I've just finished an interesting experiment. I had decoded (with kempfand's scripts for Audition 3.0) Suppe's "Boccaccio", recorded by EMI in 1974, with Rothenberger, Moser, Prey, Boehme and Willi Boskovsky conducting Bayerisches Symphonieorchester. Although it was never released in SQ version, it was recorded in 'quad time' of EMI. And strange thing happened, as I think.
After decoding it looked like that: 'rear' file was louder (a bit) than 'front' and contained nearby whole orchestra, which sounded strange and was nonsense, of course.
So what I've done, was inversion - I replaced fronts with rears and rears (after 3dB cut - IMHO rears cannot be too loud if you wish to have clear sound) with fronts and, to my big surprise... IT WORKS.
How do I know it? Well, it's not hard to find it with opera or operetta recording. First thing - voices. They are placed around with big realism and there's no doubt, that not accidentally. The same in dialogue parts. And orchestra - you hear it from there, where it should be...
But I have no idea, why Audition decoded it in that strange way...! And what do you think..?
