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
