In the Thread: 2+3 surround sound??
Post Subject: I do not agree as well, sometimes with myself....Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/4/2021
Bill, I know that we have a designment on this and the more
I am thinking about it the more departing from your view of Surround Sound.
What is interesting is that we are taking about the very same thing and have no
disagreement about the result, but we choose different ways to name it. I feel
that trirm Surround Sound is fundamentally spoiled but bad implementations of
the past. It has a big and ugly stigma in my view and if one refers to anything
with term of Surround Sound then anybody have very clear idea what it is and
what objectives are. What you do might be considered as properly done “Surround
Sound” as you surround a listener with “sounds” and properly time also the sources.
They might be reverberation sounds, reflection sounds, independent channel sounds
or whatever you or “they” want to put in there. In my case I inject into room acoustic
distortions and to be absolutely honest: I would not need to even to have a surround
channel to do so.
Let me to explain. Pretend we have
a “perfect” and ideal reverberation/delay processor that generates all needed reverberation
and do not crew up main sound. Then we would not even need the surround channels
and all necessary “room enhancement” would be produces by ONLY main speakers. Would
you call this installation as Surround Sound installation?
I am am experimenting with it now and I can
show some interesting results. Sure, I do not have a “perfect” reverberation processor
and I have what I have. Still, running it on my secondary “pilot” system (when
you hear it you will be laughing for a long time) and presuming that ALL sound
go over this “perfect” reverberation processor (assuming the sound got worse to
begin with) I am able to recreate probably 30%-40% of hall reverberation effect
with just two channels. Agals the main channels sound become significantly
worse….Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
