OUR TUTORS ARE industry leaders in Dolby Atmos
Our Dolby Atmos Mixing for Music course is taught by a team of industry professionals who bring a wealth of expertise to the different elements of the course.
Grammy-nominated engineer James Auwarter leads the course. Alongside James, we invite specialists who have worked on various award-winning motion picture projects to give additional lectures and workshops.
James Auwarter
Having been officially credited on 32 Grammy Nominations and winning the coveted award for his work with The Clark Sisters, a few of James’ notable clients have included: Kanye West, Adam Levine, Rihanna, and John Legend.
After working out of countless big studios as a freelancer, in 2016 James launched his first public studio in Chicago, branded Coda Room Audio. In 2019, James received Arts Council England’s formal endorsement for a UK Tier 1 “Exceptional Talent” visa, paving the way for a new adventure and expansion across the pond. While still retaining a presence in the Chicago/USA scene, James now also resides in London and remains available for hire both inside and outside of Coda Room Audio.
James delivers regular guest lectures on Dolby Atmos Mixing.

This course has helped to develop me into a well rounded producer, engineer, and musician. It has helped open doors to career opportunities that I would otherwise not have had access to. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for the fantastic team, course, and resources available at Abbey Road Institute London!

It’s a unique experience in so many ways, the location, the calibre of guest lecturers and access to Abbey Road Studios for classes is pretty amazing. There aren't many places you get to record a full orchestra!
