Early settlers to the Midwest were accustomed to harsh winters, but the blizzard that hit the Great Plains on January 12th, 1888 caught thousands of pioneer families off guard. The storm was especially brutal for children trying to find their way home from rural schoolhouses. Author David Laskin joins host Mike Corey to talk about how he pieced together the stories of the blizzard, and how the event lives on in the memory of their descendants.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes conversation with Academy Award®-nominated cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw about her work on “Sinners” — and the creative choices that shaped the film's look from the very early stages of conception. Autumn breaks down how she and director Ryan Coogler developed the visual language together, from camera and lens selection to lighting strategies designed to support performances, tone, and mood, especially in those challenging night scenes. Along the way, she reflects on collaboration, preparation, and the real on-set problem-solving that is always involved in filmmaking. “How our team collaborates: It's the authority [director Ryan Coogler] gives each department to pour themselves into it… everyone has a say, your opinion matters. Any great filmmaker knows that it's never about one department… When we approach stuff, we want the lighting to be a character, but we also want it to feel of the space — and so that requires us to collaborate very closely with production design… When you give people that respect and you consider them and you give them that authority, they work very hard for you and they care.” —Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC, Director of Photography, “Sinners” Be sure to check out “Sinners,” now streaming on HBO Max, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

À l'occasion de notre série à la découverte des Parcs nationaux français, voyage au sein du plus grand Parc national d'Europe et de France : le Parc Amazonien de Guyane (PAG). Sur près de 3,4 millions d'hectares, ce trésor de biodiversité se déploie entre forêt tropicale humide et communes isolées du sud de la Guyane. Depuis sa création en 2007, le PAG cherche à allier protection de l'environnement, préservation des modes de vie et des cultures locales autochtones et développement durable : un équilibre fragile, complexe à maintenir sur un territoire immense, habité et particulièrement convoité par les orpailleurs. Deuxième épisode de la première étape : Saül.   Située entre le Suriname et le Brésil, la Guyane est un département français grand de 83 000 km2, recouvert à 95% par la forêt amazonienne. Le plus souvent, les voyageurs étrangers comme les locaux d'ailleurs, ne l'appréhendent que par son littoral, sur la bande côtière. Or à l'intérieur des terres, au-delà de cette zone littorale, se déploie depuis 2007 le Parc Amazonien de Guyane, plus grande réserve de biodiversité française qui permet d'accéder justement à cette grande forêt et aux communes enclavées du centre et du sud de la Guyane.  Parmi elles : Saül, un minuscule village situé au centre du département et une des portes d'entrée du Parc. Uniquement accessible par avion, Saül est une toute petite enclave humaine, isolée au milieu de la très grande forêt. Ici, 80 habitants à peine vivent parmi les arbres géants, les lianes vertigineuses et les sous-bois marécageux, au son des oiseaux, des singes hurleurs ou des grenouilles en pagaille. Car là, bat le cœur de la forêt et les Saüliens, qu'ils soient agents du parc, agriculteurs, écoliers ou propriétaires de gîte, savent l'écouter, le partager et le défendre.  Aller à Saül, c'est aussi comprendre ce que c'était de vivre jadis, dans un arrière-pays immense et isolé, loin du joug colonial et de ses appétits. Car pendant longtemps, dans cette immense marge amazonienne, les populations autochtones, les esclaves marrons qui y avaient trouvé refuge, ou des migrants travailleurs artisanaux de l'or venus des Petites Antilles, ont résisté et inventé une vie bien à eux dans la forêt.  Aujourd'hui prisée des voyageurs et des scientifiques, cette destination unique au monde permet d'accéder par des sentiers de randonnée à la grande nature, loin des mythes de l'eldorado ou de l'enfer vert qui ont souvent collé à la peau de ce corps furieusement vivant qu'est l'Amazonie. Autour, le fléau de l'orpaillage illégal sévit, mais les Saüliens veillent et les agents du parc luttent.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes conversation with the Oscar-nominated sound team behind “One Battle After Another,” as they share how they shaped the film's world through sound—from intimate character moments to large-scale action. They discuss what it takes to capture great audio on set, build powerful sequences in post, and blending dialogue, effects, and music into a mix that plays on the biggest screens — plus how their collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson guided the sonic identity of the movie from start to finish. “Knowing Paul [Thomas Anderson] — and knowing any director — something happens on set, sound-wise and [in] production, and [if] you don't have a reference for it… it could potentially be a problem. You have the cars — the actual cars — you have the drivers, you have the road, you have the permits. Can we just spend a little time and try and get some good recordings of these vehicles? Because they're going to be really useful. It's such an iconic sequence. People are like, ‘oh man, that chase at the end of the movie is amazing.' And we worked and worked and worked on that sequence trying to find what that was supposed to be.” —Chris Scarabosio, Re-recording Mixer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Sound Designer, “One Battle After Another” Joining today's conversation: - José Antonio García - Production Sound Mixer - Tony Villaflor - Re-recording Mixer - Chris Scarabosio - Re-recording Mixer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Sound Designer Be sure to check out “One Battle After Another,” now streaming on HBO Max, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

