The rese arch has bee n add ressed in o rder t o achieve a “surround” tr idimensio nal recording encoded on just 2 tr acks and the pos sibilit y to decode the result back on 4 channels using a standard Prologic decoder. In this way use rs are able to record on location with a normal 2 track DAT recorder on the field and then rebuild the original spatialization during the post-pro sessions. If correctly balanced,X-Techniquesdo not need to be Dolby surround encoded, thus completely preserving bandwidth and d ynamic of original recordings. Besides LCRS encoding, this application is very useful for 5.1 producti ons a s well and s ince the encoded tr acks a re stereo compa tible, it becomes a very practical task to monitor and distribute such material using for example a standard audio CD. X-Techniques have been created in order to obtain the most effective motion along the speakers: specific techniques have be en de veloped for different kinds o f situation li ke n atural envir onm ents, mo tions, ci ty t rax etc. The development of these techniques has been mainly addressed to the entertainment industry and it’s not intended for med ical or scienti fic pur pose s. So we have: - som e techniques that enha nce certain kinds of m otions (like a car “pass b y” in a city tr ack); -others that surround the listener (like in a rain storm); -some others that really separate the dominance of the sources in the dimensional space (like in a natural jung le environmen t where yo u may he ar mayb e a bird on the ba ck, an ins ect on the le ft et c.).
