October 1998

Jake Niceley: the first project I mixed for 5.1 was a concert for the band Orleans. Because it was live, I could take advantage of stage leakage and audience mics to help recreate the experience the audience might have had while watching the concert. And the band should appeal to consumers in their 30s and 40s, who probably make up the majority of home theater/surround sound system owners. It was a great experience; I really learned a lot about creating a sound field. Another project has been a studio album of guitarist Bill Mize for the DTS format.
