This paper discusses the different aspects of mixing for 360-degree multi-camera live music videos. We describe our two spatial audio production workflows, which were developed and fine-tuned through a series of case studies including rock, pop, and orchestral music. The different genres were chosen to test if the production tools and techniques were equally efficient for mixing different types of music. In our workflows, one of the most important parts of the mixing process is to match the Ambisonics mix with a stereo reference. Among other things, the process includes automation, proximity effects, creating a sense a space, and managing transitions between cameras.
