Nice! Hearing The Quadfather on Quad Reel - what could be better ?
Listening to it with a glass of good Kentucky whiskey...
All you need is a DVD player with anaolog outs. Play the DTS CD and connect the quad reel inputs to the DVD players surround outputs. You will not be able to capture any center or LFE channels, but if it's one of the DTS CDs released by DTS Entertainment that was not a newly recorded for 5.1 release (Parsons, Steely Dan, etc) you will be fine.
Quadrareel...It comes on Qudra Disc CD 4 also.View attachment 11537
I've heard that for around 50 years...Hogwash!! It has a taste and WILL give you a hangover.
I still say Kentucky or Tennessee Whiskey.
I am really liking this Nilsson Schmilsson track "Jump Into the Fire" - the drum solo in quad in truly awesome.
That's a good one. Right up there with Love Theme from the Godfather and Stardrive.
Well, in that case I'll never forget my personal "Holy Crap!" moment when I got my hands on the multitrack to Marvin Gaye's "I Heard it through the Grapevine". This song has always screamed multichannel to me. So when I got the opportunity, I jumped at it! The funny thing was, when I was doing my final mix and channel layout, I had no thoughts on doing any silly effects (like on the released version that has the conga spinning around incessantly - I hate that!) Anyway, since I only had one track of drums and one track of congas, I figured ok, let's put our rhythm section in the back ala the Sly Stone Q8. Organ, Bass, Electric guitar & Marvin up front, girls in the back. Since the strings and horns are mixed down to a single track (remember, this is only an 8 track multi), I fattened up the single track with a little studio trickery making it sound somewhat stereo. This I panned to all four channels to flesh out the mix. However, the mix still sounds very organic. I believe it was mostly recorded live... ie: you can hear the organ (in FL) rattling the snare drum of the drum kit (in BL) same on the right side, the pounding conga (BR) can be heard getting picked up by the guitar amp mic in FR.....
Anyway, I digress. When I finished all this placement, I hit play on my mixdown preview and well.... watch the intro on my youtube video.

The band tracks build up in a counter-clockwise spin! Never planned that, never hoped to achieve that - it just simply happened as that's how I laid the tracks out.
Best moment ever.
I guess my next question should be: How do you get ahold of a multi-track mastertape? Lucky on ebay??