Kai erklärt, warum Atmos mehr ist als „Sound von hinten“, weshalb Apple das Format aktiv fördert und warum Spotify zum Gamechanger werden könnte.Außerdem geht es um seine Dolby-Atmos-Installation für Udo Lindenberg in der LUDWIGGALERIE Oberhausen, um Binauralität, Headtracking, Autos als Hörraum – und um die Frage, warum Stereo trotzdem nicht verschwinden wird.Ein Gespräch über Klang als Raum, Emotion als Entscheidungsgrundlage – und darüber, wie Technik musikalische Visionen unterstützen kann.Sound&Recording-Magazin | Studiosofa PodcastWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de⁠⁠⁠Webinare: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de⁠⁠⁠/webinareWhatsApp-Gruppe: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de/whatsapp⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@soundandrecording.magazin⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@StudiosofaPodcast⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@soundandrecording.mag⁠⁠⁠

He also shares how collaboration across every department shaped the film's emotional power.“Anamorphic can be very minimal… The important thing is the way it renders closeups; it makes people bigger than life, like black and white does… The real old classic anamorphic of the fifties—I wanted to go back to this feeling… Anamorphic is like a magnifier.

Join us for our conversation with Academy Award®-nominated cinematographer Adolpho Veloso, here to discuss his stunning work on “Train Dreams.” In this episode, Veloso breaks down his natural-light approach to capturing the film's poetic portrait of early 20th century America, from shooting digitally on the Alexa 35 to embracing a 3:2 aspect ratio inspired by old family photographs. He also shares how close collaboration with the actors, along with memory and metaphor, shaped everything from handheld camera movement to the film's unforgettable wildfire sequence — all in service of telling an intimate story on an epic visual canvas. “It's such a special project. I feel like everybody involved knew that in advance. And especially with Joel [Edgerton]. I can't see anyone else playing this part, for all the possible reasons. His physicality. You believe he's a logger. You believe he's doing that hard work. But he is also really able to deliver everything without a lot of words, without big emotions. Everything is so subtle, so internal. It was kind of amazing to see that happening… I remember the first makeup test we did… he was like, ‘Do you mind if we change this to the other side so you shoot the other side of my face?' He told us, ‘I just want you to see both sides, because I feel like this side makes me look more vulnerable and this side makes me feel more assured.' He wasn't asking us to shoot any particular way, he was just so aware of himself as an actor, and also as a director himself, he was just giving us the tools so we could do whatever we wanted with those tools. But he made sure we knew that. And we obviously learned from it and we used that. So it's amazing to work with an actor that is so aware of those things.” —Adolpho Veloso, Director of Photography, “Train Dreams” Be sure to check out “Train Dreams,” now streaming on Netflix, in Dolby Atmos®.

