276 - Oasis in Dolby Atmos, featuring Mix Engineer Ryan Hewitt

GRAMMY Award®-winning producer, mixer, and engineer Ryan Hewitt joins us from his Nashville studio to discuss re-mixing the entire Oasis catalog in Dolby Atmos®. We dive into his journey from learning the craft from his father, to engineering the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Stadium Arcadium with Rick Rubin, to building his own Stratmosphere Studios. Ryan shares insights on Dolby Atmos mixes for artists like Noah Kahan, his meticulous work preserving the power and legacy of Oasis’ iconic albums, and his experience seeing their long-awaited 2025 reunion tour at Wembley.

“The idea was to honor the original mixes, note for note, as much as possible. We couldn't do electron for electron in the console, but close enough. But it has to be, it's just gotta be great. That's all there is to it. You know, I wasn't there. I don't know exactly how everything was done. But I've made enough records that I can listen to it intently for a long time, many times, and figure out how it was done. Some of the songs, some of the records, we had notes for. Which were very helpful. And others we didn't even have track sheets for. So it was a really incredible audio archeology project.”
