Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

@kota1 I got a few things wrong in my old age it was the 70th Oscars, and Paul McCartney and Sting sang at the 2002 Oscars for Pearl Harbor. That was also a great night because it was at the brand new Dolby Theater, we had to go through a lot of security because of 911 happening earlier. Celine Dion was perfect as usual the sound at the show was really good but it had to be quiet because of the broadcast of course.

Halle Berry presented the sound award and Black Hawk Down won with caned helicopters and looped dialog but whatever, seems like I would get over it. Halle Berry is very nice I was lucky enough to work with her on a TV series called Extant. Here is an funny story, the Director of Photography on CSI Miami would always yell out to one of his guys get me a "Halle Berry", when we finally figured out what that was it was a cup of coffee that had as much cream to have the same complexion as Halle Berry. Well there I was years later at craft service getting a cup of coffee with Halle Berry talking about Disneyland I think, I was pouring some cream in my coffee and looked up at her down at my coffee and back up at her beautiful face and just laughed to myself thinking how did this actually happen.

So the guy keeps saying, "Get me a Halle Berry" and the next think you know, you GOT Halle Berry on a show and over coffee.

Lesson learned! Ask for the order and see what happens. Next step:

Get me a _____________!, then put it on a loop and repeat.

She is a wonderful woman and I would never want to say anything bad or embarrassing about her. It was just an ironic moment and something I think of often when I put cream in coffee.

Just yesterday I said ok to remix a movie in my studio here in Idaho. I said no at first but thought ok I may as well jump in. I could write a book about production sound on set but I'm no expert in post mixing, I have about 5 months to learn all I can. An old friend hired me and I really don't want to let him down. I guess all I'm saying is I better get my system up and running first class, and I've got a lot of learning to do. The mix will be in ATMOS 5.1

Having a deadline will help you take it up a notch. If you want to swing by The Dub Stage in Burbank I'm happy to make an introduction to Marti, he was really helpful with advice for setting up my room:

@kota1 Thank you that is really kind.

I think I need to do something really good that may mean doing the job in an unorthodox way who wants normal anyway. I do think my system needs to be as standard as possible I just want to do something special by the way I use the system, hopefully. I think I'll have to hang speakers in my room it will look awful, oh well.
