The mix produced by VLC (or whatever) to 2.0 is going to be different to what a produced in a studio decided on, so it will sound different to the same album produced for 2.0 playback.<br /><br /> A CD is generally produced to sound 'good' on a variety of playback devices - a posh stereo, a car CD player, a noisy shop etc. When mixing for 5.1, a lot of those devices can be ignored so the decisions on the mix are a bit more straightforward in that respect.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41892.9&return_msg=41892.9" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41892.9"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41892_10"></a><div class="message" id="message_41892_10"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Manthorp<span class="message_time"> 6 Mar 2017 15:37</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">10 of 19</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41892.10">41892.10</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Thanks WmA & Kos for thoughts. No, Wm, I've not been that forensic about it. <br /><br /> When I started to wonder if it was a thing, I listened to a couple of CDs and DTSs side by side (Foxtrot by Genesis, God help me, and Revolver by the Beatles) I was very familiar with both, so maybe it was just that a different mix drew my attention to different bits. But I still preferred it in both cases.

The bass guitar is way more discernable, while still maintaining the quailty of vocals as before.<br /><br /> There's also a Dolby Digital stereo track, but I couldn't tell any difference between that and the original.<br /><br /> I'd like to try it with the sub on too, and with some more complex tracks. I've got Nick Cave's Dig, Lazarus, Dig in 5.1, which sounds awesome and I'll try that out when I've got some free time.<br /><br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41892.15&return_msg=41892.9" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41892.15"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41892_16"></a><div class="message" id="message_41892_16"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Manthorp<span class="message_time"> 8 Mar 2017 00:05</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 8 Mar 2017 08:06"></span></span> <span class="message_count">16 of 19</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41892.16">41892.16</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41892.9#a41892_15" target="_self">41892.15</a></div> <div class="message_body"> You vindicate me.
