“ORIA is great for me in so many ways” ~ Max Oude Weernink

 

 

Since ORIA arrived, Max really hasn’t looked back. “I am so happy to finally be able to check if a track in Dolby Atmos is right! Before, my tracks were sent in Dolby Atmos but I wouldn’t be able to listen to them without travelling 50+km to someone else’s studio! ORIA is great for me in so many ways.”

Max – aka MOW Music – is responsible for a multitude of chart-topping records worldwide. His keen ear and cutting-edge productions with the likes of Tiësto, Gucci Mane, Yellow Claw, Ty Dolla Sign, Tyga, DJ Mustard, DIPLO, Afrojack, Lil Xan and Imanbek have amassed over 2.000.000.000 Spotify streams.

 

 

“I realised that what Audient has here is the whole solution”

 

 

He had been looking for a way to experiment with Dolby Atmos for a while, but the costs had been prohibitive. “I did see producers making it possible for themselves, but I still didn’t believe that it should cost so much. The speakers they’re using, the converters – every element was expensive.”

Discovering ORIA, the audio interface and monitor controller was the turning point. “I realised that what Audient has here is the whole solution. This saves me all the money I need to save and now I can actually try Dolby Atmos for myself!”
