“As I jumped into the world of mixing in Atmos, I thought I was OK having my speaker management system do an auto calibration in my room. Boy, was I way off!!. I didn’t realize what a difference it made until I asked Erik to properly get my room sounding as it should and within Dolby’s specs. Although my room presented some challenges, Erik, with his many years of experience in the field, his attention to detail and best of all, being a mixer himself, made not only the process fun and educational, but now I feel comfortable that what I hear in my room is accurate. I’m ready to embark in the world of ATMOS.”

ABout Erik Foreman
For sixteen years, I worked at George Lucas’ legendary Skywalker Sound with amazingly talented artists using cutting-edge gear in extraordinary ways and creating spectacular soundtracks. From ADR gigs with Robin Williams, George Lucas, Ang Lee, and Ronnie James Dio to sound design and mix work with Genndy Tartakovsky, Ryan Coogler, and Robert Rodriquez. I did it all and loved every minute. I won three Emmys.
In 2016, I moved over to Dolby Laboratories to become a member of a small content team responsible for showcasing the awesomeness that is Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. Leveraging the science of sight and sound and the engineering behind it, I became an expert in the new world of immersive audio and video, working one-on-one with artists like Hank Shocklee and Perry Farrell.
Today, I am a sound artist who demonstrates the value and art of Dolby Atmos to the public through large-scale exhibitions and numerous high-profile partners who are keen on adopting this tech for their products. I run a business creating top tier content for companies such as Apple, Blizzard, Warner Brothers and local musicians.
I’m passionate and driven by the art, the story, and immersive consumer experiences.
