Quote | Sounds daft but a 5.1 mix will only sound different with a 5.1 set up and full decoding presumably? Both the above are just plain old stereo which is fine. I guess my mediaplayer would support a 5.1 mix, but with just headphones would this actually make a difference? |
So, the 5.1 mix is actually quite different, even when mixed back down to stereo in your media player and listening on headphones. Similarly with all of the 5.1 remixes from the Deluxe Editions, it's a remix from scratch from the multi-tracks and some parts are edited out, the balance is different, new things have appeared or disappeared...
I made proper stereo downmixes of FMO, Crises and 1984 Suite (which had not been downmixed to stereo very well on the official release), let me know if you want to have a listen and I'll send you a link
