Since then, he’s developed expertise in Stereo and Dolby Atmos mixing, with credits including Alanis Morissette, Death Cab For Cutie, and Green Day among others.
Matt is also the founder and host of Working Class Audio, a podcast with 20,000 monthly listeners, and over 530 episodes.
During the interview we spoke about the evolution of immersive audio, his innovative approach to mixing in Atmos, his insights after 500+ podcasts, encouraging authenticity in music production, and much more.
