modey Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 listened/watched samples of attack on silence, might see if i can get hold of a copy. i didn't know bjork's albums were reissued in 5.1! this excites me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 i don't know how i feel about albums that were in stereo being put to 5.1 . The downward spiral surround sound redux demystified a lot of the sound palette for me, once the layers were more separated i felt like the dense feeling of some of the tracks disappeared. I haven't heard any of bjorks stuff this way. the only time i thought it made sense was the Beatles dvd boxset, they have a few remixed tracks on there. Most of them were tracks that were hard panned to begin with (guitars in left channel, drums in right channel) so it was just an extension of that. I suppose it can be done a bunch of different ways but i think in some cases it's not an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splesh Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Someone on demonoid.com made a 5.1 homebrew of Autechre's Untilted. Seems like it would take a while to download but maybe worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it can be done a bunch of different ways but i think in some cases it's not an improvement. yeah, it's a bit of a gimmick in some ways, but some are done really well - for example, the peter gabriel era genesis albums, a lot of that stuff has a lot of layers, and the 5.1 mixes really bring out a lot of sounds that were previously hidden. same with the talking heads reissues. i haven't given the downward spiral a proper listen yet! Someone on demonoid.com made a 5.1 homebrew of Autechre's Untilted. Seems like it would take a while to download but maybe worth it? yeah i saw one of oversteps too.. alas it's in DTS format and i dunno if i have a player that can decode that (i'm using a creative x-fi surround card with analog logitech speakers for now so no digital outputs).

awepittance Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 very interesting, i'm going to try it using the instructions here - http://www.surroundbyus.com/sbu/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13 i'm a registered user of plogue bidule but i haven't opened it in about 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 cool, let me know how you go - i'd be interested in hearing your results. i'm currently downloading the oversteps one, and will see if i can get foobar or winamp to play it somehow.

awepittance Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 don't mean to hijack your thread but now that were talking about making surround mixes, do you know of any wave editing software that supports 4 or 5 channel wave/aiff files? apparently the new version of adobe audition does but it's not out yet.

Fredd-E Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 wow how come Surrounded by Tipper has not been recommended yet?!?!?! http://www.discogs.com/Tipper-Surrounded/release/144009 This is an absolute electronic audio heaven. Listening to it in stereo was amazing but hearing it in 5.1 surround sound blow my head off! This album sets standards for the future of surround albums. i felt so much emotion has gone into this project. Big up Tipper! The 2.1 version is epic to start with. I reckon the 5.1 version is mindblowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 so would people say that true 5.1 mastered albums are better than the stereo ones? for the ones i've heard, i'd say its 50/50. The Richie hawtin one is amazing. In the regular stereo version he's mixing up to 5-6 loops at once at some points, so having it in surround separates those layers out more to each channel so you can actually hear them. Along with the awesome use of 5.1 , the DVD video portion is a very minimalist but utilitarian animated list of tracks that are playing. As richie fades in the volume to a new loop, a new title and track will fade in on the screen. It's basically the best DJ mix hard copy release i have ever listened to, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 i'm in the process of downloading the homebrew dts mix of oversteps. had a bit of a listen, it sounds pretty strange. it's pretty obvious in parts that it was extrapolated into 5.1, there are artifacts here and there. gonna wait until it's finished before forming a solid opinion on it though.

modey Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Richie Hawtin DE9 surround is amazing Just bumping to say I finally found this album in a store today, and it's fucking awesome! I still need more 5.1 album recommendations; I've been neglecting my setup for far too long. It's good for gaming but I never play games anymore!

Guest jasondonervan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Björk 5.1 set is really nice if you've not already got it. I had it as a leaving gift from a job when it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 ooh cool! I'd love to hear Vespertine and Homogenic in 5.1! Man, this Richie Hawtin mix is melting my balls. Only at the halfway point and its fucking intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasondonervan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Vespertine is sharp as a set of steak knifes in 5.1. I haven't put them on for a while, I shall rectify that shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
