Has anyone seen a disc which has 5.1 tracks but all in the front stage. I think it would be awesome to have tracks for the various areas of the stage each with its own performer. It would be very convincing.
Been doin' it for several years. We took 4 ch (recorded on CROWN CX844s analog) converted to digital and assigned them to the 4 channels of a dts disc, using a dts-encoding program. The soundstage was accurate. The imaging was correct.
That is why my 4-ch inline reproduces the correct image....that's the way the band was recorded. Mostly big bands and classical. The sections, the rhythm, the soloist are all sonically where they actually were in real life. This is not a big deal to do. Good machine. Good mics. Some know-how. Lots of time and energy.
