Ceri Thomas from Dolby Music on Episode 407 of the Inner Circle Podcast

Also, how TikTok royalties works, and what will happen to musical instrument sales after the boom during Covid.

My guest this week is Ceri Thomas, who’s responsible for content and studio enablement for Dolby Music. He works with engineers, studios and record labels to ensure that they can create music using Dolby’s Atmos Technology.

After 15 years in the film and television industry at companies like Danetracks, Todd-Soundelux and Twenty Four Seven Sound, Ceri started as an applications engineer in virtual reality at Dolby. He then made the jump to working with Atmos in 2015, so he has vast experience on the subject.

During the interview we spoke about how to get into Atmos mixing, the vast number of devices that are Atmos capable, Dolby room tuning, what makes a great immersive mix, and much more.

I spoke with Ceri from his office in Burbank.

On the intro I’ll take a look at how TikTok royalties work, and what happens to musical instrument sales after the pandemic.
