His recent Grammy win for Best Immersive Album with Peter Gabriel\u2019s i\/o is not just a well-deserved accolade, it is a major moment in the ongoing evolution of immersive audio. As a lifelong Peter Gabriel fan, I was already counting down the days until i\/o dropped. However, nothing prepared me for the depth and richness of the immersive mix. It is, without question, the best immersive mix I have ever experienced. It deserved that Grammy, and then some.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62965 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"780\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-scaled.webp 2048w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-1080x1080.webp 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-75x75.webp 75w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-270x270.webp 270w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-225x225.webp 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-170x170.webp 170w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-320x320.webp 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-770x770.webp 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-40x40.webp 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-18x18.webp 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-160x160.webp 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-540x540.webp 540w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-16x16.webp 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-606x606.webp 606w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-14x14.webp 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-340x340.webp 340w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-10x10.webp 10w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-640x640.webp 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-20x20.webp 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-9x9.webp 9w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-385x385.webp 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Peter-Gabriel-IO-1540x1540.webp 1540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><br \/>\nPeter Gabriel\u2019s i\/o is, quite simply, a masterpiece\u2014his first album of original material since Up (2002), and my favourite release of the last ten years. It proves, without question, that he remains at his creative peak. The concept is ambitious, with each of the twelve songs presented in multiple versions: the Bright-Side Mix by Mark &#8216;Spike&#8217; Stent, the Dark-Side Mix by Tchad Blake, and the In-Side Mix in Dolby Atmos, mixed by Hans-Martin Buff at Real World Studios. This immersive version is no afterthought. Gabriel gave Buff tremendous freedom to approach the songs with fresh perspective, and Buff didn\u2019t simply pan stems around. Instead, he crafted a new experience altogether\u2014one that feels built from the ground up to explore sound, space, and perception. The result is a truly multidimensional listening journey that reveals more with every play.<\/p>\n<h2>From Germany to the States: The Early Years<\/h2>\n<p>Hans-Martin\u2019s path into music was anything but conventional. Growing up in Germany, he had a love for pop music and played in high school bands, but originally, he had his sights set on journalism. When that didn\u2019t quite take off, he took a leap, heading to the United States to reconnect with friends. There, he discovered Music Tech, which later became McNally Smith, in Minneapolis, and something clicked. He had found his path. It wasn\u2019t just about learning to record music. It was about unlocking the tools to translate emotion into sound. That decision set him on a journey that led to studios, stages, and collaborators that most of us only dream about.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62966 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"569\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-150x117.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-80x62.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-320x249.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-289x225.jpg 289w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-218x170.jpg 218w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-192x150.jpg 192w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-40x31.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-160x125.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-20x16.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-640x499.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-18x14.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-436x340.jpg 436w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-13x10.jpg 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-385x300.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/hans-martin-buff-1-12x9.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><br \/>\nWorking with Prince: Creative Fireworks<\/h2>\n<p>One of those dream scenarios was working with Prince. Hans-Martin served as Prince\u2019s engineer for four intense and creatively relentless years in the late &#8217;90s. This wasn\u2019t your average session gig. Prince kept odd hours. Buff would wait for the pager to buzz, signalling that it was time to roll. \u201cIt was super intense,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019d often go until early morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those long hours taught him more than just technical endurance. He learned how to follow the emotional urgency of an artist, to shape sound in real time, and to adapt quickly to creative lightning strikes.

