Chris' Quadrophonic Lady Land ReQuad Session

Chris' Quadrophonic Lady Land ReQuad Session:

I wanted to find a Quad Mix in Jimi Hendrix: Electric Ladyland and am now dumbfounded! 

What did I find?

Electric Ladyland was mastered in surround.

How do I know this?

I remastered it in DTS, which is a surround sound format, using tools that I have bought over the years...Adobe Audition 3 and surcode and the actual Electric Ladyland Stereo CD.

OK come on how do you really know this?

Well at first when I played the ReQuad it sounded like Super Stereo with Quad effects built in..I kept looking for Quad Surround and was dumbfounded that when I stood about a foot from the mixing console "front" it all came out in surround Quad!!!!

What did it sound like?

...And The Gods Made Love: has the surround effects of traveling through a wormhole...but only standing where the original mastering was done, at the console right by the front speakers!!! There is zero surround and stereo at the back speaker listening perspective and I originally was disappointed with the difference between headphone and DTS through my stereo, but it's all fine now...it feels like sitting at a console mixing the album..it's an amazing sound!

 Warning


You can download the audio I worked on "as is" and I hold "no copyright" on this audio it is not mine I did not create it I just requad'd it for my own mastering practice and it's a good hobby of mine. Please only download if you already own a copy of Jimi Hendrix: Electric Lady Land. Do not steal or illegally download and this is for fans of Quadrophonic Study. Love and Peace and remember this was finished in just six hours and stand by the mixing console by the front monitors to get in the mix. Jimi lives!
