The last few weeks I heard some excellent conversions and wondered which method was used. It occurs to be a complete new rewritten old method, but the improvements are spectacular. From all methods published here or on other forum, this is the first where the sound is completely artefacts free, no colorization, no distortion and ..... depending on the source excellent separation !
What I heard was so damn good that one particular track fooled me into believing it was a commercial release !!
(it was Platinum part 1 by Mike Oldfield).
We all know there can be 3 methods distinguished :
1. commercial releases mixed in the studio from the mastertapes
2. software upmixing based on the soundfield (Ambisonics and related)
3. software upmixing that gives a sense of (and sometimes real) separation .
The disadvantage of #2 is that depending on the source it can tend to sound like double stereo. A good source is essential here.
The disadvantage of #3 is that to separate instruments , it will always have impact on other instruments in the same tone range and this can lead to artefacts and other unwanted distortions.
This new method is a #3 method, without the disadvantages !
The sound remains clear and bright and the separation can really amaze even the strongest criticaster !
Enough samples can be found on Usenet. (alt.binaries.sounds.dts)
I just found the method....
