your headphones would have to be setup to image the sound of 5.1 channels into just left and right.

or you could have 5 monitors positioned around you.

then again, it's going to sound different to everyone in the room, depending on where they are.

vestax has a quadraphonic mixer i wouldn't mind trying out:

you set it up with two identical amps and two sets of speakers, and can control where the sound comes from using a joystick.

What kind of source would one realistically need to do this? Lots of the cheap/badly produced DVD-Audio disks tend to simply put one instrument in each speaker.. what could a DJ do with some sort of multichannel technology? Any idea how it would work? What sort of effects could be done to a pre-existing DVD-Audio or SACD disk that is already playing in multichannel? What about mixing samples individually into different channels?

Multichannel SACD's *tend* to be "meant" to reproduce a seamless image, IE, you can't tell that the music is coming from 5 speakers, because it immerses you naturally.. but a DJ wouldn't want that, would they? They would want a strong channel seperation, so you can control exactly whats coming from where.. it'd be too complicated otherwise..

*Frowns*

Has anyone seen Blue Man Group live? Or heard the DD5.1 or DVD-Audio mix in full surround sound? I'm thinking that might provide *some* inspiration.. the question is, how to do that live with just a bunch of digital equipment and some ingenuity..

I vote other, i think that in the future final-scratch or similar will become the standard.

A question.. have any of you *heard* an audiophile-set up vinyl system? or a SACD or DVD-A system? I'm curious...

you've all missed out DAT!

however i think vinyl is here to stay, and maybe something more hardwearing will be invented to press onto in the future

vinyl is the standered among the professionals and it won't be changing for a long time. It'll take alot of politics to change from vinyl. but all things do change eventually. I think if it changes it'll be to some sort of "digital" form of vinyl such as final scratch or something similar.
