This is an explanation of upmixing to ATMOS for a film with a lot of monsters in the soundtrack. There is infinite detail in the Protools session, but a small number of faders are...

    "There are people who pursue the vintage sounds, but they use $10,000 microphones, $20,000 tape machines, and $50,000 boards, so they get this shiny, modern version of old music. They're always perplexed at how to sound like Dead Moon or something. It's so easy: You give $100,000 to charity...

    Unusual Speaker Designs

    To me the point of testing, even on axis, is to 1 Compare to early computer speakers, Apple or KLH, small drivers in a similar plastic shell. 2 To understand what those drivers do in that kind of enclosure. 3 Possibly embarrass the designers and collectors. Hey maybe it sounds good? Since it...

    I am not a fan of Jeff Koons. He was wealthy and bought his way into the art world. But some like him. Do you need a $750 each speaker shaped like a balloon dog? Maybe ASR needs to test it, 360 degrees. https://shop.thebroad.org/products/balloon-dog-speaker?variant=41926064701527 The same...