In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Hans-Martin Buff, dem Mann hinter dem Grammy-prämierten Dolby-Atmos-Mix des aktuellen Peter-Gabriel-Albums i/o. Hans-Martin gehört zu den Pionieren im Bereich immersiver Musikproduktion – und er erklärt, warum kreatives Mixing in Dolby Atmos mehr mit Dramaturgie und musikalischem Denken zu tun hat als mit Showeffekten.

In Episode 360 of the Mixing Music Podcast, hosts Dee Kei and Lu get technical and go deep on loudness, gain staging, and headroom. Dee Kei shares a concern he has been noticing in his own work: he may be leaving loudness on the table over the length of a full song, not just in short-term LUFS moments. They explore the balance between beauty and accessibility, and how loudness is not just a mastering issue, it is a creative dimension that shapes emotion, energy, and perceived impact.The conversation breaks down what gain staging really means in modern mixing, why many classic rules were originally about managing noise, and how today it is more about preserving freedom and control in your workflow. They talk about practical target levels engineers use when hitting plugins, why some mixes feel boxed in when the mix bus is too hot, and how dense sessions can build level fast even when individual tracks are not peaking high.They also zoom out into how loudness decisions translate across mediums. Dee Kei shares how Dolby Atmos delivery constraints can change the feel of a record that relies on aggressive loudness for momentum, and how downmixes can shift balance depending on playback. They touch on the psychological reality that slightly louder often gets perceived as better, even when nothing else changes, and why sending a limited version of your mix to a client can matter for perception and decision-making.To close, they share real-world stories about how playback environments like movie theaters or broadcast chains can unintentionally slam your audio through limiters, plus a reminder that “loud and good” is not a contradiction. This episode is for mixers who want a clearer mental model of loudness, headroom, and gain staging, and how to make those decisions intentionally without destroying the mix.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mixing-music-music-production-audio-engineering-and-music/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week we sit down with the Oscar-nominated sound team behind Guillermo del Toro's “Frankenstein,” to explore the film's epic and deeply expressive soundtrack. Sound designer and supervising sound editor Nathan Robitaille, supervising sound editor Nelson Ferreira, re-recording mixer Brad Zoern, and production sound mixer Greg Chapman break down their long-standing collaboration with del Toro and the bold creative choices that shaped the film's sonic identity. From early sound exploration and practical effects to dynamic use of Dolby Atmos® and the creation of the film's unforgettable creature voice, this conversation offers a deep dive into how sound drives the emotion, scale, and storytelling in one of the year's most ambitious films.“Guillermo is really, really great about wanting to fill the space. This comes from working with him for a long time. We were able to anticipate all this stuff. There's moments where he wants the concentration on the screen and he wants to pull everything back in the room. Dolby Atmos allows us to do that so beautifully and separate stuff and make it where we can focus. This movie lends itself to Atmos… It's just such a great tool and it was so much fun on this mix to use all that. We have such a beautiful visual to work with. We have to meet that standard with the sound.”—Brad Zoern, Re-recording Mixer, “Frankenstein”Be sure to check out “Frankenstein,” now streaming on Netflix, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Our previous episodes:Guillermo del Toro and D.P.

