Go to film-tech.com. Download the Dolby CP-50 manual. Look at the

Sounds tricky.


Y'know, if I'd practiced more, maybe I would have had to know all this.

In the late eighties this sort of thing was all the rage. Everybody wanted to
make their own matrix surround tracks and nobody wanted to pay Dolby the
licensing fee for the encoder. There were lots of aftermarket fake Dolby
encoders sold, and a lot of homebrews. But now we have 5.1 and nobody much
bothers with any of that junk except as an afterthought for the occasional
film optical track.

So, it's sort of like the Phil Collins Drum Sound in that regard...
