#NowPlaying #8TrackTuesday #DeadFormats
A triple whammy: a #quadraphonic #8Track of nothing but #Moog synthesizer. Just how much more 1970s can a piece of plastic get?
#quadraphonic
Round up recent finds over last few weeks
Pile of Top of the Poppers 8 Track Cartridges, surprised they did Carts into ‘80
Couple of #Quadraphonic LPs. Yeah wouldn’t normally do SoM, but it’s CD-4 Quad - note rainbow effect from Subcarrier Groove Wall
1st Pye Poppers & Japanese Phase 4 #Censored
I made a little playlist of my fave #quark encoded #quadraphonic tracks on soundcloud
I have finally released "Surroundings 1" on Bandcamp: https://remst8.bandcamp.com/album/surroundings-1
This EP is encoded in QUARK (see https://quark.cykik.com to learn more) so you can listen in stereo as-is or use a Regular Matrix decoder (or Dolby Pro Logic II) to listen in #quadraphonic.
It has been available at Mirlo for awhile, and you can still get it there: https://mirlo.space/remst8/release/surroundings-1

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 did a #Quadraphonic rework of "00045 forgive" by dvdv, then encoded it with #QUARK so you can play it in stereo as-is or in quadraphonic using a hardware decoder, the free QUARK plugin on your computer, or a home theater receiver with Dolby Pro Logic II.
The video linked below includes the encoded stereo track and a 5.1 surround mix. YouTube will play the audio in either stereo or full surround, according to the capabilities of the device you watch it on.
@CrowsLabyrinth That is very disappointing and frustrating (though, sadly, not terribly surprising).
I still want to explore translating my #quadraphonic music to #DolbyAtmos, but these details have certainly deflated my motivation.
Per @macrumors, #AppleMusic will pay artists up to 10% more in royalties for #SpatialAudio content.

My "to do" list includes figuring out a workflow for translating my #quadraphonic (and 4.1) stuff into #DolbyAtmos. Maybe I should move that one up a little higher in priority...
#NowPlaying Three more Santana SACDs, released by Sony Japan. Each hybrid disc has the original Quadraphonic mix and is packaged in an elaborate 7-inch gatefold sleeve with OBI. They have released eight so far, and each is highly recommended!! 📀 #SACD #SuperAudioCD #CD #CompactDisc #SonyJapan #HiResAudio #Quadraphonic #Santana
I performed in quadraphonics in a yurt at Synthwoods in the Santa Cruz mountains. Peter Nyboer also did a quadraphonic piece. It was so awesome to introduce this immersive music to many locals.
There was also Joachim Garraud (French Touch DJ) and we were hosted by Bacprop

BLACK SABBATH's 'Paranoid' Available In Quadraphonic Sound For First Time In Nearly 50 Years
Rhino is a respected name in the audiophile community, renowned for their exceptional and quality catalog releases. Following the success of "The Doobie Brothers: Quadio" (2020) and "Chicago Quadio" (2016) sets, Rhino has released a slew of seminal 1970s albums recorded in quadra...
I notice quite the outbreak of surround sound enabled videos on oo-tube. Seems a bit late in the day for all that 5.1, 7.1 palava. Thought it was all Atmos or spatial audio now. All my life, somewhere, somebody was convinced that surround sound was the next big thing. Christ even #TheArchers went out in #Quadraphonic for the 3 people that could recieve it back in 1977 (presumably wiped). #SurroundSound #audio #youtube
I recently performed in quadraphonics at the Gray Area in San Francisco.

@atomicpoet The guy i was talking bout set up a quad listening room and has a #quadraphonic copy (on tape) of "Dark side of the moon" .. they did a listening party a few weeks ago, but i didn't have time to go.. but we're doing it again in a few weeks.
@atomicpoet me and the guy who owns the studio i goof round were just talking about the idea of producing #quadraphonic mixes of some projects we've work on on 30 ips tape. but i am just looking into how much interest there would be. he's working out the technical details

Meanwhile, I have experimented with #QUARK (Quadraphonic Universally Accessible Resource Kit - https://quark.cykik.com/), which uses Regular Matrix encoding to "fold down" #quadraphonic music into a stereo file. You can listen to the stereo file as-is or use any Regular Matrix decoder (like QUARK or an old skool hardware decoder) to hear it in quad again. The math used by Dolby ProLogic II is close enough to also work.
@sergio_101 I am still exploring how to deliver my #quadraphonic music.

The simplest method is to provide 4 channel WAV or FLAC files. That's easiest for me, but puts the burden on the listener to be able to play those files. That's probably not a big deal for those who are quad/surround music enthusiasts, but it seems like that may be a very niche market.
@remst8 i would love to hear more about your approach to delivering #quadraphonic recordings, and the availability of your work in quadraphonic mixes.
I have four speakers, I want an internet radio station that streams four channels
not exactly #quadraphonic but close enough
