In the last decade, while technology was throwing us audio creators 5.1, 7.1, and 10.1 sound systems to play with, the rest of the entire globe collectively yelled “Let’s get small!” - and mobile became king. Portability and convenience has trumped all other aspects of audio and video on tablets and phones – trampling resolution and clarity underfoot like so much Sonic Godzilla detritus. But don’t let the Low Res era of external mono speakers get you down – fight back! Freelance sound designer and composer, Korby Sears will show you how to get the most out of mobile audio, addressing frequency range considerations, composition choices, clever concatenation schemes, and mono AM transistor radio tricks from Phil Spector’s 1960s “Wall of Sound” era that are surprisingly now relevant again.
