Verdict on 360 reality audio of sony

 

Firstly, having heard Ohtaki’s Long Vacation Koisuru Karen in 360 audio of youtube, I have found it is less impactful, the sound is somewhat distant, and a surround effect is created, but not very pleasantly. Perhaps I would use the VST plugin to create my own mastering, rather better than what Sony Tokyo studio can do.

Overall, the DSD based SBMD version remains best. I surmise that the 360 version is remastered based on the DSD. The CD ver reveals enough details, without even needing to go surround in a fake way.

So I am not impressed. The in the head effect is lessened, but with detriment to sound quality. Further, most people won’t have the surround systems for 360 anyway. This could overlap with DSEE AI, in that an automatic conversion into surround sound is possible.

What happened to binaural recording, which Xperia once pushed via the earphone mics? Why go back to a traditional format, and compete with Atmos?
