He is best known for his work with the Beach Boys during the early 1970s and for inventing the Spatializer.  The Spatializer is an audio effect which employs psychoacoustic techniques that emulate three-dimensional ambience via traditional stereophonic units, and can be heard in the Bonnie Raitt album "Longing in Their Hearts" (1994). Bruce Robert Jackson (3 June 1949 – 29 January 2011) was an Australian audio engineer who co-founded JANDS, an Australian audio, lighting and staging company.  He joined American touring audio engineer Roy Clair and mixed concert stage monitors for Elvis Presley in the 1970s.  With Clair Brothers, a concert sound company, Jackson designed audio electronics including a custom mixing console.  Beginning in 1978, Jackson toured as Bruce Springsteen's band engineer for a decade, using Clair Brothers sound systems.  A business interest in Fairlight CMI in Sydney introduced Jackson to digital audio, and he subsequently founded the digital audio company Apogee Electronics in Santa Monica, California, where he lived at the time.  After selling his share of Apogee, Jackson co-founded with Roy and Gene Clair a joint venture which produced the Clair iO, a loudspeaker management system for control of complex concert sound systems.  Jackson turned the venture commercial with the help of Dave McGrath's Lake Technology.  Dolby Laboratories bought the technology and formed Dolby Lake with Jackson as vice president, then in 2009 Lab.gruppen acquired the brand.  Jackson was honoured with the Parnelli Innovator Award in 2005 for his inventive loudspeaker controller. An audio engineer (also sometimes recording engineer or a vocal engineer) works on the recording, manipulating the record using equalization and electronic effects, mixing, reproduction, and reinforcement of sound.  Audio engineers work on the "...technical aspect of recording—the placing of microphones, pre-amp knobs, the setting of levels.  The physical recording of any project is done by an engineer ... the nuts and bolts."  Many audio engineers creatively use technologies to produce sound for film, radio, television, music, and video games.  Audio engineers also set up, sound check and do live sound mixing using an audio console and a sound reinforcement system for music concerts, theatre, sports games and corporate events.
