hiya all, off topic I know but hey that never seems to be an issue here .... In this vast array of musicians has anyone recorded in DTS audio yet ? A few weeks ago there was a thread discussing 'octophonic' recording where 5.1 digital surround was discussed but no mention of DTS. I am a film fanatic (when I'm not playing guitar) and enjoy a pretty good home cinema setup. I have DTS decoders and until last week though this was fantastic for films.... then I found a DTS audio disk of The Police. Now I like the Police ... not a huge fan but it's easy listening compared to what I would usually listen to... BUT OMG it is fantastic .... the clarity of sound and separation of instruments is awesome. Think of your favourite all time music track ... well, you know how the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you hear it ? It had that effect on me immediately and continually ever since. If you have not yet experienced this I urge you to visit your local Home Cinema specialist and ask for a demo of a DTS audio recording - it will cost you nothing and I guarantee you will be impressed. Since then I have done a little research in this area as I would like to produce some of my recordings in DTS format. I have found some software which will take six digital audio tracks (Left front, left right, centre, rear left, rear right and sub-bass) and produces a DTS disk image which when recorded to CDR media can be inserted into a DVD player and so long as a DTS decoder is present in the setup you will hear it in full 'certified' DTS. (The process for techies is called DTS encoding) I know this will take a time to prepare the digital audio tracks initially but the software I have seen is relatively cheap (it's called SurCode CD Professional software encoder for DTS Digital Surround) at $499 Url for anyone else interested is: http://www.minnetonkaaudio.com/SurCode_CD_Pro_3.htm Does anyone out there already use this ? If so how about a quick review from your perspective ? I would also be interested in any info anyone has on recordings of this nature. Many thanks Love this list ...
