MEET THE FOCUS GROUP: Morten Lindberg is a Record

MEET THE FOCUS GROUP:
Morten Lindberg is a Recording Producer and Balance Engineer with 46 American GRAMMY-nominations, 38 of these in craft categories Best Engineered Album, Best Surround Sound Album, Best Immersive Audio Album and Producer of the Year. He is the founder and CEO of the record label 2L. As an early adopter of Auro-3D he developed the 2L-cube microphone array. The technique was later adopted as the 2L-prism towards Dolby Atmos environments. “The beauty of the recording arts is that there is no fixed formula and no blueprint. It all comes out of the music. Every project starts out by digging into the score and talking with the composer and the musicians. It is not necessarily our task as producers and engineers to try to re-create a concert situation with all its commercial limitations. On the contrary; we could make the ideal out of the recording medium and create the strongest illusion, the sonic experience that emotionally moves the listener to a better place”.
