Dolby Atmos Mixing Studio Near London

Curtis Schwartz Studio is a Dolby Atmos mixing studio near London, based in West Sussex within easy reach of Gatwick. I mix and master music in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround and stereo, with delivery for Apple Spatial Audio, Blu-ray, streaming, CD and vinyl.

The studio offers Dolby Atmos mixing for albums, singles, immersive releases, catalogue remixes and Apple Music delivery.

The aim is not to make the music sound gimmicky. It is to make it feel bigger, clearer, more immersive and more alive, while protecting the performance, the arrangement and the identity of the artist.

Recent immersive work includes YES - Aurora, recorded, mixed and mastered at Curtis Schwartz Studio in stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos, with Blu-ray authoring also handled in-house.

Recent Dolby Atmos work: YES – Aurora

Recorded, mixed and mastered at Curtis Schwartz Studio, including stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos versions.

Following its release, Aurora reached No. 3 on the Official UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart, with Top 10 positions on the Official Albums Sales, Physical Albums, Album Downloads and Vinyl Albums charts. In the US, it debuted at No. 36 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart.

For Aurora, the Atmos approach was musical rather than gimmicky - using space, height and depth to support the arrangements, not distract from them.

What Dolby Atmos can bring to your music

Dolby Atmos is not just about sounds moving around the room. Used musically, it can make a record feel wider, deeper and more emotionally connected.

Vocals can sit more naturally. Instruments can breathe. Reverbs, delays and rooms can open up around the listener. Dense arrangements can become clearer without losing power.

The best Atmos mixes do not distract from the song. They let the song expand.

Remote Mastering and Atmos Enhancement

You can send me your raw stereo mix remotely and I can master it for release, improving tone, depth, loudness, translation and overall musical impact. I can supply streaming-ready WAV masters, CD-ready masters, DDP files where required, and help prepare the release with ISRC codes and Red Book standard delivery.

If you are interested in Dolby Atmos, I can work from approved stems for a full immersive mix, or in some cases create an enhanced Atmos version from a stereo master using specialist processing. The aim is always musical: bigger, clearer and more immersive, without damaging the original performance.

How the Atmos process works

You can send approved stems or a final stereo mix, depending on the project. I check the material carefully in the studio, build the Atmos mix where required, master it through proper full-range monitoring, then supply approval masters before final delivery.

What I deliver

Streaming-ready WAV masters, Dolby Atmos masters, 5.1 surround masters, CD-quality masters, vinyl-ready masters where appropriate, and DDP files if required.

Curtis also masters for Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround, stereo high-resolution, CD and vinyl. Recent work includes the 2026 YES album Aurora, mastered at Curtis Schwartz Studio for Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround, stereo high-resolution, CD and vinyl, with Blu-ray authoring also handled in-house.

Release experience across stereo, Atmos and physical formats

Curtis has mastered, recorded, mixed and co-produced Stacey Kent albums with a combined total of over one billion streams. His wider mastering, mixing and production work includes projects for YES, Cutting Crew, Riopy, Emma Rawicz, Bee Gees, Colosseum and many more.

Payment and delivery

Remote Atmos mixing and mastering projects are kept simple. Once the material has been checked and the project is confirmed, I can send a payment link or invoice. Payment can be made by bank transfer, credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay before the final masters are delivered.
