Listening to this surround UPMIX, up-remix, or remix

[humprof]

Listening to an excellent Penteo upmix of Tom Waits, Swordfishtrombones. 40 years old last Friday! Upmixes beautifully. I'd sort of forgotten how much I love this album.

Enjoying this new CYAN release. Started up-mixing the extra CD tracks on the "Pictures from Another Side - REMIXED and LIVE"; and loving the way "Broken Man Acoustic (Celtic Mix)" has turned out

Nicely balanced mix. "Oh Darling" is a highlight.

Seems like we're not getting an official surround mix from the band while the members are still alive enough to sue each other.

This thread is all about upmixes. The great work done by @skherbeck is actually multi- channel remixes from individual tracks or stems. Upmixes and remixes are two different animals.

It seems that many of us have been using the term "upmix" rather broadly. Yes, anything mixed from multi-tracks or stems like Methuselah and Herbeck have been doing are actually remixes or new mixes and not upmixes.

But what do we call the stuff that a number of members, including myself, are doing when we demix from stereo into stems (i.e. tear it apart into acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums, bass, vocals, other instruments, etc.); and then remix into a new multi-channel mix?

And then we've got others who upmix first, then demix and finally remix.

that would be me currently which I just say is an UDR for short. Lots of ways to skin the Kitty

You can understand my confusion. Is there a separate thread for unofficial mixes from discrete stems?

Perhaps the originator (that would be you @GOS ) can change the title of this threat to "Listening to this Surround UPMIX or REMIX"

How do I do that? I don't see any edit button near the original post, or title.

At this point, I believe a moderator would have to do it for you Gene.

I changed it.

A bit of fun from "Niko"

On the other hand, this is one of my absolute favorite tunes from Sabbath. A semi-psychedelic slab of killer rock. Geezer's lyrics are over the top and Ozzy delivers some scorching vocals. Obviously Iommi is on fire here.
