Maybe this isn't the proper forum for this post, but I don't know where else to put it.
Anyhow, I've decided to do a school project of mine in one of the vintage quadraphonic matrix systems. I've been mostly using SQ vinyl sources, but there are a few "modern" surround titles that I'd like to use in this project.
So far I've already encoded ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery" to SQ, and the results weren't bad. (I recorded the analog outputs into a multi-channel sound card, and then encoded using Adobe Audition and the sessions provided by Lucanu here. The encoding actually works pretty well!)
What I'm wondering though, is if QS would be the better system to use in this case.
I know this may seem a bit off the wall, and I agree that it is! That's just the kind of twisted person I am!
If anyone would like to offer any suggestions of DVD-A (or SACD) titles that they think would encode well into either SQ or QS, please let me know! So far I've found that the more "discrete" mixes have an easier time with SQ then the "ambient" mixes (although I'm sure this isn't news to many of us.)
