    Well, well, we all recognise this sound, how can we forget, just read though this and see if you can make heads and tails of it. I’m sure you have plenty of laserdiscs and DVD sitting around with sounds that have eluded you?

    I think gating and additional techniques like keeping the surrounds active during most films where some mixes mute surrounds. For example (A View to A Kill) during the opening credits, not too sure about the newer DVD editions where some have altered the mix, you know the re-mix.

    Feeding the information from the fronts in a matrix form requires Dolby pro-logic some re-plugging and extra surround loudspeaker’s or you can uses a stereo audio mixer and use the inputs alone with the (pan pots) to send the signals to the same surround loudspeakers with the usual discrete surrounds or split-surrounds, follow?

    And adjust the levels outputting to the mixer from the fronts the usual Dolby matrix surround ambiance that keeps the liveliness of the film active and surrounding, until discrete surround information comes into the mix.

    Films like Forest Gump hardly uses surround, practically during the (rain effects) where that’s only covered by the fronts LCR.

    This is something I tired out last year with great affect it really worked well, but a few extra items like gating some of the signals frequency response with different thresholds, this would work very well. Take a film like Apollo 13, during the moments at mission control if you listen very carefully very, you’ll hear voices on the surrounds that sounds like the actual transcripts from the real Apollo 13 incident.

    Now I’ve been thinking what would it take to make the frequency range of the specific range without blaring out loudly when cutting back to the CM command module?

    There you are a few things you can quiz yourselves over the rest of the day, don’t talk, just pop on of the films in the laserdisc player of DVD and listen.

    Well a pen always comes in handy to do quick nail sketches!

    Anyway I’m very busy listening to Star Trek III and the split-surrounds and only the (surrounds) hmm filtering some parts of the frequency range though some gates while sending it though a mixer with some audio limiters attached?

    You know I still think Dolby A or SR is still a good thing like the Dolby 363. Why well, can hear hiss on some films!

    On occasions I see these been sold at cinema site supplier here in the UK at a crazy price.
