I've know the person who runs the LA office for IOSONO for a long time... they used to have their only system in the US installed on my old mixing stage (which doesn't exist anymore). We are in the process of installing one of their new systems in another one of our mixing stages... I hope to master a film for them this year... just looking for the right project. They are really close to getting a film into that theater...
Link to their site
Very few true discrete mixes... almost all were/are being done by Mi Casa, and since New Line is no more, the only consistent client they are doing them for is Lionsgate...
There are few in the film sound industry that feel it is a worthwhile investment frankly.
I don't see it becoming the norm in the near future...
That being said, I just finished helping on a show for HBO, and they are considering doing 7.1's for BR... if we do it, we'll do it right.
I've said it in public before, so it's no secret.. I get my Denon gear from them directly at their accommodation pricing. It's an industry perk.
That wouldn't surprise me.. just wanted to throw my .02 in.
Wow! Marc, you just made my day! I'm so happy to see you back, and a gave us some very cool answers.
Truly, sincerely, Thank You Very Much.
Marc, why don't you post more often here at Audioholics?
OK, don't answer that, I know.
Still, there is a good number of people with great knowledge and fast and smart minds too, like me for example.
But you already knew that, right.
Anyway, I would love to see you a bit more, perhaps, just to spice up the minds of few, that'll be a very needed ingredient.
I feel so good right now, that I just don't wanna talk about anything but happyness and IOSONO, of course. And you know what too Marc?
THere is a bunch (well, at least few) people here that don't believe what I'm telling them, and they even ....
Well, I'm having some rough times some days, because of wrong judgements or ignorance from some people. I'm sure you do undserstand what I'm saying.
I advanced a lot since my beginning at AVS. I was ejected, because I didn'y know that you can tell a person to get lost on your PM!
That's what I did, I told a guy that was discreminating me on about a dozen posts, because my being French and making spelling faults.
So, I exploded, PM him, ald told him to get lost and shove it.
He then fabricated more bad words from that PM, and show it to the administrator. Few minutes later, I was banned for life!
Talk about some gross injustice.
I thought to myself then, Ok Bob, let's be very cool here. I e-mail the administrator, and told him that I apologise and would love to apologise to the guy directly, and I really meant it with all my heart too.
His answer: No bad mouthing about other members! And he's the one that discreminated me!!!
Then, I said to myself, well Bob, if it's that way, it's not a good plce for you.
And I pack my bags to somewhere else, here.
I don't know Marc, but I do miss a few very good people from overthere, just like you Marc buddy. You know that I love you Marc, do you?
I miss Kal, Larry, Garry, Chris, Bob Pariseau, Phantom, Smart-pants, Jeff, Mark (Giomania), and about 50 more approximatively. Plus I miss the thousands og help that I provided to a lot of young and old people. My PM box was always full of compliments and Thanks.
Yep, I did quite bit of travel since then, and I learn a lot in the process, but the biggest thing that I learned Marc, is CONFIDENCE in myself. And that, is true power, that nobody can take away from you. That is pure true Audio Nirvana, that resides deep down in your SOUL.
Best regards,
Bob
