Well, Revolver in surround would be awesome. Tomorrow Never Knows could be epic.anyone that's a regular over on the SH forum here any buzz about this?
Sure hope this is a sneaky legit outing and not Ryan just being wishful about it.
for those not sure what we're talking about here, rtbluray will often change his avatar to an upcoming surround release.
I think we've already gotten into "this belongs in its own thread" territory here (maybe a mod could oblige . . . is @rtbluray available?), but I think this might be the thread you're looking for, Pup--sort of:anyone that's a regular over on the SH forum hear any buzz about this?

Interesting about Abbey Road studios and demixing. That's big time. Didn't realize there was a complete service like that. Bet it cost some real money.
Now that I've watched that Stones de-mix from mono utilizing stem separation, a few thoughts to chew on.
Done
From what I read concerning the recent Beach Boys New stereo remixes, the software that's used cost less than $700
Where did you watch this, Pupster?
Eric Records' people have been doing this for almost 10 years. The results have been variable and generally directly proportional to the sound quality of the source. Green Onions, done in 2013, is magnificent especially when upmixed to quad using the Surround Master. Extremely clean, and if one didn't know better, one would think it was taken from a true stereo source. On the other hand, the digitally extracted stereo (DES) remixes of singles originally recorded utilizing Phil Spector's Wall Of Mud have been awful.
Actually no re: the 'real money' part. Just real work by one guy. But probably because he did the work while employed at Abbey Road they own the intellectual copyright.

Or maybe you mean Abbey Road charge some real money for the service. That wouldn't surprise me
James Clarke was just an experienced software developer who started at Abbey Road as a business analyst and after hearing engineers at Abbey Road say that de-mix technology didn't exist, was the holy grail and couldn't be done he just started experimenting and came up with a working process.
He talks about all that in this interview
He also talks about other projects his de-mix process has been used on including Hollywood Bowl, A Hard Day's Night movie, 1+, Sgt. Pepper, the White Album, Bowie's Life on Mars and Rush 2112 - The Live Concert.
I like all four of the producers involved in that production! (Half of whom have gone on to do surround mixing.) Presumably "CD-i" isn't playable on anything that's still in service, but I wonder if the Mac or Windows versions of the release are?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_World_Order^^^
The interactive version included the ability to alter the playback of the music by selecting a pre-determined sequence by either Rundgren or one of his four guest producers
Maybe this type of thing is the next step - provide the de-mixed/separated music content in separate data files and the listener does a (re)mix at playback time - if the listener wants the lead vocals placed overhead, between LB and RB (I don't know the correct name for these channels) and the backing vocals rotating counterclockwise in floor level speakers in a 7.1.4 system, they can do their own mix and do that.
