In this week’s episode of the podcast, I sit down with two guests who have done the most amazing work on some of David Bowie’s most beloved albums, Ken Scott and Emre Ramazanoglu.

Ken is a legendary producer and audio engineer (who also appeared on Episodes 461 and 462), who aside from being one of the five main engineers for The Beatles, has also worked on some of the most notable albums by David Bowie, Elton John, Jeff Beck, Supertramp, and so many more.

Also featured is mix engineer and producer, Emre, who has a wealth of immersive mixing experience, especially in Atmos.

Together, we will be discussing Ken and Emre’s involvement in remastering some of David Bowie’s most iconic albums. We’ll also be touching on the importance of modernizing old recordings to fit contemporary standards, the pair’s innovative use of Atmos in their work, the technical difficulties that come with working with Atmos mixing, and what it was like to collaborate on such ambitious projects.
