EAR MURDER. but yeh, that track would give me ear-semen in 5.1 |

i bought some 5.1 surround sound headphones for gaming a while back. they are pretty damn nice for listening to music, better than my old sony studio headphones. they dont look as cool though....so that kinda sucks. i'd be happy if autechre released a surround sound version of any song from tri-repetae or chiastic slide. Nuane in 5.1 would. be. Sick. |

which headphones specifically, and how much did you pay for them? wouldn't mind getting a pair of something myself. |
||||||||

also: 5.1 helps a lot with games? |

nice.. so, any nice releases in 5.1 so far? |
||||||||
|

man i have no idea what has been release din 5.1 so far, all i can really say is that nine inch nails release of with teeth that ame out this year where its like hi-def super cd or something. dont really know how it works out, and i have not clue what other artists have done that. haent heard the nine inch nail release myself either. prolly sounds fat tho. problem with a 5.1 release is you could not release it on something like BLEEP, i dunno how the encoding works, how you encode a 5.1 audio file. imagine the day when it becomes rel popular, and the files stand as like 600mb files.. |

nice picture. Orbital released 5.1 dvd with tracks from The Altogether album. I checked it and it sounded a bit enhanced. A few additional sounds here and there within the speakers space. |

5.1 headphones are really nice for first person shooters like Call of Duty. Makes it easier to hear where your enemy is. The ones I got are the Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA and they cost about $70 US. They come with a removable mic, too. |

what is 5.1? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
five speakers + one bass speaker |

's DE9: Transitions mix is in 5.1 surround sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also: sure, a format like bleep can work fine. 5.1 isn't hugely different to 2 channel audio; there's just more channels. i'm pretty sure ogg/flac support 5.1, for example. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
would it be possible, if on a CD release, that certain tracks were encoded 5.1 versus others that were regular 2-channel? we must continue to raise the demand!! we demand autechre tracks in 5.1!!! |

I thought 5.1 must be on DVD media, not CD |
||||||||
|
|

i don't think there's a commonly used cd format that uses 5.1, but i could be wrong (and with uncompressed audio, you'd turn a 80 minute cd into less than 40 minutes [more channels] - not good for much else apart from singles or short ep's). there's dvd audio, and yes, 5.1 + 2 encodes are quite normal. i've got a few 5.1 releases, including with teeth. haven't got a 5.1 setup though, so haven't heard it in 5.1 glory yet. a 5.1/7.1 monitor setup is bloody expensive, hence the interest in headphones. i'd love to get into 5.1 audio, both listening and creating. moving from a simple 2d plane into complete 3d aural space, it could be mindblowing, the mindfuckery possible makes me all tingly. i'm all for 5.1 autechre - after decent gear becomes affordable :-) |

thats good info. i know this guy in dallas who does 4 channel shows only. he'll have beats blasting at you from the front and sweep these real watery sounds from back to front, all kinds of 'mindfuckery' as you say, it works quite well in a live setting. there was this one time he was playing the guitar and just having these beats blasting at the front and sweeping all other noises and water-blendy melodies from the back to the front, it was excellent. id like to learn how to do that myself but i think my laptop'd explode.... have you listened to with teeth dvd on 2 channel audio? does it sound any better versus the regular CD on a 2 channel system? |
||||||||

ah, hell, there is a 5.1 "cd format" (note quotes). the hybrid format appears to just be a double layered disc though, a normal cd layer that can be read in normal cd players, and then another, entirely seperate layer which requires a special sacd drive (with the 5.1 audio). so, technically, the 5.1 isn't really a cd at all. interesting solution to retain backwards compatibility, though. i see sony have encumbered it with copy protection shit. christ, won't they learn that just scares people away from their otherwise great technologies? |
||||||||

and as far as affordable gear goes i've bought this for $200, sounds excellent too. bass is real karate kick and it was a stroll to setup.. |

haha, nice. that sounds amazing live. re: with teeth - i don't know, i've tried to compare them a few times (2 channel dvd audio, versus cd audio) and haven't really noticed any major differences. it might be the player/sound card i was trying to use, though (creative dvd-audio, audigy card, both more consumer level), though headphones/monitors; i suspect it may sound quite different utilising digital out. some of the sounds do sound 'sharper', but it's so subtle it might just be my imagination (as that's how i'd expect it to sound). might try doing it again through better equipment. |
||||||||

looks good, but i'd be after monitors or something with an accurate sound response, rather than consumer level gear - music listening primarily happens where i create music, and i'm wishing to utilise the same speaker setup. hence why headphones sound so promising. :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've got me curious now, as i can get sony gear wholesale and it's actually quite affordable indeed. i find on most 'home' grade gear, the high end and the low end might sound tight, but the mid range sounds constrained and muddy as hell. what are your experiences? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sound is very good. to compensate for the mid-range i just turn down the 'treble' setting on the unit and up the volume. fixes that. but, even without doing the mid-range sounds good. i acknowledge that it could sound a lot better if i spent more money but it's not on my mind when i'm watching a movie like 'spriggan' with 5.1 audio. it is aurally arrresting and it's out of my mind. also, i have the speakers closer together than suggested by sony. if the speakers were much farther away from eachother the sound would not be as good. i have a preset for listening to music on the system and one for watching movies. on the unit you can adjust the individual volumes for front left, center, front right, rear right, rear left, and the sub. individually. |

i dont really have a 'top-of-the-range' system but nin - downward spiral 5.1 and sacd 5.1 sounds amazing. (especially ruiner). couldnt remember a vast notable difference on with teeth - might warrant a listen or 2 today. ae 5.1 wishlist would have to include eutow rsdio entire LP5 pro radii also some richard devine 5.1 would also be amazing. |

I thought he did with teeth all in mono. Richard devine is supposedly making a 5.1 album. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah, for sure, there's some 5.1 releases that are brilliant. |

Sony HT-DDW670 Multi-Channel Output: 100 Watts x 5 (RMS 10% THD) I'd stay away from home-theatre-in-a-box systems, they are pretty much the equivalent of those boombox type systems, just more speakers. Wattage confuses me. Why would they send 100 watts through those skinny little wires to those tiny little speakers? I decided to look into a 5.1 system and have the components in mind. I plan to get it as soon as I clear up selling this car and switching insurance on my other one. If you're looking for budget/entry speakers the received a lot of praise in audiophile circles (see reviews in link), despite only being about $200-300/speaker. There has since been released another generation, F2.2, but the original F2 can now be found for less than $200 each. They're said to compare in sound to speakers that could cost you $1000 each. So I'm going to get 4 of these, their center channel, and a 12"sub, and because I work for a company that does business with them, I can order these for super cheap. Like each PAIR of F2.2's is $239 including shipping. Picked out a marantz 80Wx7 receiver, and a denon dvd player. Should be pretty sweet yarr |
