I felt the need to do a bit of ranting after what happened tonight.
I landed a DTS conversion of Earth Wind and Fire's "Spirit" from a Q8. One of my all time favorite albums and a quad title I've been searching out for quite some time.
So when I went to listen to it, I found that the front and rear channels were totally out of sync. And it wasn't a linear error, either (as I tried fixing it in Adobe Audition.) When one part would match up, another part would be way off.
It leads me to believe that who ever did this conversion recorded the fronts and rears separately (on what didn't sound like a very well calibrated tape deck).
I wouldn't mind lower fidelity, certainly considering it came from a Q8, but channels being totally out of sync I can't deal with... It makes me wonder why anyone would encode a recording like this. Do some people just not listen to the end result?
