What We Covered
- The 50th Anniversary box sets. UMe released the Rock And Roll Over super deluxe sets on November 6, 2026, fifty years after the 1976 album.
- My Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mix. I mixed the original 1976 album in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround for the Blu-ray Audio disc, working from the original multitracks. Eddie Kramer, who produced the original album, created a separate new 2026 mix.
- Peter Criss’s drums. “Calling Dr. Love,” “Hard Luck Woman” and “Mr. Speed” sound huge in Atmos, and I got into how we got there.
- The documentary and KISS Kruise Vegas. We also got into the documentary and KISS Kruise Vegas.
Why Rock And Roll Over Works in Immersive Audio
A stereo mix stacks every part of a record between two speakers. Dolby Atmos gives each performance its own space around and above the listener, so you can hear the band playing in the room. My goal with Rock And Roll Over was to open up those 1976 performances without losing what made the album great in the first place. You can read more about my approach on Dolby Atmos Mixing for Classic Albums.
