Brian Eno is probably the musician, producer and artist who has had the single biggest influence on my music taste and enjoyment over the years. His work speaks for itself and needs no introduction !
So when I heard Emre Ramazanoglu talking on the Working Class Audio podcast about re-mixing and mastering many of Brian's classic albums for Dolby Atmos, my ears immediately pricked up. I just couldn't miss the chance to talk to him in more detail about working with Brian - and the amazing detective work that it involved.
So in this episode Emre and I take a deep dive into this fascinating subject, talking about things like:
- "Audio archeology" – the challenges of mixing Eno's older material, and the unexpected solutions Emre found
- How mixing for Eno is different from Emre's usual workflow, even with brand new releases
- The lessons Emre learned - and why this might be what makes Eno such a great producer
- New immersive strategies Emre developed specifically for these albums...
- ...and how they're helping his stereo mixing as well !
