Pro Tools: Bus & Group Compression Avid Pro Tools Tips & Techniques Screen 1: The green fader works like a group fader on a traditional analogue mixer, controlling the levels of all the channels that are being fed through it. The light blue fader on the right is a VCA fader: it doesn’t actually pass audio, it simply tells the faders within the group what level they should be.

Clearly fate took an ironic opportunity to intervene shortly before we had a chance to talk to him about both the new album and his approach to creativity more broadly: an earthquake shook Iceland right before this interview took place, prompting Ólafur’s opening exclamation of, “There’s a lot of energy in my body right now!” That’s true, of course, for all sorts of reasons.

January 14th, 2021 At CES 2019, Sony had a glass room in its massive trade show booth. In the middle of the space was a small table with a single speaker resting on top. At first glance, I could tell the device had multiple drivers, as three were clearly visible from the top. What came next was my first demonstration of Sony’s 360 Reality Audio -- immersive, room-filling sound from a single speaker. Two years later, the company introduced that unit as the SRS-RA5000: one of two Sony connected...
