Overview



SRS Labs en busca de un revolucionario modo de grabación y reproducción de audio.

SRS Labs, conocido por sus sistemas de sonido ambiental virtuales está proponiendo un revolucionario modelo para grabación y reproducción musical basado en objetos. Hace tiempo yo le comentaba a algunos amigos sobre un sistema en que los canales se definiran por instrumento y su rango de frecuencias, creo que esto es algo similar.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2398588,00.asp

La propuesta se basa en la idea de audio multidimensional, que se enfoca en el audio en términos de objetos, en lugar de canales (como sucede con estéreo - dos canales - o sonido envolvente de 5.1 canales). En lugar de mezclar pistas individuales de instrumentos en una canción, o mezclar sonido ambiental, efectos de sonido y diálogo en la pista sonora de una película, el ingeniero toma esos trozos de audio y los dirige exactamente a donde van en la configuración física de las bocinas del escucha, así como la intensidad con la que deben reproducirse.

En otra spalabras, en lugar de que el ingeniero produzca un producto final estático, que se reproduce del mismo modo independientemente de que sistema lo está reproduciendo - pudiendo ser un mal sistema o estar mal configurado - el ingeniero produce un conjunto de meta-datos, completo con instrucciones digitales de donde y como los trozos musicales se reproducen. Entonces un "renderer" compatible con MDA, sea via software o interno en equipos de audio para consumidor, decodifica los datos de modo correcto para el sistema de reprducción del usuario.

Esto a la vez permitiria que las personas pudieran tener eventualmente la posibilidad de crear sus propias versiones echando mano de su propia creatividad y gusto.



"...multi-dimensional audio, which focuses on audio in terms of objects, instead of in channels (such as two-channel stereo, or 5.1-channel surround sound). Rather than mixing individual instrument tracks in a song, or mixing ambient sound, sound effects, and dialog in a movie's audio track, the engineer instead takes those audio pieces and directs exactly where they go in the listener's physical speaker configuration, as well as how loud they play."



"In other words, instead of an engineer producing a finished, static mix that plays back the same way regardless of how the playback system is setup—and if the playback system isn't any good or set up incorrectly, tough luck—the engineer produces a finished bundle of meta-data, complete with digital instructions on where and how all of the audio pieces play. Then an MDA-compatible renderer, either in software or built into consumer electronics components, decodes it properly for the listener's playback system."

La reconocida y gustada grabación Cantate Domino ahora en HDtracks

Cantate Domino, una grabación del sello Proprius, clásica y muy gustada entre audiófilos por muchos años ya ha sido incluída en el catálogo de HDtracks según informa Enjoy The Music.


HDtracks now has the famous Proprius audiophile recording label's Cantate Donio as performed by Marianne Mellnas, Alf Linder and the Oscar's Motet Choir in 24-bit/88kHz! Cantate Domino, recorded by legendary sound engineer Bertil Alving in 1976, is widely regarded as one of the greatest audiophile masterpieces ever recorded. Opening with Enrico Bossi's "Cantate Domino" for choir, organ, trumpets and trombones, the choral album includes a number of Swedish folk songs as well as pieces by Handel, Otto Olsson, and others. The famous reference record is now made even better with this new hi-definition release.

Reference Recordings publica su primer SACD multicanal.

Buenas noticias para los aficionados a este formato.

BRITTEN'S ORCHESTA
Michael Stern / Kansas City Symphony
RR-120SACD

Benjamin Britten:
The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra
Sinfonia da requiem
Peter Grimes: Four Sea Interludes and Passacaglia

This production has garnered top notch reviews in more than 15 publications for the compact disc release - most recently in The Absolute Sound magazine:

"Britten's Orchestra...is not only deeply satisfying on a musical level, but will also, I predict, become an instant 'demo' disc classic. Great music and great sound -- now that's my kind of 'audiophile' recording." -Wayne Garcia

RR's ROAD TO HIGH-RES MULTICHANNEL: Reference Recordings has a virtually unbroken history of making the finest possible high resolution recordings. We started with analogue tape. We were not satisfied with early technology, 16 bit digital recordings, but soon began making HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital) recordings, in which the process was co-designed by our own recording guru Keith O. Johnson. In the opinion of many, these are the best digital recordings ever. Currently we record digitally at 176.4 kHz/24 bit, with HDCD. More than 20 of our masters were recorded both two-channel and multi-channel. RR's master recordings are made using PCM, not the DSD which is the native format for SACD. For a long time, we weren't satisfied with the sonic results of the conversion of PCM to DSD and so we did not make SACDs. New technological improvements now make that conversion much less of an issue. We're excited to be making SACDs for fans of the format. Our first two releases (RR-906SACD and RR-71SACD ) were Two-Channel Hybrids. Now, this new release of Britten's Orchestra will let music lovers and audiophiles hear our masters in full 5.1 Surround Sound for the first time! The Hybrid SACD also contains a stereo SACD version as well as a Compact Disc version, encoded with HDCD.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The SACD stereo and multichannel layers require an SACD player; the CD layer will play on any CD player.
