Any of you out there fans of the art of taking stereo recordings and up-mixing them to surround or DTS for playback on a 5.1 home theater system? I have finally set up my home system, and have been obtaining some very interesting fan-made DTS and 5.0 conversions of classic albums. It's more then just making a fake 4-way audio picture with left and right channels. At least it seems much more involved by what I am hearing within the audio picture. The sound separation and effect on some of The Beatles and Pink Floyd albums are truly impressive. The fan creators do this up-mixing by using audio software such as Adobe Audition or Nuendo 4, and free plug-ins like VST plugin suite.

I would love to learn more about this possess, and try up-mixing some film soundtracks on my own. "Blade Runner", "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Thunderball" would be at the top of my list. But, there are so many great powerful soundtracks that would be thrilling in surround.

Before I start on such a intensive research project, I wanted to check around here first, and see if any of you had any personal favorite fan made Surround or DTS conversions. It does not have to be limited to Soundtracks, it can be any style of music.
