5 out of 5 Bags 💰💰💰💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Alright family, if you're in the world of podcasting, home recording, or professional vocal tracking, you've probably heard the buzz around the Cloudlifter CL-1  from Cloud Microphones. As someone who's worked with everything from budget USB interfaces to high end studio racks, I was skeptical at first. Another "magic box" but after putting this blue beast through its paces with my Shure SM7B and a few ribbon mics, I can

The experience was an unexpected and incredibly impactful journey with the duo “Thunder & Lightning!” I’m grateful to have learned their story and enjoyed the fantastic Dolby Atmos.  🎧 Dolby Atmos   (The immersive balance, depth, panning, creativity and immersive experience the film holds.

Leaving the Freddy Fazbears at 1AM with a fear of flesh eating animatronics and a huge hope that there would be good ones that save my life. The Dolby Atmos for FNAF 2 consistently has you on edge in suspense with our blood pumping! I wasn’t familiar with the community of FNAF and that theater was PACKED OUT! Everyone felt the suspense and

3 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Wicked For Good Leaving the theater kind of felt like finding out the yellow brick road is just bricks. “Wicked: For Good” the 2025 highly anticipated masterpiece scores a 3 out of 5 bags for its not so wicked Dolby Atmos, let's talk about it! 🎧 Dolby Atmos  (The immersive balance, depth, panning, creativity and immersive experience the film holds.) The Dolby Atmos left me a bit puzzled. It felt extremely stereo front leani

Written by Jonathan Garcia and Danielle Starz Garcia  It's hard to believe we've already reached the final month of the year! November was packed with music, movies, and amazing collaborations. We're extremely proud of the fantastic projects we were involved in and are eager to tackle the upcoming month with even more energy! So, without further delay, let's dive into this month's favorites! Zootopia 2 This was without a doubt the top movie in Dolby this month! We didn't ant

5 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰💰💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Zootopia 2 Zootopia 2 is 5 out of 5 BAGS!!!  I’ts a crazy adventure, fun sequel, touching story, and has incredible animation AND the Dolby Atmos is out of this zoo! Lmfao. Let's talk about it!! 🎧 Dolby Atmos  The Dolby Atmos was outstanding! A job well done by the team. The attention to detail was A1. Slight panning following the main characters dialog to follow their positions on screen. The conversations that bounce

2 out of 5 Bags 💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Overview: I’ve been working with the Audient ORIA for quite some time now. The studio I am part of acquired one of these for our B room and I've been hands on for about a year with this interface. These are my genuine thoughts as a working professional that utilizes the need of a high quality multi channel audio interface and my experience with the Audient ORIA. The ORIA is a midtier beast. I wouldn’t make this the centerpiece

2 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Now You See Me: Now You Don’t I was leaving the magic show opening night of “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” as a long time fan of the franchise and magic lover since a youngin. It was fun seeing the story and cast come together for a similar but new mission. It’s comical (like dry funny lol) and the acting was good. I found the plot fun and creative. This story felt like a pass of the baton from the original Horsemen to our new

Written by Jonathan Garcia 4 out of 5 Bags 💰💰💰💰 This is a beautiful story showcasing the personal struggles and growth that creatives go through, even the greatest of us all. I didn’t know much about Bruce’s work other than “Born in the USA” and that’s because I grew up in western Pennsylvania and you would hear it everywhere. Leaving the theater, I became a fan of not only his music, but his story. I had to listen to some records before writing this and I came to noti

Written by Jonathan Garcia and Danielle Starz Garcia  Happy first day of November! This is a particularly special time of year! Halloween kicks off a series of fun and family/friend-oriented holidays. It's hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by. The weather has officially turned CHILLY, and the vibes have been spooky! October was an incredibly busy month filled with exciting music and movie releases, shows, and a variety of fun projects we were privileged to wor

Black Phone 2 is a heart pounding sequel and a must watch! Going on this new adventure with Finney and Gwen as they have to take on the Grabber for a second time but this time from another world. The acting is top notch and the story is great with amazing sound design by AudioAttack! The Dolby Atmos is underwhelming but has thri

Hats off to y’all, wow. This is a masterpiece for Dolby Atmos! The attention to detail and care that went into the Atmos is top tier. The acting and graphic design is amazing. But the music, soundFX, sound design, score and DOLBY ATMOS made this film unbelievable. Powerup and lets talk Dolby Atmo

2 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia A Big Bold Beautiful Journey Finishing up this interesting journey I'm shocked to give my first 2 bag review! The acting was good, but the energy in this movie overall felt strange. The story was pretty good and pretty fun. If you’re a fan of “Re-Zero” the anime, where you get thrown in the middle of a story with no background or context -- this is kind of that vibe. Let's enjoy the ride and let's talk about the big beautiful A