I Found the Perfect Outdoor TVs at CES 2026: a Sylvox Tour

Make a Logo on Fiverr Walking the show floor at CES 2026, one of the most impressive booths for sheer “wow” factor was Sylvox. The company has gone all-in on the idea that your TV shouldn't be trapped inside your living room anymore. From massive backyard cinema screens to portable, roll-anywhere displays and even emergency-ready TVs, Sylvox is clearly betting big on the future of the outdoor TV. And judging by what I saw, that future is bright—literally. The 110-inch Cinema Pro Helio QLED: A Backyard Theater Dream The star of the booth is impossible to miss: the 110-inch Cinema Pro Helio QLED. This is a full-blown outdoor home theater that looks like it belongs in a luxury backyard with a pool, fireplace, and lounge furniture. Sylvox was even simulating rain on it to prove the point—this is a true IP55 weatherproof TV that doesn't need to be covered or babied. It's rated to operate from below -22°F up to 122°F, making it viable for everything from winter football games to summer movie nights. Add Google TV, voice remote control, and a thin, surprisingly lightweight design, and you're looking at a serious “build your patio around this” kind of display. The Pool Series: A 2,000-Nit Portable Bright Monitor If 110 inches feels like overkill, the Pool Series is all about flexibility. This is a 4K Ultra HD, IP55-rated outdoor TV on wheels, pushing up to 2,000 nits of brightness—bright enough to cut through direct sunlight in the morning or early evening. The big idea here is mobility: roll it out to the pool, the garage, or even down the street for a neighbor's game night. It handles the same brutal temperature range as the bigger models, and the brightness means you won't be closing shades or hunting for shade just to see what's on screen. It's a great example of Sylvox focusing on “bright monitor” performance as much as ruggedness. The Frameless Series: Ultra-Narrow Bezels for a Premium Look For those who want something sleeker and more architectural, the Frameless Series is Sylvox's design-forward outdoor TV line. These come in 43, 55, 65, and 75 inches, with an ultra-narrow 1.5 mm bezel and an IP56 rating. They're available in 1,000-nit and 2,000-nit versions, run Google TV, support Dolby Atmos, and offer wide 178-degree viewing angles. The idea is simple: make an outdoor TV that doesn't look like an outdoor TV—just a clean, premium screen that happens to survive the elements. The Rolling Touchscreen Monitor: Portrait or Landscape, Anywhere One of the more creative products at the booth is a rolling, battery-powered touchscreen monitor that can switch between landscape and portrait mode. With around 500 nits of brightness, it's better suited for indoors or covered areas, but the versatility is the real story. It has a built-in camera for video calls, runs Android, and includes a 10,000 mAh battery so it doesn't need to stay plugged in. It's easy to imagine this being used in a studio, at events, or even on a covered patio for TikTok-style vertical content. The Deck and Lift Systems: TVs That Disappear When You Don't Need Them Sylvox is also thinking about integration, not just screens. The Deck Series and lift-based systems let a TV rise out of cabinetry or deck structures at the push of a button, then disappear when you're done watching. These setups are also IP55-rated and typically around 1,000 nits, and they're built on a modular, movable foundation system that doesn't require permanent concrete. It's a clever solution for people who want a clean outdoor space that transforms into an entertainment zone on demand. The RV and Emergency TVs: Entertainment Meets Preparedness At the other end of the spectrum is the emergency TV, and it might be the most charmingly over-engineered product in the lineup. It's a small, waterproof TV with AM/FM/SW radio, USB playback, a built-in flashlight, SOS alarm, walkie-talkie, and even a hand crank for power generation. It's designed for RVs, camping, or emergencies—but it's also easy to imagine people using it for a tailgate or backyard game when power isn't readily available. It's a reminder that Sylvox isn't just about luxury patios—they're also thinking about resilience and portability. The Cinema Series: 5,000 Nits and Built for Full Sun Finally, the Cinema Series ties everything together for people who want the absolute best image quality outdoors. These TVs push up to 5,000 nits of brightness, offer 120 Hz refresh rates, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even include a built-in subwoofer. They're designed with heat and UV resistance, blackout prevention, and local dimming to maintain contrast even in extreme sunlight. In other words, this is Sylvox's answer to the biggest problem with outdoor TVs: making sure you can actually see the picture when the sun is blazing. Why Sylvox Stands Out at CES 2026 At CES 2026, a lot of companies are talking about AI, transparent displays, and experimental form factors. Sylvox, on the other hand, is focused on something very practical: making TVs that work where people actually want to spend time. With IP55 and IP56 weatherproof designs, extreme temperature tolerance, and brightness levels that rival or beat many indoor TVs, Sylvox is carving out a serious niche in the outdoor TV market. If you're thinking about upgrading a patio, deck, pool area, or even an RV setup, this is one booth that absolutely deserves your attention.

