Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fizzywiggs41]

Released in Japan on on R2R.

I wasn't aware that they (Japanese ) had released many QR-R2R. So it's something new I learn today .

I was under the impression that the Japanese/Asian market was primarily saturated with Quad LPS , and very few QR'S .


I most definitely don't have a list of any tapes . Just CD-4 and matrix encoded LPS.

Besides King/A&M were there other labels that did this rather localized thing ?

will you look at the compression on those Front channels...!!

Yes, it's terrible, that's why I just wrote "Great songs"

I like to focus on the positive things.

I like to keep it real, bearing in mind this is a surround music forum

Jethro Tull-Songs From The Wood. Very Nice and well---kinda bright :sun.

kinda like Steven Wilson's other Yes remixes, all bright indeed

does that mean they used the compression from the stereo cd and used that as their fronts for the 5.1 mix but used other (less compressed) tracks for the 3.1?

Steely Dan, Gaucho, DTS 5.1, sounds sooooo good.

Waylon Jennings ‎– Lonesome, On'ry & Mean (Q8)

One of my very favourite Quad mix. Some tracks feature as many as five guitar players. Great album with some fantastic songs are amazing guitar playing. Freedom To Stay and Pretend I Never Happened are beautiful songs.

1968 Stones , and they put out some of their best music then and immediately after.


One Song in Surround---ONLY ONE ! It is very good though.


SACD



And the Circus Concert with a poor attempt at surround-----, but all the musical acts are super good .

Rick Wakeman - Journey To The Centre Of The Earth

Yikes, first time listener.....
I don't like this whatsoever. For sure a dust collector for me.

I've no idea sorry I've never scrutinised the mix, I doubt that's what they did.. although the mastering engineer may have referenced the Stereo and applied similar compression to the Fronts only? we know sometimes such compression is intentional as an aesthetic/artistic thing and that may be the case here, I don't know.. when I've encountered such things with 5.1 before its part of why a 5.1 mix can sound so front heavy even if there's a fair bit of surround activity in the mix, since the rear content gets drowned out by needlessly compressed Front channels (Bowie's Station To Station is one example) but just looking at the disproportionate waveforms of Front L&R without even hearing anything they're potentially gonna sound (feel?) quite different from the Centre & Rears.. anyway I'll rip the DualDisc in DVDAE next week and have a look at it so I don't have to second guess so much!
