Santa Monica, CA (February 5, 2024)—Mix Magazine and its parent company, Future Publishing, have announced the speaker lineup for Mix LA: Immersive Music Production, an all-day event to be held March 2, 2024, at Host Partner Universal Music Group’s recently refurbished recording facilities, 21fifteen Studios, in Santa Monica.
“We have an amazing collection of mixing engineers lined up to talk about immersive music,” said Mix co-editor Tom Kenny. “We have multi-Grammy winners, and we have extremely talented up-and-comers. We have some who rely primarily on headphones and binaural, and others with stunning-sounding 9.1.6 rooms, designed professionally from the ground up. That’s where immersive music is at right now, and there’s a need for education on immersive audio across all levels of professional audio. These talented mixers come out to a studio, on a Saturday, to educate the audience. We are extremely grateful, for both their talent and their generosity.”
