"Take a walk within the walls of my mind and watch my thoughts ravage the spaces between the walls"

5.1 Production8/12/2018 I never really thought I would be in this type of situation, but not once did I ever imagine myself creating music in 5.1 surround sound. The order of channels in a 5.1 file is different across file formats. The order in wav files is Front Left, Front Right, Center, Low-frequency effects, Surround Left, Surround Right. It is ideal to use five matched speakers with the same levels in order to achieve proper localization and equability of all acoustic sources for a centered positioned audience. In the image above, the placement of the identical speakers can be observed. Now why on earth would I want to make a song in 5.1? Well, it's part of my intensive this trimester. In this intensive I have been paired with two other producers who have their own style and vision of production. This was difficult since we needed to create a minimum of 7 minutes worth of audio EACH. That's right, our EP had to be at least 21 minutes long and had to flow through each song effortlessly. |
