## Philosophy

> Audio signals exist not only in the physical realm, but are imbued with intentional weight, often to the point of saturation. They must be handled so well at each junction to remain potent and evocative; when engineers do our jobs thoughtfully, the technology disappears and we make recordings that are not only accurate historical records, but works of art in their own right.

I love working on both sides of the glass. Artist, composer, producer, label founder — I deliver in every room in the building.

## Immersive mastering

Now offering immersive mastering from a calibrated 7.2.4 spatial monitoring environment. Dolby Atmos today, with the open Eclipsa Audio format on the horizon.

# Services

Recording, mixing, mastering, and post-production. From my Denver studio and on location throughout the Mountain West. I've spent decades doing this work, and I meet every project on its own terms, with the same attention whatever its scale.

## Immersive Mastering

The new frontiers of spatial audio are here, and I believe acoustic music, chamber music, New Music, and contemporary classical deserve to be part of them.

I master for Dolby Atmos in a calibrated 7.2.4 monitoring environment, and I'm tracking the emerging open formats coming up behind it.

Whether you're delivering to streaming platforms, preparing for theatrical distribution, exploring spatial audio for the first time, or composing a piece where space is part of the music from the start, I'd love to talk about your project.

[More about immersive mastering and spatial collaboration →](https://jimruberto.com/immersive)

## Immersive Catalog Reissues

Give a back catalog a second commercial life — bringing recordings you've already made to new listeners, on the platforms that increasingly reward spatial audio. Whether the original sessions are intact or scattered across formats and years, there's usually a path into Dolby Atmos.

If you're a label thinking about your catalog in spatial audio, let's talk about what's possible.

## Immersive Recording

If your music lives in a room, immersive recording captures that room. I record ensembles, soloists, and live performances directly to immersive formats on location, so the spatial character of a great hall or an intimate space becomes part of the recording rather than something flattened on the way to stereo.

My immersive capture is rooted in Morten Lindberg's 2L-Prism: a three-dimensional array that maps one microphone straight to one speaker, forming the Atmos bed. The ideal is to let the array do the work, and capture the room as it actually sounded. Done well, you don't hear the technique. You hear the room.

I bring the full chain to a session: 24 channels, on-location immersive capture, and experience working alongside film and documentary crews. And because I also mix and master in immersive, I can carry a project from the session all the way to the finished spatial master, with nothing lost in the handoff.

## Stereo Mastering

Mastering has changed. The toolsets have evolved profoundly, and delivery requirements have become more complex; sometimes it feels like they change every week. We'll release your project following the current standards for each delivery medium. And it's going to sound great. In my calibrated listening environment, I'll put the finishing touches on your project with world-class equipment and the kind of deep experience that only comes from doing this for a long time.

## Mixing

It's what I do. Pick your genre. I focus on and often spend the most time cleaning up source tracks, especially today, when a lot of great music gets made at home. From simple DIY recordings to high track count professional sessions, I'll meet your project where it is, highlight the special in it, and bring it to its best destination.

## Studio & Location Recording

Some projects are perfect for my studio. I also freelance out of studios across the Mountain West, and I'm well equipped for location recording: 24 channels and experience collaborating with film crews.

If the room is part of the music, I know how to listen to it.

## Audio Restoration & De-noising

Subtle, careful cleanup of recordings that have a problem. Mouth clicks and breath noise in a vocal take. Coughs, squeaks, and chair creaks in live recordings. Interview and location footage cleanup. Noise floor reduction.

RX is my instrument, and the work shows in what you don't hear: no artifacts, no smearing, no gap where the problem was. The fixes that look impossible are usually just a question of patience and the right spectral edit.

# Immersive Audio Mastering for Classical and New Music

Spatial audio isn't a trend. It's a new canvas.

## What is immersive audio?

Immersive audio places the listener inside the music rather than in front of it. For decades, recorded music has lived in two channels. Stereo is a remarkable format and it isn’t going anywhere, but spatial audio opens up something fundamentally different.

## What is a 7.2.4 immersive monitoring environment?

A 7.2.4 monitoring environment uses seven ear-level monitors, two subwoofers, and four height channels, arranged for full-sphere spatial coverage. It lets an engineer evaluate an immersive master across the full spatial field and across the playback systems listeners actually use, from dedicated home theaters to soundbars to headphones.

I helped design and implement the technical systems for the 7.2.4 immersive mastering studio at Tippet Rise Art Center in Montana, where I’ve spent nearly a decade recording world-class classical artists. Then I built my own. My Denver studio is a converted basement built around a world-class signal chain: Grace Design monitoring, Fluid Audio speakers, and Merging Technologies conversion, calibrated meticulously for accurate spatial listening. Every element was chosen deliberately.

## Which immersive audio formats can be delivered today?

Today, the immersive format that matters for music delivery is Dolby Atmos. It’s the most widely supported immersive format and the one with broad consumer distribution, available on Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon Music and supported across major streaming and broadcast systems.

