How can you not have multichannel system

And music reporter's take at: http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2003-10-09-dylan-master_x.htm

Even the Communist Chinese understand and appreciate what multichannel sacd brings to the music (see the following site, http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-12/09/content_288700.htm). I could go on and on and if some of you naysayers properly researched the subject, you will ultimately find the site that plainly penetrates your neanderthal minds, that multichannel sacds are re-mixed from the ORIGINAL TAKES, AND NOT FROM THE released STEREO MIX. It is no wonder to me, after reading the posts under this thread, that the Chinese are on the ascent and we are on the descent. Have a good day, and be smug with your two channel systems. OUT

The movie "Sweet Dreams" (based on the life of Patsy Cline) is an interesting example of what can be done with remixing. It was discovered that the original master tapes of her singing in an isolation booth existed in good condition, although the accompaning instrumental tracks were in less good condition, and somewhat dated in performance techniques. For the movie soundtrack a remix was done using Patsy's original voice track with parts of the instrumental tracks and also some brand new instrumental tracks. The result can be heard on MCAD-6149 DIDX-424. (By the way Jessica Lange did a superb job of lip syncing in the movie, which I recommend as well as the CD). The remix was done by a who's-who of Nashville sound men.

Another remix that I think is interesting is a DVDA "Emmylou Harris, Producer's Cut". This was done by her former husband Brian Ahern. There is on the disc an extensive video with Brian where he explains how and why the multichannel remix was done. Again, some new tracks were added.

By the way, apart from the technical interest, both discs are nice music.
