Bob Clearmountain on Atmos

Simply put, Bob Clearmountain is one of the most accomplished mixing engineers and producers of all time. His body of work includes both studio and live mixes for Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, The Band, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Tears for Fears, Roxy Music and Simple Minds, just to name a few. Bob is also sought after for his work in 5.1 and now Dolby Atmos.

Bob is married to Apogee CEO Betty Bennett, and sadly, the couple lost their home along with Bob’s world-renowned studio, Mix This!, in the devastating Palisades Fire this past January. [Note that we interviewed Betty in our February 2025 NAMM issue, and that interview took place just weeks before the fire.]