### What is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is an object-based immersive format: instead of fixed channels, sounds are placed as objects in a three-dimensional field and rendered to whatever speakers or headphones the listener has. It's the format most streaming platforms use for spatial music today, which makes it the practical delivery target for most projects.

## What is Eclipsa Audio?

Eclipsa Audio is an emerging, royalty-free immersive format built on the open IAMF standard (Immersive Audio Model and Formats), developed by Samsung and Google through the Alliance for Open Media as an open alternative to Dolby Atmos. As of 2026 it’s gaining ground on TVs, soundbars, and YouTube, but it is not yet a music-streaming delivery target the way Atmos is. I’m tracking it closely.

The reason it’s worth watching isn’t the technology alone; it’s the economics. An open, royalty-free format could lower the barrier for independent artists, ensembles, and New Music creators who are priced out of proprietary immersive tooling. That matters to me, and it’s part of why I am staying tuned in to where this is heading.

## How does immersive audio benefit classical and acoustic music?

Acoustic music has always existed in three dimensions, and immersive formats finally let the recording reflect that. A string quartet in a room. A choir in a cathedral. A solo piano and the space around it. An ensemble whose physical arrangement is part of the composition.

I believe acoustic music, chamber music, New Music, and contemporary classical deserve the same access to immersive formats that pop and film have had for years. That’s why I developed this practice and built this room.

## What does an immersive mastering session involve?

We start with a conversation about your project, your creative intent, and your distribution goals. You provide stems or a spatial mix, depending on scope. I work in my calibrated monitoring environment to craft a spatial master that translates across playback systems, then deliver final masters to spec for each target format and platform, with documentation of loudness, dynamic range, and any format-specific requirements.

Throughout, I’m here to answer questions, explain options, and make sure you feel confident about every decision. I’ve been through this enough times to make it smooth.

## Do I need stems or a finished mix to start an immersive master?

Either can work, depending on the scope of the project. If you have an existing stereo mix, we’ll talk about what spatial audio can add to the listening experience. If you’re working on something new, we can discuss format and approach earlier in the process, and you can provide stems or a spatial mix.

## What is the difference between composing in space and mixing into space?

Mixing into space takes existing music and places it in a spatial field after the fact. Composing in space means spatial movement, directionality, and the listener’s position become part of the compositional intent itself, from the first note on the page.

If you’re composing a piece where space is structural, the conversation starts earlier and looks different. I sit at a unique intersection of artist, engineer, composer, and producer, and from that vantage point I can see possibilities that are hard to see from any single seat. I work with composers as a creative and technical partner from the earliest stages: exploring what the medium can do, understanding its constraints, and helping translate spatial ideas into a form that can be realized, recorded, mixed, and delivered. This is consultative, exploratory work. There’s no fixed scope or standard deliverable. It starts with the music.

## How does spatial intent survive consumer playback?

A well-made immersive master is built to translate, so the listener’s experience holds up whether they’re on a full immersive home theater, a soundbar, or headphones. That translation is exactly what the 7.2.4 room exists to verify: I evaluate the master across the full spatial field and across the playback scenarios real listeners use, rather than mixing for one ideal system and hoping it survives everywhere else.

## Where can I find an immersive audio mastering engineer in Colorado?

I offer immersive audio mastering from a calibrated 7.2.4 monitoring environment in Denver, Colorado, working with artists, ensembles, and labels across Colorado and the Mountain West, and remotely for projects further afield.

## How do I start a project with Jim?

Reach out at jim@jimruberto.com with a bit about your project. Whether you have a finished mix that needs a spatial master, a recording project to plan, or a spatial idea you want to explore from the very beginning, that first conversation is where it starts.

## The Invitation

Here's the thing I can't stop thinking about.

Most of the conversation around immersive audio is about the end of the chain: playback, delivery, consumer experience. In the professional world, we talk mostly about how to take existing music and place it in a spatial field, or about capture technique: putting more microphones in front of the ensemble in cleverly designed arrays. That's valuable work, and it's work I do every day.

But the bigger question is upstream. What would a piece sound like if the composer had conceived of space as a structural element from the first note on the page? Not how do we mix this into immersive, but what becomes possible when spatial movement, directionality, and the listener's position are part of the compositional intent itself?

Obviously, these aren't new concepts. Composers were placing separated choirs in opposite lofts of St. Mark's in Venice in the early 1500s — *cori spezzati*, "broken choirs," the architecture itself shaping the music. What's new isn't spatial sound. It's that you no longer have to visit the cathedral to hear it. Now it travels.

I've been fortunate to work closely with composers who think this way. I don't have all the answers, but I've been thinking about this for years, and I've got some ideas. If you're a composer, a performer, an ensemble, or a label, and any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you.

## Let's talk about your project.