When scenes move faster than structures can hold, what makes an independent dance label a twenty-year outlier?Co-founder of Mobilee Records, Ralf Kollmann reflects on two decades at the heart of electronic music, navigating seismic shifts in technology, culture, and the economics of independent labels. Recorded in Berlin during Mobilee's 20th anniversary year, this conversation traces a long view from the dancefloor, from collective beginnings with Anja Schneider, and genre-fluid curation, to the pressures facing labels and artists today.With characteristic honesty, Ralf explores what has changed, what has endured, and why patience, timing, and restraint have become radical tools in an industry increasingly driven by volume, visibility, and constant output. It's a conversation about longevity over momentum, intuition over noise, and building structures that can survive more than a moment.“Survival isn't about chasing trends. It's about knowing when to move, and when to pause.” - Ralf KollmannJoin us as we explore:✅ What it takes to sustain an independent label across 20 years✅ Why collectives form, evolve, and sometimes dissolve✅ Timing, trust, and the human side of A&R decisions✅ The pressure of constant output in the streaming era✅ Revisiting the catalogue over chasing the next release✅ Immersive audio, Dolby Atmos, and the question of adoption➤ Follow us at:⁠Instagram:⁠⁠ @missionmakers⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠ @dj.n1nja⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠ @dj_n1nja⁠⁠Soundcloud:⁠⁠ @dj-ninja⁠➤ Credits:Music: Mission Makers - N1NJA (Unreleased)Producer: Farah Nanji➤ For show notes + more on our host visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mission-makers.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dj-ninja.com/⁠⁠

The sound of “Sinners” is bold, immersive, and essential to the film's emotional power — a standout achievement that has earned the film a spot on the shortlist for Best Sound at this year's upcoming Academy Awards®. We're joined by re-recording mixer and sound designer Steve Boeddeker, supervising sound editor Benny Burtt, re-recording mixer Brandon Proctor, and production sound mixer Chris Welcker to break down how they layered music, dialogue, and sound design to shape the film's mood, rhythm, and storytelling, including that incredible sequence conjuring musical spirits from the past and the future. “This comes back to Ryan being bold and taking big swings. From the effects standpoint, this was obviously a big music moment, so we were doing whatever we could to not mess it up. We started by being very specific with anything we cut, and anything we cut, we cut in rhythm with the music… And then Ryan really just wanted to be in Sammy's head, so it ended up being effects getting out of the way almost entirely, with just a few moments standing out.”—Benny Burtt, Supervising Sound Editor, “Sinners”Be sure to check out “Sinners,” now streaming on HBO Max, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

In years past there was more for us home theater fans but we still find some cool products that will eventually find their way into our homes. News: More than 60% of audiences use TV as primary streaming device Which sports will Netflix have in 2026? LG Key Highlights Return of the Wallpaper OLED TV (LG OLED evo W6) — LG revived its iconic ultra-thin "Wallpaper" design after a multi-year hiatus. The W6 is just 9mm thick, fully wireless (with a separate connection box up to 10 meters away), uses Hyper Radiant Color Technology for improved brightness and colors, and supports features like art display via Gallery+ service. It's marketed as reflection-free and significantly brighter than average OLEDs. New OLED Lineup — Including the brighter flagship G6 (up to 20% brighter than the G5 with Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 panels and reduced reflections), split C6 series (with varying tech tiers), and claims of the world's first TVs supporting 4K 120Hz cloud gaming with low-latency controllers. Micro RGB evo TV — LG's first flagship Mini-LED TV with Micro RGB technology for vastly expanded color range and brightness, available in large sizes including the "world's largest" Micro RGB LCD TV, the 130-inch R95H. Gallery TV — A direct competitor to Samsung's The Frame, with anti-glare screens and curated art modes (designed with museum input).

