I had to Google that. Interesting what they've done with the old sub work stations.
What got me is the roof is 9 metres thick solid re-enforced concrete. 9 metres! That's about 30 feet in old money!!
Only if blu-rays become obsolete and SACDs win the format wars.
There is no such thing as fold down in Atmos, all sounds are in the bed. Now the bed is usually (possibly always I haven't checked) 7.1 so there could be a down mix for the rears.My standalone blu-ray arrived today from Rarewaves. Listening to the stereo first for some reason, nice
Only if it has a CD layer there are a few pure SACDs around.Only if blu-rays become obsolete and SACDs win the format wars.
Plus you can play the SACD on a regular cd player if that matters to you.
See the two messages above yours, Kirk.
That was playing it in True HD, whereas Kirk is talking about playing it in Dolby Digital 5.1.
Thought that might be the case after I posted. Thx!
think the Quad on the DVD may have been in Surround in two bitrates of Dolby Digital?
Correct. James Guthrie hates DTS.
Yup, the Rolling Stones did it too. And the actual term in Europe is kind of shocking - it's 70 years from release if released within 50 years for sound recordings made after 1962. A few countries have shorter terms but the number has been diminishing.
Together him hating DTS and being really keen on tube/valve mic amps, I have serious doubts about Guthrie's judgement.Correct. James Guthrie hates DTS.
Tube mic pres can impart pleasing coloration to microphones' frequency response via selective harmonic distortion. As a creative sonic choice, there's absolutely nothing wrong with using them.
Better to capture the raw mic output and then if you want to add colouration do it in the audio workstation, you can then dial it up or down to choice. But if you bake it in and it's too much or wrong type it's too late to change.
For stereo TV I select Dolby Surround. But if I leave that set when playing 5.1 sources it does strange things, those I have to select the raw decode whether DD 5.1, DTS, True HD or DTS HD MA. Atmos I have to select Dolby Virtual so it actually does an Atmos decode (to put things in the correct channels) despite my 5.0 speakers. Letting the amp figure it out by itself does not work for me with this amp.
Their b-sides have all been in print forever. No reason to do that. What stuff did they release and on what day was that?
No they didn’t. 10 years later, those are all still available on iTunes.
