Actually, I think the remarks below represent a bit of a misconception about stereo playback. In actuality, if one used more speakers one could make stereo playback better in the sense that one could widen the spot in which it sounded reasonably correct.
in theory, you can. in practice, you can't, because you'd have to know what stereo technique was used during recording, and have to do totally different things to derive your extra speaker feeds. as usual, when the signal is co-incident, i.e. blumlein, xy or pan-potted mono, getting a center feed is easy, just mix 'em.
trying that on AB recordings is a recipe for disaster. -- Jörn Nettingsmeier Lortzingstr. 11, 45128 Essen, Tel. +49 177 7937487 Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik (Bühne/Studio), Elektrofachkraft Audio and event engineer - Ambisonic surround recordings http://stackingdwarves.net _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
