• You work on a sound design or mastering project throughout the boot camp.
• Mornings start with dedicated lectures, followed by hands-on demonstrations in Dolby Atmos.
• Early afternoons start with daily listening sessions, during which participants audition their projects in the main Dolby Atmos studio. Professional comments from our lecturer and discussions with participants follow these sessions.
• Afternoons and evenings will be dedicated to focused work on your projects with ad-hoc tutoring from the lecturer.
• The work on selected projects will be done on laptops with headsets, as the Dolby Atmos Renderer enables binaural audio monitoring.

We look forward to seeing you all in Prague and digging into these topics:

1. Introduction to immersive sound.
2. Design thinking approach in setting up immersive sound scenes.
3. Dolby Atmos setup.
4. Mastering in Dolby Atmos.
5. Delivering and distributing projects in Dolby Atmos.

• as a composer, producer, and sound designer, you will work on your own sound scenes
• as an audio engineer and sound designer, you will work on mastering existing music into Dolby Atmos

The boot camp venue is sound studio BEEP in Prague, equipped with Dolby ATMOS HE technology. 

All participants will get well-respected qualifications within the industry, demonstrating they’ve studied an industry-based course under expert supervision and have the practical, hands-on skills to continually grow as professional studios are looking for.

Dolby Atmos is sought after for several compelling reasons that enhance both the consumer experience and the creator’s ability to produce high-quality audio content. Here are the key factors contributing to its popularity:

1. Immersive Sound Experience: Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, which allows sound to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. This means viewers can experience audio coming from all directions, including overhead, creating a more immersive experience that mimics real-life sound environments.
2. Enhanced Audio Clarity and Depth: The technology allows for more precise placement and movement of sounds, offering listeners a clearer, more nuanced audio experience. This clarity makes subtle sounds more noticeable and provides a richer sound stage.
3. Competitive Advantage in Media Production: As the industry standard for immersive audio rises, having Dolby Atmos capability gives content creators a competitive edge. Movies, music, and games produced in Atmos are often seen as higher quality, attracting a broader audience and satisfying consumer demand for top-tier audio experiences.
4. Growing Consumer Electronics Support: There is a significant push in consumer electronics, such as home theater systems, soundbars, and even smartphones and laptops, to support Dolby Atmos. This widespread support increases consumer demand for content that leverages the technology.
5. Industry Adoption and Content Availability: Major streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ are adopting Dolby Atmos for their original content. This broad industry adoption encourages producers to integrate Atmos into their production processes to meet platform standards and consumer expectations.
6. Future-Proofing Content: As future technologies and formats evolve, content produced with Dolby Atmos is expected to remain compatible and relevant, offering longevity to productions crafted with this technology.
7. Enhanced Creative Potential: For audio professionals, Dolby Atmos provides an expanded toolkit for creative expression, allowing them to manipulate sound in innovative ways that were not possible with older audio formats.

Overall, Dolby Atmos is sought after due to its ability to enhance the sensory experience of audio in entertainment, its increasing adoption across various media, and the technological edge it provides in a competitive industry.
