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

[J. PUPSTER]

Finally getting this one lined up to how I like to hear it...
Kenny's guitar in the Rear Left and a little louder; Hawkins' sax in Rear Right and softer; and Flanagan's piano in the fronts...

In lieu of the REAL 5.1 mix that is fading in a hard drive somewhere....

ROCK CANDY FUNK PARTY
-just had to rework this one "again" to give some more punch like a
"Charging Mountain Gorilla with his Balls on fire!" uhm huh!

This timeless classic sounds amazing using SpecWeb 2.3b

It's time! Please play by the rules of Jon's wishes. This thread is dedicated to all the amazing upmix artists. Post what you're listening to! Give credit if you wish.
No links, no shenanigans.

I provided a good vinyl rip, and Pup did a Penteo upmix. How cool!!

I don’t have the hand-crafted Styx upmix mentioned above, but I’m listening to this in stereo lossless on Apple Music, my AVR handling the Dolby Surround upmix. Sounds almost discrete! Immersive and superior to the stereo original. Amazing!

I‘d love to hear other takes

Never really listened to Grace Jones' stuff much before; but this could be one of the most discrete, dynamic and enjoyable up-mixes I've ever done, from the Blu-ray Audio disc.

man-child

*I can definitely hear where Prince was influenced by this period of Herbie's music, the beats, the horns, keyboards, the textures- fingerprints are all over it...

Speaking of Prince, got my Welcome 2 America box in yesterday to check out.

"Steppin' In It" kind of sounds like a mash up of Chameleon on Head Hunters and Sanford And Son Theme from Lou Donaldson's Sassy Soul Strut.

and Bubbles is just a surroundy riot!

man-child for sure should have been a real Quad release (Atmos maybe )

To belatedly celebrate its 50th birthday (yesterday): I'm listening to a certain local upmix whiz's excellent SPEC-based upmix of Who's Next.

Aja is 44 today. Seems like we'll never hear a bona fide multi-channel mix, so thank god there are QQ luminaries doing such great work with Penteo...

 

[mandrix]

I did a pretty decent SPEC/Plogue upmix of Aja and put it on the Demon years ago. Unfortunately I can't get on Demonoid any more.
Don't think I've heard a Penteo upmix. Would like to......

Japanese Breakfast, Sable:

Happy Birthday To Ya: Listening to DKA's peerless SPEC upmix to mark the 45th anniversary of Songs in the Key of Life.

Just stumbled on this thread.

Will someone please explain to me how it is possible to separate out the instruments from a stereo mix to then create a surround sound remix?

Thanks in advance!

The New Basement Tapes ‎– Lost On The River #20
Rhiannon Giddens

 

[humprof]

After hearing Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness talk about it yesterday on the latest episode of their Album Years podcast, I had to haul out Thom Yorke's The Eraser. (I agree with Wilson: this is EDM, humanized.) Upmixes really beautifully with the Dolby Surround Upmixer...
