About the Session
On the basis of recent live productions, Erik Loots takes you inside the world of immersive sound design for live shows. In this hands-on session, he will guide you step by step through the process of building an immersive mix using TiMax and the SoundHub Processor.
Working with his own multitrack recordings from real shows, Erik demonstrates how to translate a traditional mix into a fully spatial experience — revealing practical workflows, creative techniques, and critical decision points along the way.
Beyond the tools, this session focuses on what truly makes immersive audio work in a live environment: the do’s and don’ts, common pitfalls, and how to think differently about space, movement, and audience perception.
You will leave with a clear understanding of the differences between immersive, surround, spatial, and object-based mixing — and how to apply these concepts in your own productions.
