Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater 10,000 Days in DTS 5.1?

hello all Tool fans,

I have downloaded, via torrent, what claims to be 10,000 Days in DTS 5.1. I can't listen to it until I get home tomorrow night.

If I google it, I get nothing but torrents for it. No info whatsoever, and I can't find it on amazon.

Has anyone downloaded this? Heard it? Heard of it?

I bet that's just internet puffery to get you to download that version. Looks like no such recording exists, unless some techy took the regular version of the album and converted it into DTS, which would likely have no sonic benefit, and might not be as good as just a regular DVD/CD version.

I would just listen to the cd personally

I agree, my days of cheating are long over. How would you like to be a musician and have someone stealing/downloading your music.

sirquack,

I'd buy it in DTS if I could buy it. I'm pretty sure it's a fan remix.

I do own the regular CD.

Musicians are stuck making most of their money touring these days. Check out the info posted by Trent from the giveway or purchase for better quality of the new Saul Williams album. When given the chance, most people don't pay.

cool, no problem, I may have misunderstood... I used to spend a lot of time downloading stuff off limewire, napster, back in the day, just more important things going on now in my life to worry about a fine....

I still prefer to own the CD or DVD then I can break it down from there to what ever I need. Once it is downloaded in ripped form you never get back what is taken out and I find it noticeable.

he says he owns the regular cd. The 5.1 dvd is supposedly some kind of 'fan remix' so it is not available to buy.

I would question the quality of the 5.1 mix.

Let me know how it sounds if you did end up listening to it.

I've had mediocre luck with "special 5.1 mixes" of songs that I love and own in 2.0. A lot of the ones I've come across that are out there seem to just be more of a 2.0 mix just sending the right channel to both the front and rear right channels, and the left channel to both the front and rear left channels. Then they "mux" the right and left together for the center channel and usually trim out the low end and increase the higher frequencies, and then take any low frequencies and try to put them to the sub...

Most aren't very good and could be done yourself with some audio processing mode right on your receiver with the original CD.

The best 5.1 mixes you have to pay for, or at least are available for sale.
