    LOS ANGELES --

    Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc. (Deluxe) announced that award-winning sound professional Steve Foster has joined Deluxe Toronto as a sr. re-recording mixer. With a musican’s ear for audio and more than 25 years in the sound industry, Foster is slated to take on his first project at Deluxe Toronto–the second season of SyFy’s series The Expanse.

    Foster comes to Deluxe Toronto from Techicolor Toronto, formerly Toronto’s Sounds Interchange, where he helped establish the long-form audio and ADR departments, and wrote the score for 90s thriller Killer Image.ย”His credits include Narcos, Rolling Stones: At the Max, and the Hannibal TV series. He earned a Gemini Award for Dramatic Sound on Everest, a Genie Award for Overall Sound on Passchendaele, and four Motion Picture Sound Editor Golden Reels for sound editing and ADR for various episodics, among nearly a dozen other awards nominations. 

    “Steve is one of the top mixers in town and adding him to our roster of talent alongside Chris Cooke and Mike Baskerville gives us a one-two-three punch to make sure clients can always find what they need at Deluxe Toronto,” said Nick Iannelli, Deluxe Toronto SVP of post production. 

    Along with growing its team, Deluxe Toronto has also extended its capabilities, adding a new Dolby Atmos mixing theater geared toward episodic production to its facility. It features equipment and layout identical to the studio’s existing three episodic sound theaters, allowing for consistent and flexible review sessions for all of the 10-12 projects simultaneously flowing through Deluxe Toronto. The facility also houses an enormous theatrical mix theater with 36-channel Dolby Atmos sound, and a sound stage for ADR recording.

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products โ€” even beyond search โ€” that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
