The Dolby Atmos course, by Alberto Rossetto, co-founder and CEO of Milk Audio Store and Milk Studios, aims to progressively build theoretical and practical skills up to operational autonomy in a Pro Tools session for mixing in Dolby Atmos. A course designed for producers, sound engineers and musicians who wish to understand and consciously use music production techniques in Dolby Atmos-now increasingly in demand in the recording industry and major streaming platforms-developing technological skills, critical listening and studio operational practice to fully enter the world of immersive audio.

Course content and structure

The program alternates theoretical moments, which are necessary to navigate formats, standards and distribution chains, with practical sessions held in the Dolby Atmos Mix Room, where people work directly on real projects. We start with the evolution of formats and basic concepts of object-oriented audio, moving through system configuration and setup on Pro Tools, to the construction of three-dimensional soundscapes, creative management of automations and panning, and finally dedicated mixing and mastering techniques.

The goal is to provide comprehensive operational expertise that can transform a stereo production into an immersive mix ready for distribution, with attention to aesthetic choices, perceptual performance, and compatibility on different listening systems.
