5.1 Surround Sound Goodness

5.1 surround sound goodness twist the throttle

The bike comes flying on to the screen from stage left, the engine roaring, and in an instant the sound runs, swirling from right to left, from speaker to speaker in a rush of excitement… And it’s memorizing… captivating… and highly addictive… Because it’s the first time I’ve heard the 5.1 surround sound mix from a Twist The Throttle episode…

The last forty-eight hours have been an energizing experience even though I’ve been cooped up in the back of an audio post production room that’s tucked away on a side street in Burbank. It’s quite a thing to see the pictures come to life on yet another level. Quite a thing indeed…

Obviously I’ve been away from the blog for awhile, and frankly it’ll probably stay that way for a few more weeks as we rush towards final delivery. Long ago it seems that the days started blending together and time feels like an altogether strange beast at the moment; I honestly have no idea where it went, how much of it is left, or what exactly can be done in the brief bit that remains. Much of the past several months is just a blur. A glossy, glassy, confused mess that leaves me wondering where summer went. Yet as tired as I feel and as chaotic as the to-do list seems to be there’s also something quite magical when you sit back and hear the show in a way that you’ve never heard it before.

After such a lengthy and rushed cycle of rough cuts, fine cuts and mixing, it’s nice to finally feel like you’re coming out of the last corner and are finally able to see the finish line…
