#36 McKay Garner: Embracing Immersive Audio
In this episode of The Mentor My Mix Podcast, we had the opportunity to meet with producer, engineer, mixer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer, Mckay Garner. We discuss how he has established an impressive resume working with some of the biggest names in the industry and what led him to pursue his passion for songwriting, engineering, and producing.
We begin the interview with an analysis and breakdown of the pre-mastered track “Bright Dark”, Written and produced by Ben Flanagan from the rock band “Black Map” with Mckay in the roles of co-producer, arranger, and mixer. Mckay goes on to discuss his day-to-day work life, how he has built an impressive Dolby Atmos configured studio, and how his experimentation with sound design has shifted the way he works and collaborates with artists and musicians.
Mckay shares his passion for the world of immersive sound and explains object-based mixing and binaural rendering, as well as the optimal environment to set up an Atmos system. This leads us to an in-depth discussion of technological advancements in music and the customization of individual listening experiences.
