I didn't at first, but I was converted over the course of the show, particularly during the breakout sessions. Ronald Prent's mix was massive and not at all gimicky, which is something that I can't say for some of the early surround mixes I have heard.
I think the guys on the surround panel are beginning to articulate a "vocabulary" of very musical approaches to surround. While there have been snags in market acceptance, I believe it is only a matter of time, perhaps as much as several years. In the interim, I admire the committment of the guys on this panel to mix in surround until the rest of the world catches up.
