  • Please stop talking about Atmos

    Amazing show. Great resource for learning and hearing different techniques. Lij, please: lay off the Atmos content. Your audience has a range of folks, I know. But for us home studio folks, Atmos is impractical (and boring).

RSR556 – Steve Genewick – The Majesty of Turning Spinal Tap Up to Eleven in Atmos
Q: How did you approach monitoring and headphone mixes in a large orchestral session?
Headphone mixes were typically mono or simple, with a conductor and musicians receiving targeted feeds; the goal was to keep the musicians hearing a balanced, consistent monitor while the control room engineer managed the broader mix and cues.
