Yep - I've got a few QS-encoded discs - just wondering if any actual Involve-encoded discs are out yet.
thanks, John R

Hi Gang
There are lots of nearly starters but no actual material yet. We have the encoders and it would be a real novelty. There is interest in a movie also at the moment.
I really want this to happen soon! Any links, suggestions would be appreciated.

OK Chuckie - how about Alan Parson's quad mix of Dark Side of the Moon? (Legal??) I'd love to hear the Involve treatment of that one.
What would be the difference between "involve encoding" verses Sansui QS, or QS vario matrix ?
also would there be a difference in encoding with SQ ? That is if you utilize "involve SQ encoding ?

For those of you not aware of the ever increasing matrix encoded cds...

This link contains many available quad cds and some recently discovered.If you haven't checked out the numerous posts and lists of quads and pics, you owe yourself a favour.

I very much doubt that Chucky is proposing to encode anything in SQ or QS!

Presumably you’re looking for discrete 4Ch material to encode Chucky (rather than 2Ch material already encoded using other formats or straight stereo material - both of which would equally benefit from simply just using Involve decoding for playback)?

nope. this must be licensed from copyright holder, before to be used for distribution by anyone else.
best bet is Google search for royalty/license free audio.
i do have copy of DTS CD distributed in past freely by canadian band from Nova Scotia if that will serve purpose. but it's DTS, mean lossy.
other way is to ask directly artists, who has surround releases, for source audio and permission.

Dear All
In fact secretly here at Involve we use (internal use only!!!!!) the Alan Parsons remix of Darks Side as one of our reference CD's where we recorded the discrete DVD audio that he leaked. Now EMI have released a blueray with it. We would have to get permission from EMI to record it. I have tried contacting them and found no front door- no reply (you get that a lot).
In regard to the comparison to an SQ recording, Involve will sound identical to the QS encode but the difference is the stereo mix will sound identical to stereo. QS produces a compressed stereo image.

So your "involve encode" is not SQ , but somewhat similar to "Regular Matrix" I'm guessing.

Hi Fizzywigs42
Involve encode is definitely not related to SQ, it is closer in its core to QS but the differences are that it is in fact a variable parameter encode matrix. The matrix parameters are continuously varied to match the nature of the stereo/ surround content, psychoacoustic weightings and the amount of surround content at any instant . This is also a 3 band system. That's all I can reveal but it is covered by our patents.
Suffice to say that the end result is the stereo mix sounds like stereo and the surround decode sounds like surround!