There, he collaborated with an impressive roster of European artists, from Zucchero to Tom Jones, and spent years working with the Scorpions. It was a chance to continue sharpening his creative and technical instincts, working across styles, genres, and generations.<\/p>\n<h2>From Mixing to Meaning: The Immersive Shift<\/h2>\n<p>Seven years ago, Hans-Martin had another career-defining moment when he heard a binaural rendering of a 5.1 mix. \u201cI thought, \u2018Wow, that\u2019s a game changer,\u2019\u201d he remembers. That experience sparked a new obsession, one that led him into the cutting edge of immersive audio.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what makes Hans truly special. He\u2019s not just remixing legacy albums for immersive formats. He is working on music that is conceived, performed, and recorded specifically with immersive in mind. While many are focused on retrofitting stereo albums into spatial environments, Hans is shaping soundscapes that are intended from the beginning to wrap around you, to move, to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>That mindset is exactly what made his work on i\/o so compelling. The immersive mix is not simply a spatial version of the stereo album. It is its own artistic statement, its own emotional journey. And that is what makes it such a triumph. Hans brings a rare blend of musical intelligence and technical mastery to these projects. He is a producer\u2019s producer, someone who understands harmony, dynamics, space, and narrative in equal measure. He doesn\u2019t just think in terms of channels and reverb tails. He thinks like a songwriter, like a fan, like someone who cares deeply about how music feels.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62969 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"462\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-scaled.png 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-1536x791.png 1536w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-2048x1054.png 2048w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-80x41.png 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-320x165.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-291x150.png 291w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-770x396.png 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-40x21.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-160x82.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-20x10.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-640x330.png 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-583x300.png 583w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-17x9.png 17w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-385x198.png 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.07.44\u202fPM-1540x793.png 1540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px\" \/><br \/>\nWorking with Peter Gabriel: A Dream Gig<\/h2>\n<p>So when Peter Gabriel came calling, thanks to a connection through Andreas Sennheiser, Hans was beyond thrilled. \u201cI was just a fanboy at that point,\u201d he laughs, recalling the moment he received an email from Gabriel himself.

Hans didn\u2019t just step up to the opportunity, he soared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeter didn\u2019t micromanage me,\u201d Buff recalls. \u201cHe focused on the emotional thread of the music.\u201d That level of trust gave Hans the freedom to explore, re-recording guitar parts, shaping spatial movement, and building a mix that takes full advantage of immersive technology without sacrificing heart.<br \/>\nGabriel made it clear. \u201cI don\u2019t care if it sounds anything like stereo as long as it\u2019s great.\u201d And that is exactly what Hans delivered.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62970 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-909x606.jpg 909w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-15x10.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-13x9.jpg 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sf051701-dEbWh27bIZlpfHtvESXuLJ7WDczyH2ue-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>The Process: Precision and Passion<\/h2>\n<p>Mixing i\/o was not a quick or straightforward process. It took nearly three months to complete, with some tracks demanding several days each to perfect. Even the more seemingly straightforward songs presented their own challenges. This wasn\u2019t about recreating the stereo mix in a bigger space, it was about crafting a new listening experience that could stand proudly on its own.<\/p>\n<p>The immersive version of \u201cPanopticon\u201d is a standout example. With added guitars and expertly layered spatial dynamics, the track becomes a living environment rather than a linear track. You don\u2019t just hear it, you inhabit it.<\/p>\n<h2>The Spirit of Collaboration<\/h2>\n<p>Despite his technical prowess, Hans-Martin is the first to say that it\u2019s not about the gear, it\u2019s about the people. He thrives in collaborative settings, bringing out the best in artists while respecting their vision. Whether it is the Scorpions, Prince, or Peter Gabriel, his strength lies in being able to meet them where they are and then take the sound somewhere new. He is also incredibly empathetic to today\u2019s musicians, who are often stretched thin trying to juggle performance, promotion, and production. \u201cYou have to be your own video editor, PR manager, and distribution system,\u201d he says. It is a far cry from the days when an artist could focus entirely on music. And it makes the role of a trusted collaborator like Hans more important than ever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62968 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"868\" height=\"455\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-scaled.png 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-1536x805.png 1536w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-2048x1073.png 2048w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-80x42.png 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-320x168.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-286x150.png 286w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-770x403.png 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-40x21.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-160x84.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-20x10.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-640x335.png 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-573x300.png 573w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-17x9.png 17w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-385x202.png 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-23-at-1.08.23\u202fPM-1540x807.png 1540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 868px) 100vw, 868px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter of Immersive<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hans-Martin is just getting started.
