A few weeks ago, we ran an op-ed titled “Is Dolby Atmos Bringing Gatekeeping Back to Music?” written by Los Angeles-based music producer, mixer, and instrumentalist Dean Reid, known for working with artists such as Lana Del Rey, James Blake, and Stevie Nicks.

We quickly got these three esteemed record makers onto a Zoom to try to come to an understanding of what this all means. And we learned that even amongst the industry’s most elite practitioners, there is a lot of uncertainty.
