Recently, I mixed two full length albums for a client in full surround. The mixing itself was fun and creative and a process that is easy for me to do. It is the encoding and formatting that can really trip you up though. From hires DVD-A or Video DVD-V there is plenty of reasons behind each that will make you choose which to go with. And some are so hidden, even the makers of my Dolby Encoding software were not aware of certain constraints which forced me to change formats mid project and update them on the limitations. I am happy to say though, I have the formula to make Surround Project go smoothly and efficient whether movies, concerts or albums.