After winning the Cannes Jury Prize in 2025, “Sirât” has been added to the shortlist of potential nominees for Best Sound at this year's upcoming Academy Awards®, a rare achievement for an international feature film. We are delighted to welcome acclaimed filmmaker Óliver Laxe, sound designer & supervising sound editor Laia Casanovas, re-recording mixer Yasmina Praderas, and production sound mixer Amanda Villavieja to talk to us about how they crafted such an immersive and visceral track for this powerful film.“We wanted to make a genre film inspired by American cinema from the ‘70s…. I come from underground cinema, from documentary. I like reality. I'm quite an orthodox filmmaker. But we wanted to make a genre film. We wanted to make a popular film. We wanted to transcend the cinephile audience. So I was afraid. The proposition [from sound designer] Laia [Casanovas] was, ‘let's make a sound that was crispy. That you really feel it. We are having an experience in the cinema.' I like when you go to a theater and you feel with your body, with your skin. The images, the sound — that was the goal… I'm really happy because it's not just a film, thanks to the sound. It's a ceremony.”—Óliver Laxe, Director, Writer, Producer, “Sirât”Be sure to check out “Sirât” in Dolby Atmos®, where available. The film will be in theaters in New York and LA on Friday, February 6, followed by a nationwide rollout later in February.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

We dive into his journey from learning the craft from his father, to engineering the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Stadium Arcadium with Rick Rubin, to building his own Stratmosphere Studios. Ryan shares insights on Dolby Atmos mixes for artists like Noah Kahan, his meticulous work preserving the power and legacy of Oasis' iconic albums, and his experience seeing their long-awaited 2025 reunion tour at Wembley.“The idea was to honor the original mixes, note for note, as much as possible. We couldn't do electron for electron in the console, but close enough. But it has to be, it's just gotta be great. That's all there is to it. You know, I wasn't there. I don't know exactly how everything was done. But I've made enough records that I can listen to it intently for a long time, many times, and figure out how it was done. Some of the songs, some of the records, we had notes for. Which were very helpful. And others we didn't even have track sheets for.

Andy records as Maple Mountain Sunburst and has created two previous mixes for LLM and they are both excellent. You can find them here: http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2024/10/a-moon-full-of-stars-and-astral-cars-by.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2025/01/we-did-it-again-by-andy-mcneillmaple.html Andy has a new album out, under his own name, that is a little different from his other recordings. That new album is the inspiration for this new mix which is really something special. I'll let Andy tell you about it: "Mallets, gongs, tintinnabulations, things that go ping. Here we have a mix of percolating exotica to float away on for an hour. I've included three tracks from a recent collaboration with percussionist and fellow composer Bill Brennan. Our album Dreaming In Gamelan blends West Javanese gamelan traditions with contemporary ambient electronics. Recorded with traditional hand-forged bronze instruments, the tracks were then augmented and treated in the studio. Also joining us was the brilliant electric violinist and sonic explorer Hugh Marsh. The album was mixed for immersive Dolby Atmos by Ron Searles (Atmos version available on Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon)." https://lnk.to/dreamingingamelan https://brennanmcneill.bandcamp.com/album/dreaming-in-gamelan   Thanks to Andy for curating and mixing this great collection tracks.

In this solo episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei breaks down why loudness is part of the mix, not an afterthought for mastering. He explains why you should never send clients an unlimited mix as the main reference, even if a separate mastering engineer is involved, and why your job as a mixer is to deliver something that already feels like a finished record.DK talks through how to limit with intention, using loudness as an emotional dimension of the record instead of just cranking LUFS. He gets into the illusion of dynamics, sidechain feel, clipping, multiple limiters, and how different genres (jazz versus hyper-loud pop) demand different loudness philosophies. He also explains why mastering engineers would rather receive a well-intentioned, fully limited mix than an unintentional “safe” premaster that forces them to guess what you wanted.To close, DK rants a bit about Dolby Atmos and spatial audio: how strict loudness specs in Atmos remove an entire emotional dimension for music, why it makes sense for film and games, and why spatial formats are pushed in music mostly to sell headphones, not to make records sound better.What you will learn:Why you should always send clients a limited mix or “reference master”How to think about loudness as part of tone, impact, and emotionIllusion of dynamics, sidechain feel, clipping, and multi-stage limiting in loud mixesHow intentional rough mixes and stems reduce guesswork for mixers and mastering engineersWhy Atmos loudness standards remove a creative dimension for music and are better suited for film and TV SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.
