ABSTRACT
At a special media event that was attended by about 500 people, my good friend George Massenburg asked the crowd, “How many of you truly know the joys of surround-sound playback or production?” In that crowd, about 20 of us raised their hands. He then went about the business of playing back several world-class projects that most of the crowd was familiar with, and talking about the benefits of surround-sound music and audio-for-visual production (Figure 18.1). Right-on, George!
