Re: [SurroundSound] Anyone see the new recording software being made by Sony?

Not to belittle this... hope its as good as they claim...  But technically, its simply not possible.  Yes hard panned Beatles could feasibly be fairly convincingly separated, but tthe rest is simply a pipe dream.  I still firmly believe this kind of tech could be used to create stems that could be mixed, but the result would simply improve directionality, not be discrete.

I'm sorry I can't recall where I saw this so I can't link (my bad).  But I saw a demo on the internet yesterday.  The software (apparently with help from Sony) takes a stereo track and can isolate any sound from the track.  So let's say you have some 1968 Beatles you want to do in 5.1 but no multitracks.  You are now able to completely isolate the individual instruments and it is VERY convincing.  In fact they used the Beatles in the demo.  The vocals were completely isolated from stereo tracks, and other music was set to it.  Then they showed how they could isolate other instruments/sounds from the rest of the recording.  These were straight from CD, not studio tracks.  I was thinking for things like Aja where the multis are missing, this could mean a proper 5.1 mix, even if it's done by SBU or what have you.  I was pretty amazed.  They can literally isolate just about anything in the recording.  Very impressive.
