Life in Surround - Surround Music Review and Discussion YouTube Channel

[MrSmithers]

FWIW, I'd be thrilled to interview the likes of Clearmountain, Scheiner, Wilson and company. Perhaps over time they'll become interested in the channel.
Or perhaps reaching out to them is the thing to do. I some ways, I think I need a manager or some kind of logistics help with LiS.

Yeah no harm trying? And you could mention Disturbing The Universe in surround as well?

I've thought about using DtU as a "how to produce a surround album" kind of thing. I have secretly vowed never to review it, unless requested though. I don't want to be self-aggrandizing with the channel.

There was actually an entire interview shot about making DtU (shot by my good friend in the A/V business Jason Ryder) a couple of years ago, but the video and audio aren't synced, and I fumble over some words and stuff, to my efforts to edit the footage died pretty early on.

A re-attemtp might be a good idea.

Steven Wilson's 2017 Cinderella Man in my DAW. Sounding great in 5.1. Now, to just make an original song sound like this! Easy, right?

Hey Mike, this was your best video since Abbey Road! I subsequently placed an order at Mary Fahl’s website and then shot her an email to let her know that my purchase was a direct result of watching your interview.

I met Clearmountain at AES NY back in October and he was super nice - very happy to talk about surround and thrilled to hear there's still a fanbase for it. His studio's site has a contact page - maybe it's worth a shot?

What Makes a Surround Mix Great?

 

[HomerJAU]

Great presentation Mike! Hopefully a few mixing engineers watch this and take notes!

 

[JonUrban]

Go Get 'em Mike. You're doing a great job.

What Makes a Surround Mix Great?

superb job baggy!
there's at least one more noteworthy engineer i'd like to add to the wonderful Scheiner's, Wilson's, Clearmountain's, Penny's, Parsonses'es-es, etc. and that is one Ronald Prent of Galaxy Studios.
not only has Mr. Prent been there at the forefront every step of the way in 5.1 Surround, from the early days of MultiCh SACD and DVD-Audio, through the HFPA Blu-ray Audio 'thing' and onto the next level with Auro-3D and now Atmos but his surround music mixing can always be relied upon to be of a high standard, i would say he is right up there with the very best of them

Mando Diao "Aelita" takes some beating.. as does Lori Lieberman's "Bricks Against The Glass".. both excellent.

I thought he did an excellent job on Simple Minds’ Once Upon A Time.

I have and like Tiesto too. The Lacuna Coil is pretty good.

Did he do Hooverphonic also. Love that one.
