    Let's Talk Dolby Atmos and the Neve Genesys G3D

    Frostline Studios' audio control room recently got a complete makeover with the installation of a brand new Neve Genesys G3D console – the world’s first mixing console with object-based hardware and software, which allows analog signal to be mixed directly from the console’s surface in three-dimensional Dolby Atmos surround sound. In the course of installing the Neve Genesys G3D, we discovered that not only is this model the world’s first with these capabilities, but that the specific console we have in our control room is the very first of its kind to be shipped from the Neve factory. In our latest episode of Hold For Sound, Mantha talks with Senior Audio Engineer, Derek Haukaas, and Frostline Studios’ Founder, Richard Cooper, all about the new Neve console: what it is, why we chose it, and what the install process was like.
