Dolby Atmos has moved the goalposts for loudness, all the way down to -18 LUFS. 
This was one of the main topics of conversation for this year’s Dynamic Range Day, with the Atmos versions of 5 albums being nominated for the award - and in fact, the overall winner was an Atmos mix & master.
In this episode I talk to Nick Rives from Capitol Studios, who mixed the winning album, and we discuss:

• Nick's approach to mixing immersive audio
• How he got started with Dolby Atmos
• Using spatial effects to enhance the musical impact
• How the -18 LUFS guideline works in practise
• The benefits and challenges of Atmos dynamics
