Here is a site with some pictures of the yello/soundproof studio. http://www.bauton.com/howard/howardframesB.html
Well atleast they have a homecinema setup according to the text.
The LA studio is meant for Dieter's movie projects. That is why there are cinema equipments. Boris works in his Zurich studio, not in LA studio, right? I don't know if Boris has cinema sound in his studio at all. Does Boris mix music to stereo, and sound engineer (Kloiber?) at LA studio fits the music to cinema surround system? I don't know, but could be that case as well. Last January in my Boris 50th birthday greeting, I wished that Boris could mix the next album in cinema surround system. But perhaps that is not the reason for the delays in releasing the upcoming album. I wish it would have. There is a technical reason why Yello should move to DVD with cinema sound. If Yello CDs are going to be released with the new copy protection system, then it is bad. It means the CD has digital errors so severe that a CD-ROM device cannot handle them (the text "does not work in CD-ROM device" is familiar from a few recent CD releases). It also means the CD player has to have a good audio restoration algorithms, a standard digital error correction circuit is not enough. That means audiophiles have to find a good enough CD players. Have modern DVD players a good algorithms to play audio CDs as well, or are they designed to play DVD movies good and audio CDs (error-free audio CDs) only reasonable good? I don't know, and don't want spend my time in finding it out. The best would be to release albums as DVDs where the copy protection is not based on the introduction of the severe digital errors. In any case, I will create computer playable copies of my Yello albums because only computer offers advanced playing possibilities needed for close checking of Boris' sounds and patterns. Perfectly legal procedure. Best regards, Juhana
