Join our Dolby Atmos 2024 Seminar "Women In Atmos" with Grammy Nominated Natalia Schlesinger and our host, Marc A. Gallo.
We’ll also feature Special Guest, Grammy Nominated Artist Carolyn Malachi. She’ll share her immersive mixing techniques used in the reimagining of Dr. Maya Angelou's 1956 album, Miss Calypso.
Carolyn is a Professor at Howard University’s Cathy Hughes School of Communications, where she advocates for women working in or aspiring to work in the music industry’s technical professions.
Grammy Nominated Immersive Engineer Natalia Schlesinger will discuss how to use space and movement to not only enhance the track but also make it more expressive. These elements can be utilized not only in the mix stage but also in production and even composition. Natalia will share a few sessions where she used these techniques as expressive resources.
Additionally, she’s currently working on an orchestral piece with Maestro Julio Reyes Copello, where the entire composition is based on spatial audio. You’ll see how this process works and how thinking in the immersive realm has affected the composition, recording, and, in general, the entire production.
There will be a Q&A segment after Natalia’s presentation.

Richard is widely regarded as the ‘go-to’ engineer for many heritage artists, producers, and record labels. He has produced immersive mixes for Thin Lizzy, Def Leppard, Traffic, The Kinks, KISS, and Kylie Minogue.
During this seminar, we’ll delve deep into his Atmos mixes for The Who’s double album, “Quadrophenia,” including their hit, “Love, Reign O’er Me.” Additionally, we’ll review his Atmos workflow for Robin Trower’s album, “Bridge of Sighs,” and others, comparing his approach with The Who’s “Quadrophenia.”
Furthermore, we’ll revisit his early education in ambisonics and how it relates to, and differs from, Dolby Atmos. Richard will also demonstrate how he personalized the Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) and loaded it into the Renderer to improve the binaural experience and its accuracy.
Finally, our online audience is encouraged to participate in the Q&A session at the end of the seminar, and soon we’ll have a special guest to be announced. Stay tuned!
