In addition to celebrating 30 years, The Visit: The Definitive Edition marks Loreena’s first-ever surround sound mixes, bringing listeners a whole new, sophisticated and enhanced experience.
The anniversary package includes a Blu-ray audio disc with the original recording rendered in Dolby Atmos®, 5.1 surround sound and a hi-res stereo version.
For customers without a Blu-ray player and sound system, a binaural headphone mix of the original recording can be found on disc four and enjoyed through a standard CD player. These binaural mixes offer listeners a similar experience to surround sound, using stereo headphones.
Dolby has developed this new immersive format, Atmos, that provides the listener with a musical experience comparable to three-dimensional sound experienced in modern cinemas.
The 5.1 mix is presented in the older, five-speaker plus subwoofer surround sound format with which most home cinema and surround sound aficionados will be more familiar.
The hi-res stereo mix is an uncompressed audio format that allows listeners to enjoy the original stereo mix in a resolution that comes closest to the original stereo studio masters.
The surround mixes were created by the three-time Juno winning engineer Jeff Wolpert at his Dolby Atmos® Studio
Desert Fish in Toronto, Canada. Jeff also engineered the original recording of The Visit in 1991.
