Pink Floyd in surround sound. Super Audio CD /SACD. High resolution format of the past and are still being made. These (and DVDA) are as awesome as vinyl records are for analog but are digital's peak. #pinkfloyd #sacd #dvdaudio #dvda #superaudiocd #SurroundSound #music

The Blue Man Group's AUDIO album is one of my favorite multi-channel high res 192/24 audio albums that I have. The mix itself, the incredible highs, the insanely rich base. Completely independent tracks written for each speaker. It's unfortunate that 5.1 music never really caught on, though I am happy that most live concerts recorded today are in 5.1. #music #highdefinition #highresolution #SurroundSound #Surround #audio #dvdaudio #sacd

Ugh, I missed the trailer drop 2-3 days ago on YouTube and the theater near me only has seats on the sides of the first two rows.

A theater in South Miami has a perfect seat left, but that's too far to travel since I've already experienced the concert show on AppleTV with my 4K tv and 5.1 surround system.

It's awesome 👏🏿

I'd love to see this in IMAX, but that doesn't seem possible.

Okay y'all, I hit the jackpot again! So I have the OnePlus 13 phone, and Earfun wireless earbuds. So I was trying surround sound playback on the AAC Multichannel Playback Test page from Fraunhoffer, and while the OReality audio doesn't use the surround sound channels, the Spatial Audio option does! So yeah, while the OnePlus doesn't have Dolby Atmos, it does support surround sound emulation. Lets see an iPhone do that! :)

So in my quest to get Dolby Pro Logic surround sound encoding in Godot, I have stumbled upon the docs for AudioEffectStereoEnhance. It had no documentation until now with 4.4 coming out. But it appears to go about encoding matrix surround sound the same way as Dolby Pro Logic by phase shifting the rear channels. How exactly it does this is not explained and these descriptions are still not detailed enough, but I think I might finally be nearing the end of my quest for outdated surround sound lol

I will try to test this later and will report back if I find anything useful.

Take-aways

- buy your music directly from artists!
- buy or keep PHYSICAL MEDIA, because digital can always be taken away
- back up your physical media or digital in the OTHER format. Life happens.
- streaming services ALWAYS enshittify
- "free" (of payment) isn't actually FREE.
- speaking of which the only tru "free" is #FOSS
- fuck windows

and
- computer speakers ALWAYS suck. No, don't care how much you spent on those. Unless you are connecting your computer's sound card to a receiver, with a real amplifier, and speakers that deserve that name, what you are listening to now SUCKS.
- same apply to your Tv. Tv speakers SUCK, always have, since Pioneer killed the Kuro series ( ::tears:: )
- SOUNDBARS SUCK, get a real surround system.

FTR, #atmos is utter garbage.

No, I don't care that you got conned into buying $2k of a shitty, plasticky, disposable system that added two extra channels, without a decent return/benefit for it.

"Atmos" is just (tldr) bouncing sound from the ceiling to simulate sound coming from above. Unless you are listening to the system in a room within the very, very narrow specs of ceiling height, material, etc, you just wasted bandwidth, materials (plastic, wood, wires, etc), and my patience. Even when configured to optimal specs, atmos sounds like dogshit.

#SurroundSound rules: K.I.S.S.

Can't beat *wired* speakers, connected to a decent, simple amp, A/V receivers are ok, see rule about amplifier.
90% of everything works with 5.1;
No, none of the "newer" codecs are better than DTS HD Master or Dolby TrueHD;
No, two subwoofers are not necessarily better than one;
Bluetooth is utter shit;
HDMI ARC is shit, and HDMI after 1.3 is about the same.
Korean companies never made anything audio that sounded remotely good or was not disposable crap;
PMPO rating is a scam;
More wattage does NOT mean better sound;
Louder doesn't mean better;
Brand cables are a scam;
Looks of a speaker don't mean shit for the sound;
More expensive doesn't mean better.

Gerade mal #BaldursGate3 geshoppt.

Das #Spiel scheint ein #Meilenstein der #Computerspiel-#Geschichte geworden zu sein, da sollte ich auch mal einen Blick riskieren und der #BlackFriday ist eine gute Gelegenheit.

Ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich die #PC-Version (#DRM-frei von #GOG) oder die #PlayStation-Portierung nehmen soll. Grafisch scheint es keinen Unterschied zu machen, bei der Steuerung punktet vermutlich der PC mit Tastatur und Maus.

Am Ende ist es aber doch die #PS5 geworden, ich habe Spiele generell lieber getrennt von meiner "Produktiv-Umgebung" für SeriousBusiness™️ und an der #PS5Pro (an die das Game auch speziell angepasst worden zu sein scheint) kann ich mit #SurroundSound auf großer #Leinwand im #Heimkino spielen.

I’m so full of inspiration after an exciting week at Sony’s “Immersive Creator Experience” camp. Here’s a picture of me and artist/producer Neffu working in the 4.1.4 audio room I built for the week. This was my first time really successfully doing music production with different creators while actually monitoring with an immersive audio setup. This year I relied a ton on Fab Filter’s Pro-R2, Sound Particles Density & inDelay, and Eventide’s Blackhole Immersive edition. Plus the quad “double ORTF” setup my pal Will built with Sony’s ECM-100 mics.

Where can I find comparative reviews of 5.1 receivers / blu-ray systems?

I have an old Sony one standing between my LG TV and a speaker system, but after a few months of flakiness, it seems to have failed.

I like RTINGS for lots of things but they don't seem to have this.

I should add: my main use for this is playing TV via HDMI ARC through surround-sound speakers. Secondarily, playing DVD/BD through the same TV and speakers. Sometimes radio.

I like the better sound and volume of my built-in speakers, but I am not a real audiophile. Not willing to pay thousands for this.

Lilbits: Intel Foundry to operate as a subsidiary, HTC Vive Focus Vision XR is a premium headset, and Bose unveils “Personal Surround Sound”

Setting up a surround-sound system at home usually involves arranging at least five speakers plus a subwoofer around the house. But Bose has introduced a new “Personal Surround Sound” system that lets you do it by pairing a soundbar placed by your TV with a pair of open-ear earbuds. Since the earbuds don’t cover your ears, they can act as rear speakers while still allowing you to hear audio […]

Ally fails to appreciate the importance of the main listening position in a 7.1 surround configuration, near field reflections from walls, severe off-axis response, or head position for accurate imaging.

Quad audio in Bitwig 5 ⬇️

New article on my website (under “Misc”) about how I set up quadraphonic (4-channel) surround audio in Bitwig Studio 5, which doesn’t natively support it yet.

I'm not really a #car person but I am an minor #audiophile and I got excited when I spotted that according the the manual my car should be able to handle #multichannel #audio playback!

However in practice all I seem to be able to get when I try various 5.1 #SurroundSound test files are the front left and right, all other channels silent. So it seems to know their 5.1, but only playing 2 channels out of front and rear speakers.

Any car/audio people have any suggestions? #Skoda #Fabia 3 #Bolero
