Rush's September 1982 album Signals is being properly feted with a new 40th anniversary Super Deluxe Edition via UMe, and it's a spatially inclined box set that contains a stunning new 24-bit/48kHz Dolby Atmos mix of the core album by longtime Rush confidante and noted producer/engineer Richard Chycki on Blu-ray. In a recent Zoom interview, Chycki and I discuss his overall Atmos mixing M.O. for Signals, the one specific request from Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson that was honored in "Subdivisions," and why "Countdown" truly lifts off into the stratosphere in Atmos. (A longer version of this interview appears in my monthly Spatial Audio File column on the S&V site.) Mike Mettler: Tell me the philosophy behind your approach to the Signals Atmos mix. Richard Chycki: The label had said to me, "We want this mix to be true to the original," so I had to honor that. Now, you can hear there are a few little adjustments that were made. For example, Al's guitars for "Subdivisions" are a little bit more prevalent in the Atmos version. On everything I've done for Rush-any of the 5.1 mixes, or anything I've done for them in Atmos-Al's always wanted to have a little more googjh to his guitars on "Subdivisions." Overall, it's very accurate, and I've tried to stay true to the original.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
