Dear people of the four corners of the sound system, ^_^
Has anyone ever heard of, or contemplated the idea of creating an online streaming platform, or even digital radio, dedicated to surround music?
"Get with the program..."
Don't know if you've noticed, but these days people rely less and less on purchasing music, either in the form of physical media, or even digital media... I've heard on the radio not long ago, that the new way of "making your big break" in the music industry was to find a way to make it on a pre-assembled playlist that people can just "click on and enjoy", and go on with their busy lives (typidy type type type on ma sellfone ). Don't take this last bit personal if you're one of them..
I think most here are in a similar stance as I am, and would like surround music to reach a broader audience. I, for one, would like to hear even more genres and many more recent artists turn to the 5.1 format, and I think this could be a way, if not THE way to make this happen. And I was thinking with all the knowledge and passion found here, a lot of playlists could be created to get newbies to the format acquainted with the best mixes and music already available in surround.
Also, I recently found a way to upmix music that, to my ear, beats anything I've heard before out there, sound quality taken account for (ok, I haven't heard much... the Surround Master sure sounds like it's good for that), and I was wondering if there'd be a way to share the results with everyone out there who'd be interested, legally. Hence a streaming platform. Being a film score fan, and also a big fan of artists like Lady Gaga, P!nk, MisterWives, Coeur de Pirate, etc.., these new 5.1 versions I made could reach a whole new branch of listeners. btw, anyone here who's always dreamed of hearing this or that song in surround is welcomed to throw it at me for testing. Perhaps it's not the most discrete surround available, I must admit I focused on the soundtracks I have and when I threw pop music at it it sounded great as well, but when you don't have anything else, and that keeping pristine sound quality matters...
If anyone wonders, it's one setting, so far. A bit like Pro Logic would do: I somehow use the same principles. It's all done in Cubase, but if there'd be a way to turn this into a DSP for Foobar2000 for example, I think it could make a lot of people happy.
Any ideas most welcomed, even if it's to tell me I'm dreaming of an unattainable utopia.
Cheers!
