i have a creative 7.1 speakers and i only get the sorround effect when playing high end games .
so to get that kind of sorround sound experience for songs , what format should i download ?
Flac or DTS files ?
and if its DTS music , which tracker has plenty of songs in DTS ? :unsure:
thanks
you'd have to get DTS music discs. i'm not sure how the ripping process is like cus i've never ripped them before. anyway, a quick google search showed that there isn't any 7.1 music. it's mostly 5.1 dts.
you will get music in 5.1. i personally listen to it on my creative inspire 5.1 system and its just amazing. the most common source is to download the music dvds/or buy them ofcourse :P. hd bits has a few tracks in dolby digital 5.1 which i download. i would love to know if there are any other sites even though i doubt it. your next best option would be lossless music
Why are you posting this in the Bittorrent section?

also, 99% of the lossless music on the net is 2 channel. personally, i'm using 5.1 speakers, but i see no reason to hunt for 5.1 music.

no it won't really sound much better imo. a good source and the quality of the speakers are far more important than whether it's 5.1 or no. i suggest just sticking with lossless 2channel music if u're a quality fiend. that's the highest, practical level for music. 5.1 is overkill but that's just me.Quote:

well after you listen to 5.1 music, you will realize the difference. its just amazing quality. try listening to Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon in quadraphonic sound. absolutely mind blowing! bands like floyd have to be listened to in 5.1 to be enjoyed completely. theres such a huge pleothra of sound effects. but if you just listen to new age stuff or pop, 5.1 is not for you. as for the OP, trance will definitely sound brilliant on 5.1
dont listen to these guys m8, people are not stupid to download 4 gigs of a DVD-A. the best deserve the best i say :yup:Quote:

thanks a lot mate :) . found some torrents on mininova too

:yahoo::yahoo::clap::clap:
thats teh way baby! amazing isnt it? pretty hard to go back to normal mp3s or even lossless for that matter. i have the dvds of pulse as well. nothing like a joint with pink floyd :D
:yup: :)Quote:

Bikernin is also right on target, in that DVD-A's take sound fidelity into a whole new dimension with MLP encoding. Some artists, such as Jean Michel Jarre, have written several works specifically for 5.1 surround. Aero is a particularly good DVD-A, imo.
The best source of 5.1 surround music by far, was Demonoid. I have looked everywhere for something even close, and have been disappointed every time. For your sake, J-dye, I hope Demonoid comes back soon, so that you and others could fully develop your appreciation for 5.1 surround music.
demonoid ofcourse..i prefer not to talk about it since it makes me sad :( very sad :( you could get literally everything there. im pretty sure if it went on longer, we could have beer, money and hot chicks on there as well. what more does a guy need eh? o yea, 5.1 DTS music ofcourse :D
still have to depend on public trackers for 5.1 audio :(
found some here http://thepiratebay.org/search/5.1%20dts/0/99/100
:D
is there any group which releases 5.1 audio , scene or non-scene ?
DTS 5.1 > lossless ;)
no scene group that i know of. its homemade rips on different sites you need to depend on.
try waffles or what m8.
lossless dosent come close :P
It's funny, cause lately I was seeking to downgrade to a stereo system to listen to music.
All the freakin stores only sell silly surround sound... which, to me, is anti-musical.
i have to agree. when it comes to music, i prefer a good stereo system with the sound coming from the front.Quote:

i could imagine listen to some dub sounds (mad professor for example) in surround.
when you visit a concert you always have a stage situation with the music coming from the front. you are not amongst the musicians. there's no sound coming from the rear left or right or even from behind.
classical orchestras are setup in a way that the audience sitting in front of the stage can get the best sound. same goes for jazz and rock. we are used to listen to music and see the source of the sound. that's why you you sit in front of your main speakers and don't have them in the back.
p.a. systems are always in front of you. not on the sides or in the back.
stereo deals with the front left/right effect. anything more is unnatural.
i have a tube stereo amplifier for music with a pair of high end loudspeakers. it beats all the surround crap when it comes to music.
watching movies means you as the viewer can take the position of the camera in the scene.
just like in real life a car, an explosion or a voice can come from all directions. this is where any form of surround sound makes sense, but not for music.
I know this is asking about torrents but alt.binaries.sounds.DTS has a few in.
im not realy a music buff and just found this room about 2 minutes ago lol if you want to see whats there , then follow this link

I have got a set of logitech Z-5500 speakers so might have to grab some and see what the fuss is about :)
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/sp...s/224&cl=gb,en
speakers i have got are there.
for live shows etc. i think stereo is just about fine. as i mentioned earlier you really need to hear a band like pink floyd on 5.1 to discover what its like. otherwise it would just sound as if sound is coming from all directions. there are so many effects in their songs that i didnt even know were there until i heard them in surround sound. so for people who like psy trance, it will surely be a huge plus since these kinds of music are more about creating a certain atmosphere than just listening to someone play.Quote:

all said and done, if someone already has a 5.1 setup, wouldnt he rather listen to a real 5.1 DTS track rather than stereo sound coming from all directions? i agree it dosent make sense to buy a 5.1 system just to listen to music, because its mainly intended for movies. but if you already have one, listening to a 5.1 track is a far more complete experience. anyway, i cant have two sets of speakers right?
