Migrating an immersive audio workflow from film post-production—where everything is controlled and can be handled offline—to a live show, where latency, synchronization, and fault tolerance are non-negotiable, is not simply a matter of “switching cables.” 

In this session, Carlos Cortés Navarrete, Oscar winner for *Sound of Metal*, and Ricardo Lavalle draw on their own live electronic music project to discuss the real challenges they faced when applying their experience in film sound to a real-time network-based delivery context: what broke first, which design decisions they had to reevaluate, and what criteria they use today to determine when the complexity of AoIP is justified compared to a traditional workflow. 

A discussion designed for those who design or integrate live audio systems and need not only to understand these decisions in theory, but also to justify them to a client.
