10:05 AM - 10:35 AM (CDT) | Keynote | Creating a Sonic Vision: Stereo and Immersive Should one be an “expansion” of the other, remaining true to artistic intent? Should one be complementary to the other, yet artistically fresh and somewhat “new”? Something in-between? Catalog material? A new project? Every song and every mix is different, of course, but good things seem to happen whenever an artist, producer and engineer talk about the sonic approach to a mix, whether stereo or immersive…or both. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12:15 PM - 1:00 PM (CDT) | Immersive Music Mixing: The Proscenium and Beyond For the past 70-plus years, music production and playback has been based on the proscenium, with a left-right-phantom-center image presented to the listener, as if from the front wall, or a stage. Essentially the same for 5.1, 7.1, first-gen IMAX and all other versions of surround sound, on through the introduction of Atmos and 360RA. And yet…immersive music feels different, and it’s just getting started. Nashville mix engineers discuss what they have discovered, learned, adopted or been happily surprised by these past five years in working with objects, beds, LCR, sides, rear and heights.

4:00 PM - 4:45 PM (CDT) | Mix Translation: From Studio to Binaural to Streamer to Home We start with the assumption that there is a final, master, future-proof version of the immersive mix, at the highest sample rate and bit depth, ideally created in a studio with speakers. And that the end goal is to bring listeners, whether in a car, sitting in a high-end home theater or laying on the couch with headphones on, as close as possible to that experience. Immersive music distribution and playback poses entirely new, and sometimes maddening, challenges for mix and mastering engineers, while at the same time opening up tremendous, all-new creative possibilities. Here, engineers discuss the tips and techniques they’ve developed to help ensure that consumers experience a quality immersive mix. Presented by Mix Moderator: F.
