Miles Davis in 5.1

The DualDisc does not state how they acheived the ambient surround , fwiw.

But I would recommend it as it does present much more on the dvd than the SACD. This is one of perhaps a couple of titles I own of a fifties (59 ) recording enhanced with surround that has discernable ambience in the rear channels.

? The rear channels are louder on the DVD than the SACD?

Kind of Blue SACD 5.1 & DVD-V Dual Disc Rears were created by playing original recording in same studio as recorded on and mic'ing the ambience from rear.

With all due respect and deference to one of the most knowledgeable and informative folks here...
...that seems unlikely if CBS abandoned the building in 1982 and it was soon demolished. @:

What a coup if it truly was post-produced somehow.

The studio was an old church 100 x 100 x 100 feet.
Sketches of Spain with the big orchestra was made here as well.
Famous for many iconic recordings, including as recent as The Wall.

There's a three-year-old 74-page thread on SHF: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threa...-30th-street-studio-nyc-many-pictures.388186/

I read in a KOB themed book:
-They never cleaned the wood floors to keep the sound the same.
-The room had a three-second natural reverberation.
-There was an echo chamber in the basement made from a concrete storage room.

@Quad Linda- do you hear differences between the DVD and SACD ambience?
