Ray deserves a moment of silence.
Guess she blinded him with science.
And, yes, I know he wasn’t that Dolby.
I used Dolby products for years in my earlier bands for compression/limiting/noise reduction. This was way before he developed his surround sound system that anyone reading this has probably experienced.
Some swear by DTS having a better sound; others swear by Dolby. It's pretty much a toss up for me, especially now with Blue-Ray.
RIP, Mr. Dolby. You made my bands/vocals sound much better and got me some good gigs and let me sing into the mic without having to move it in and out from my face for volumn control. Also Sir, I had one of your units on my electronic drum kits that balanced the sound levels and when I hit a hard note on a drum, it didn't wake up my wife or neighbors. Thank you for your vision.

Dolby made cassette tapes listenable. For the youngsters amongst us, that was the audio media between LP Vinyl Records and CDs. [NO I AM NOT GOING THERE - 8 Tracks Yechhh!]
I did see a car with a built-in record player ONCE, not sure why.
RIP.
