The company’s innovative Mix3 (pronounced “mix cubed”) software allows anyone to upload a tracks and mix them in a three-dimensional environment.

During the interview, we spoke about the most important speaker in a multi-speaker setup, the limitations of modern LP-style production, developing a streaming service way before one existed commercially, how perceptual codecs were created, and much more.On the intro I’ll take a look at unseen trends in streaming, and the Rhodes electric piano making a comeback. var podscribeEmbedVars = { epGuid: 'https://bobbyoinnercircle.com/?p=2886', rssUrl: 'https://bobbyoinnercircle.com/feed/podcast/', backgroundColor: 'white', font: undefined, fontColor: undefined, speakerFontColor: undefined, height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true, showTimestamps: true };
