Hey, we’ve got the site up and running proper and we could use manuals that you’ve personally scanned, articles you’ve written, old ads having to do with Multi-Channel, Quadraphonic brochures, whatever. I’m still trying to figure out what to do with it, what can be done and posted with certain material and how much effort to put into it as I am involved with other projects. You can send stuff and we will figure out how it could be used. I would also encourage others to collect these manuals as well so they’re not all in one place. The internet is an amazing place, but items and information do go away, never to found again.
The idea here is folks over the years have looked for manuals that have been OOP for more than 35 years or more at QQ and many members have been generous to scan something and send it to another member. Years go by and someone else asks for the same thing again, but something may or may not be available. This already happened with one thread at QQ here.
So if we can keep everything in one place where we can direct folks, we should be good. We also should open this up for free manuals on how one can create various discs. We seem to answer the same questions again and there are still many things I’d like to know proper, such as creating the DVD-V section of a DVD-A disc. I know there are many approaches and tools to create discs. So perhaps if we could direct someone to the proper PDF info, we could then better spend our time helping guide folks through the steps and the bugs and mishaps that happen along the way. I’d also like to have a page of info for “upmixing” as well, so no one in the surround community will be left out. It’s also possible to perhaps put up survey’s to prove how much interest there is in re-releasing a MC title. We’ll see. The record companies should be doing that sort of work.
It’s also possible a page or section for original new music or other titles for sale might be done in the future. Would I like to possibly make money with the site? Perhaps, if something new and creative could be done to promote surround sound. But we don’t want to make it at the expense of anyone or anything and keep information free. I also hate going to websites with their spyware ADs that won’t load and websites that look cluttered and crappy. I also want to use the site to advocate for more Multi-Channel releases as well and we could write articles to help promote MC. Also, why not share one’s experience with Quad, past or present, whatever. I certainly do not wish to duplicate or compete with whatever’s already out there. Anyway, this is a work in progress; here are some guidelines of sorts for submitting material. Any idea’s, suggestions or whatever feel free to speak up or send e-mail.
If you find manuals already scanned, whether old or new relating to Multi-Channel send us the links and we’ll just link in a fair manor to the other site. We will however still DL manuals as you never know when a site will go down and therefore the need to repost. It’s best not to send manuals that someone scanned for sale on eBay. They did the work, so I can see their right to sell it there. However, we have the right to scan our own manuals and post for free.
Professional printing is done at 300 dpi at the very least (I’ve published 2 Comic Books). It would be nice to save at that and higher resolutions for PDF, but I’m not sure. I’m just learning Acrobat Pro, so I like the idea of the highest resolution without the files being too big. But with unlimited bandwidth and storage space, these issues should not be a big deal and yet we should be mindful of such issues. Any info here would be helpful. Thanks.
