Biggest session you've ever seen?
Just for fun, what is the biggest session you have ever seen in use? The most tracks, etc. I am curious what size pro sessions come in at.

Re: Biggest session you've ever seen?
An LA engineer friend once showed me a movie score at his commercial studio with several hundred tracks, auxes, busses and VCAs. They had huge monitors, like big screen televisions. I believe they eventually got cooked down to Dolby Atmos stems. Their sound field system was something out of a scifi movie - the speakers cost more than my house. Truly rocket surgery!

I worked on an immersive art installation. 45 minutes of music and sound design mixed into about 100+ speaker channels. The session used about 1200 voices.

Anyone here involved with the Las Vegas Sphere and/or media which has played there? Those must be interesting sessions.

I didn't work on the Sphere, but the immersive art installation I mentioned did use a Holoplot system.

Is Holoplot what they're using for the Sphere?

On one system?
Don't know for sure but multiple systems well over 2000.

Re: Biggest session you've ever seen?
Would you mind providing the specs of the computer you used to handle such a session?
