ABSTRACT
Our readers understand that sound and dialogue effects are created, not simply recorded for fiction films. It is the readers who will provide the most fertile ground of discussion by writing in with readers' ideas, questions, gripes, and comments.

High-end movie sound was exhibited in theaters around the world, even if most of the splashier tracks originated in California. Demand for quality had recently become an international phenomenon. A Danish reader shared his enthusiasm for the wave of interest in home theater sound, writing to mention his own journal: “I started Laserdisken in 1984 and was the first to bring surround sound to Denmark, in 1986”.
