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.
