Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It


100% of music listeners prefer live music to recorded playback, why? A live performance "immerses" you and frees you up to move around the room, the dance floor and still be immersed. The goal posts have moved away from two speakers to an array of speakers all around as well as above you to reproduce the illusion of a LIVE performance. Why, in 2023, would anyone voluntarily use only two speakers to recreate this illusion of a live performance in a large room?

Even the artists themselves are using immersive audio in concert to WOW their audience, why not do it at home:

As for my preferences in ’23:

Pat Metheny Live
Capathia Jenkins Live
StillHouse Junkies Live
Keb’ Mo’ Studio
Boz Scaggs Studio
John Primer Studio

A wash. I reject the premise over by here.

Pink Floyd started performing live surround in 1967
Quad instead of multi transducer mono like today.

It’s OK to love Atmos. You can keep it.

Live OR canned it's about the performances to me.
