Next - a profile and history of studio acoustic treatment manufacturer GIK Acoustics as they turned 20 years old. GIK started as one guy in his garage in Atlanta making panels to sell on eBay and has grown into a multinational household name in the studio industry.

Next up, a feature about urban music producer extraordinaire Aaron Mattes - and his scramble to rig up a Dolby Atmos system on a budget and at short notice at Six 1 Seven Studios in North Hollywood. This was for Kali Audio who ended up supplying the monitors for him.
