adding LFE to GOUT (Released) — Page 5

Thanks for the 'review'! :)

No low-end freqs was redirected during the upmix.

I don't know the technicalities of active matrix decoding, so I don't know if it favors some frequencies 'by default', I mean maybe it puts more of the 'voice freqs' in the center channel, making them seem louder?

One question though: Did you listen to the 2.0 as stereo or did you run it through a hardware dpl/dpl2/neo6/etc decoder?

With the DC48 track, my receiver takes the Digital 2.0 from optical S/PDIF and automatically detects and decodes it as Prologic and I have 5 speakers (L,C,R,LS,RS) plus a powered subwoofer. So I was listening to it as proper surround, not just 2 channel/2 speakers. I might be able to force it to Prologic II, but I didn't think Prologic II was around in 1993.

No, but I believe dpl2 is supposed to be 'backwards compatible' and is preferred even for older surround mixes.
I wouldn't mind hearing someones thoughts on a comparison of the two (and maybe also neo6 and what have you).

By the way, did you use the latest version of ATSurround 1.0? Do you know if there is a big difference in output between that and the older freeware 0.1.6a? Would the AS2 setting be the equivalent of the active matrix you used? Or ASr?

Yes I did use the latest version, some of the settings were renamed and there's only one active matrix setting, I'm not quite sure which of the older ones it corresponds to..

Hi, are these available anywhere still? Would love the full bitrate Return of the Jedi DTS. 😃

Hey, if you can reasonably bring things back to life, why not? 😛 The thread really is a fascinating window into the past.
