In Reply to: They don't create multichannel soundtracks out of thin air, they created them... posted by jeffreybehr on February 27, 2006 at 21:28:18:
While I'm not an expert, I'd wager most old films that are typically featured in mono only have a mono soundtrack to work with. Going beyond mono in filmmaking was likely a complex proposition back in the day. I think that's the type of movie the original poster was referring to.Even with stereo soundtracks, the stereo effect is usually the result of the manual panning of sounds recorded in mono (just like most music recordings). It could be easily considered a "phony" effect, but that's nitpicking.
Bottom line: if it was recorded in mono, don't mess with it. (Though I have to admit some bias since I don't use a surround audio system. I'm more than happy with two very nice channels and a video projector.)
Also, thanks for the spelling lesson; you are correct. I'd like to return the favor: try "discrete" and "phony" next time ;)
