Buying AirPods Pro 3 makes no sense in Europe. Apple’s best feature is blocked by the EU.

🎧 Live translation directly in your ears – talk in one language, hear another.
It’s already rolling out to users in the US and beyond.
But in the EU? Not available. Not even “coming soon.”

📍 Why?
Apple isn’t saying officially – but insider reports point to regulatory friction with the EU, especially around the Digital Markets Act and AI privacy concerns.
In short: Apple’s fight with Brussels now blocks real features from reaching EU users.

And here's the kicker: Live Translation doesn’t even need the new AirPods Pro 3. It’s a software update for:
- AirPods Pro 2
- AirPods 4
As long as you’re on iOS 26 with an iPhone 15 Pro or newer.

So if you live in the EU, you're paying full price — but getting fewer features (like better noise cancelling and heart rate monitoring)

Meanwhile, Google’s Pixel Buds? Already supports live translation in the EU.

🙄 It’s not the first time this happens: Apple Intelligence? Delayed in Europe
Now: AirPods Translation? Blocked again.

As someone working with sound daily, I love what the AirPods Pro 3 could do.
But right now? They make little sense in Europe, or what do you think?

🔍 Are you waiting it out – or switching to another gear?

So here’s the deal with those “easy” AI-dubbing solutions. They just don't work like you think.

I just finished bringing two VR experiences home for their German premieres — and it was anything but a copy-paste job.

For Eddie and I, we branched the entire audio pipeline. Every voice cue, is sync re-timed for German. Since timing and emotion shift with language, the FMOD integration had to be adopted.

For The Sad Story of the Little Mouse Who Wanted to Become Somebody, I ran three full mixes in parallel — English, German and even French — both in 7th-order Ambisonics. The hardest part: keeping emotional rhythm while matching exact duration across languages.

This all premiered live at the International Hofer Filmtage – under the theme “Stories that grow – worlds that open.”

The festival expanded into XR this year, embracing immersive storytelling where image, sound, and space merge into one intense experience.

Immersive sound doesn’t care about words. It cares about emotion.
And when done right, it connects across cultures — perfectly in sync.

Thanks to Reynard Films for the trust and creative freedom.
Immersive audio isn’t the future. It’s already multilingual.

Let’s be honest: most Dolby Atmos mixes sound weaker than their stereo versions.

Yeah, I said it.
Spatial audio is powerful – but in heavy music, it’s often a mismatch.
Unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

I’ve been working in immersive 3D audio for over a decade.
And while I love what Dolby Atmos can do, most metal mixes lose their punch, their energy, their glue – especially in complex environments like cars or cheap headphones.

So why even bother?

🎸 From Metallica’s 72 Seasons to Animals as Leaders, and the immersive beast that is “Changeling” by Tom Geldschläger – metal in Dolby is evolving.

I had the pleasure of contributing to this deep-dive by Horns Up, alongside other fantastic audio professionals like Shawn Dealey and Eric Horstmann.

💡My takeaway:
Spatial audio in metal works when it becomes part of the storytelling and production – not just stereo stems thrown into a 3D space because you can.

💬 What’s the most immersive (metal) song you’ve ever heard?

Kurze ASMR-Pause, dann das Prelude. Das System analysiert das Audio und erkennt den klassischen Stil des Klavierstücks. Ein neues Feature, auf das ich lange gewartet habe!

Wenn man 300 Jahre alte Musik in eine KI wirft, kommt nicht immer das Brauchbare raus, was man erwartet. Aber für das, was ich vorhabe, ist es vielleicht gar nicht schlecht. Music AI Generator free?

Spatial audio isn’t just tech — it’s how your mind decides what’s real. Apple's biggest learnings from its “Create immersive media experiences for visionOS” workshop.

Apple broke down how immersive video and spatial audio must work together to convince the brain it’s there. In real life, sound happens everywhere — your mind filters the noise. In immersive media, that filter is you, the mixer.

1. Every splash, every footstep, every breath — if it’s visible, it must sound right. If it doesn’t, the illusion collapses. That’s the first big learning: spatial audio exposes mistakes film could hide.

2. Silence no longer exists. Even background motion needs sonic logic — your mix is the invisible camera operator guiding attention. Especially within b-roll footage.

3. Timing. With dynamic head tracking, even millisecond errors feel wrong. Presence equals accuracy.

This workshop redefined what “mixing” means — not post-production, but world-building. You’re sculpting perception itself.

When it works, reality bends. You stop watching. You start living the story.

After Apple’s deep dive, one truth remains: spatial audio isn’t an effect. It’s the foundation of immersive storytelling.

What do you think, is sound as important as visuals for immersive video?!

Mit Suno AI schlechte Musik zu machen ist schwer. Alles klingt gut! Aber Bach versucht eine grandiose Komposition zu schaffen, die nicht sofort perfekt ist. Soundeffekte und Keyboard-Geklimper helfen, den unfertigen Prozess zu zeigen.

Dieser Song kommt bekannt vor? Es ist nicht nur Bach, sondern ein anderes Stück klingt ähnlich. Inspiration für Ave Marie! Ich brauche eine moderne, elektronische Variante für ein Hörspiel, das nach Weimar einleitet. Suno AI instrumental wird es!

Everybody acts like immersive tech is here just to entertain us — it can be used to solve real-world problems.

At Tonmeistertagung I presented two prototypes I've been working on.
1. a 3D-audio escape-room game,
2. a navigation app using a LiDAR scanner for blind users.

Both sounded great in theory. Both collapsed the moment real first-time users touched them.

I thought: more sound = more clarity.
Reality: people got lost immediately.
Birds, doors, water drops — too much for the brain to process. Even I couldn’t find the exit at times.

So I stripped everything down.

What actually worked:
– Clear cues only: left + right, close + far.
– No endless sound layers — if users have to “guess,” it fails.
– A tiny bit of visual help beats zero UI. Even a single line, not a map.

The hard truth:
Simple doesn’t mean boring.
Simple means usable.

We try to build perfect 3D worlds, but real users need to value — not just entertainment.
Accessibility isn’t about adding more. It’s about removing ego from design.

Tell me where you’ve seen sound solve something real in your life.

Bridgeton-Style und TikTok-Sound? Klingt erstmal komisch, könnte aber modern werden! Wir hören mal rein in diese Mischung aus Tanzmusik und klassischem Prelude. Eine Flöte ist etwas kitschig, aber die Percussion macht's aus. Hat fast was Spanisches. Mehr solcher Suno AI Prompts? Musik

Johann Sebastian Bach erhielt eine Einladung zu einem Wettbewerb gegen einen französischen Organisten in Dresden. Aber der Gegner trat nicht an! So gewann Bach, ohne spielen zu müssen. Klingt wie aus einem Videospiel, oder?
