A few weeks back we had the great pleasure of talking with the dynamic duo of THX: CEO Jason Fiber and Director of Product Development Kasson Crooker.
Jason Fiber has worn many hats, done many things in the alternative and underground music scene, and now heads up one of the biggest names in audio visual technology.
The insanely dynamic and prolific Kasson Crooker is an electronic music artist, video game music composer, video game developer, sound designer, and music producer, with many games and music releases to his credit.
In this episode, we talk THX Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos, and immersive audio with Jason and Kasson. We discuss the state of the art and future of these technologies. We talk with Kasson about production and his myriad works. We talk to Jason about his path through the music scene and industry in Los Angeles up to his current role, and trade some stories along the way.
We had a great time with these two, and hope you enjoy it!
