Mariah Carey Live in Dolby Atmos, with Mix Engineer Paul Falcone

Front of house mix engineer Paul Falcone joins host Ben Givarz to discuss how he helped bring Mariah Carey’s residencies at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas to life as immersive live music experiences. He reflects on his journey from legendary New York recording studios to live concert mixing, and shares how he uses Dolby Atmos®, along with precise room tuning and even in-car reference checks, to keep the focus on Mariah’s iconic voice and maximize the emotional impact of the show.

“I always would get that feeling as a kid. I always wanted music to surround me. And being able to actually do that with Dolby Atmos and get that feeling — it does give me the chills. And I want the audience to feel that too. I want it to be an emotional experience.”

—Paul Falcone, FOH Mix Engineer, Mariah Carey
