RE: Looking for inmate opinions about multichannel

"Listening to any of the old 3.0 recordings from RCA or Mercury vs. their 2.0 equivalents from the same SACD remaster makes this quite obvious."
The center channel was recorded to master mono recordings of the same session as the stereo.Mercury and rca never meant for all 3 channels to be listened to. If you do the center channel should be dropped down 6db. This is what they did when they mixed the 3 track to 2 track. Another reason they did 3 tracks was that the RCA recorder they used had three tracks. They easily could have accomplished the same quality using 3 mikes mixed down to 2 channels
