THX Bounty - 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus Audio - 2003 @soundsack5400

Sound Sack Since Youtube supports 5.1 sound now, I thought I'd upload this bootleg I captured a long time back at the theater. NOTE: 5.1 audio playback will require that you use the Youtube App on some device, I don't think the web browser running on a laptop hooked to your TV will work but feel free to let me know if it does. Anyway, the video was captured with a camera running at 24 frames per second pointed at the screen, so it looks pretty bad. Not much to see anyway. The audio I recorded directly from a Dolby Digital DA20 I believe, or perhaps a DTS unit, I can't quite remember. I do recall I had to record two tracks at a time to MiniDisc. I combined them all together to make a 6-track DVD and that's basically what this is.

Plagiarism in Video Game Music?

Sound Sack 2021-08-30 | Have you ever noticed that some video game music sounds like music that already existed from bands or other solo artists? Could these games have been inspired by that music? This video explores a bunch of different fun examples.

My MiniDisc Mix Tapes

Sound Sack 2021-08-16 | Here I talk about a few on my MiniDics I and some friends made back in the mid-to-late 90s while providing short samples of the music directly from the MiniDiscs themselves. Not a comprehensive look at MiniDiscs as a format or anything.
