HQ Rip Idea [Concept] Super Audio CD Takeover (Version 05 Revision 01)
Up until now, to current knowledge we haven't witnessed neither a Takeover nor Album that is fully produced in Six Channel (05.01) Surround Sound; YouTube has natively supported the upload of media with Six Channel audio for many years, with Sony MVC being one of the best codecs to encode with to have it be picked up correctly (as well as become properly downloadable in 05.01 via 4KDownload's Video Downloader and VD Plus) and the media player presenting it under either the AC3 or EAC3 format for decoding, there aren't a lot of channels that have made use of it but this is absolutely a demographic that is increasing in presence and for the Music sector it is able to introduce many to experiences that were once only available to those who had invested into Super Audio CD during its original run.
Since August of 2022, I have been gradually integrating Surround Sound into my own works full~time, and especially where music is concerned this will eventually expand into both my original compositions and Mashup Mixes alike to enhance older works for this playback practice; with this kept in mind for the past few years, it has made me wonder what could be done on this front for the High Quality Rip side of the Remixing scene, making use of Six Channel audio as opposed to Stereo would make it easier to point out certain samples/sources and the editing process would absolutely become more complex in a good way because of how much could now be injected (I am really curious as to how some of you would experiment with the LFE/Subwoofer for more obscure and exotic references), the only question from there would be in pertinence to which titles would get rips for such an album or takeover (with Blood (1997) and Actua Golf II being two of the earliest to support 05.01 natively on PC, so those will have to get some love) and the rest is pretty self~explanatory to bring it to the masses.
This would also enhance the production standard that SiIvaGunner currently uses, as at the time of typing I don't know if it has a set template for any track that is mastered in anything above Stereo and thus having something in play for Six Channel and beyond would set the stage for every future concept; having this in play now will make it more seamless for when the time comes for 024 Channel rips to start making their way to the forefront, NHK was really on to something phenomenal when it developed this for the Super Hi~Vision broadcasting standard and to hear every source and instrument on its own individual speaker will deliver a true Cinematic experience for those who can make ideal use of the hardware.
