    S5.E26: Christopher Cross in Atmos Spatial, with J Clark

    Courtesy of our friends at Seeker Music, John and Tom got a sneak preview of the August 1 release of the original Christopher Cross album, remixed in Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. The guys are joined by engineer, mixer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist J Clark of Infrasonic Sound, who walks us through the process, techniques and intended outcomes of remixing a timeless masterpiece for modern audial technology. Celebrating the 45th anniversary of Christopher Cross’s critically acclaimed eponymous debut album, Seeker Music has actually released two new versions of the album on streaming: this Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio version mixed by J Clark, and a remastered version by world renowned mastering engineer, Bernie Grundman.  Check them both out at https://seeker.fm/christophercross.
