Immersive audio insights: Katia Sochaczewska on listening beyond stereo
Katia Sochaczewska studied acoustic engineering in Krakow. It was there, during a late-stage project on immersive production, that her interest in what sits beyond traditional stereo really took hold. “The first time I heard immersive music done properly, I knew there was no way back. Once you hear how enveloping that third dimension can be, it’s very difficult to forget.”
