Supperclub (16 Nov 1993) Vol 1, DTS (Ambisonics) 5.1 Surround Encoded. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Info about the recording: =================== I will says this: its NOT like Dolby at all ! I know we always take for granted that true surround is : a solo guitar from the left-front, voices from the Center, Bass thru the LFE, etc.etc. The article will give you a complete different angle ! http://s2n.org/Articles/Ambisonics.html If there are any questions, then please email me her jonamars@hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How to make a cd and play it:?? ========================= Step 0:Extrack the files from shn. Step 1A: Go to the CD-Audio recorder application of your choice and use this stereo 16-bit WAV file to create a standard red-book audio CD. I've used CD-Architect as well as Adaptec Easy CD Creator. Make sure you mark this as a CD-DTS disc that's not for playback in an Audio-CD player, as the digital noise will be at full volume level and speaker damage could result. Step 1B: Or you can lets the files been on the harddrive if you wish to play it through the computer (5.1 soundcard), Then use the suplied CUE file and use http://www.daemon-tools.com/ daemon tools to make a virtual cd with the wav files. It a lot easier if you have the space on the harddrive for the files. Step 2A: Take the CD-DTS disc and play it back in any DVD player that's hooked to a 5.1 Receiver with a Dolby Digital decoder. Start with the volume turned down low in case the receiver decides you're giving it a PCM file and plays the data "as-is" without decoding which could damage your speakers. Select the DVD-Digital input on the Receiver (optical or wired) and it should detect the DTS data stream and start decoding it into 5.1 surround. If you burn a CD-R rather than a CD-RW, this DTS file will play back from a Red-Book CD Player if the proper type of decoder is used. You'll need one with an S/PDIF output... and be sure not to crank up the PCM output of a DTS file, since it's hard on your ears and speakers. Step 2B: Or you can play it back on the computer, using 5.1 soundcards or normal ones, Use PowerDVD, WinDVD or similar software that can decode DTS and connect your soundcard to the surround speakers. Now enjoy the music.
