Dvd-cd

[Bladeso]

I know that the in A coma will have a dvd with it. my question is will the cd be a dual disc with dvd on the other side? If not would you pay for that feature if some of the older cds were to come back in dolby 5.5?

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

Something with those little hidden sounds, ie. Avalanche or AOB, but the others wouldn't be worth it.

[saturnine]

5.5? don't think you need 5 LFE channels, but ok..

 

only certain cds would be enhanced by 5.1 tracks.. matthew good exluded.

[Hyphnip]

I agree with the statement that only Avalanche or AOB would benefit from that. There are some CD's that just don't need it. Seriously, who REALLY needs to hear Back In Black in 5.1?

[saturnine]

i have 4 cds in 5.1 and i think they all benefit from it. then again, i only have four, so that has to say something about necessity, i suppose.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

What 4? Because in the case of MG(B) I can't see music like WLRRR or Underdogs making much a difference. But then I have some surround CDs but have no means of using them, so who am I to say? The Rat Who Would be King that's who.

[NationofCool]

how does the 5.5 sound differ from 5.1??

(im not trying to be sarcastic. i really dont know)

[saturnine]

5.5 doesn't exist. surround sound comes in either 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1, or 9.2. but there aren't even any formats capable of doing 7.1 - 9.2 discretely, and only a handful that do 6.1. everything above 6.1 is merely simulated.

 

as for the surround cds i have, the best is dark side of the moon. i also have nine inch nails' the downward spiral and with teeth as well as david bowie's heathen. obviously the nine inch nails cds add to the whole effect with 5.1

I figured they would. I bought TDS in surround anticipating to one day own a proper system for it.

[saturnine]

it's awesome. you hear sounds you never heard before.

[RicardoObviouso]

correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't avalanche recorded in 5.1?

[ChadyzGroove]

correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't avalanche recorded in 5.1?

i know avalanche the song was i dont know about the whole album, maybe it will show up on the dvd

[uglyredhonda]

You can't really record something "to 5.1". 5.1 is just a type of mix.

 

Albums are recorded in multi-track format. For example, most major-label albums in the 90s were recorded to 48-track. With systems like ProTools, the number of tracks is nearly limitless. You can mix those tracks into any x.x you want. You can even mix 4-track recordings into 5.1 with sound effects and processing (though it usually sounds like shit).

 

So, yeah, it'd be possible to mix Avalanche into 5.1. No problem. Whether it's already been done or not is the better question.

wait a second.. AoB and Avalanche have things on the other sideo f th discs? ;)

yeah, just the song.

 

 

 

 

 

cds cant be re-played in true 5.1, only dvds.

[saturnine]

not entirely true. a super audio cd can be played in discrete 5.1

[RicardoObviouso]

yeah, and thats basically a dvd with no picture.

[saturnine]

basically a dvd.. but a cd.
