Tech Heads NOTE: McCain TV spot is mixed in 5.1 sound!

[Rick Myers]

Very few TV spots are mixed in 5.1 due to the added cost and opinion that very few spots benefit from it...

Found it odd, but it looks like McCain is tossing around big bucks.

1. So now we can hear how dull he is in glorious surround sound.

Excellent. Full-immersion boredom is so much better than the old-fashioned monaural kind.

2. Did they also edit out

the cracks and shakiness in his voice?

3. A non-tech head like does not understand

[Rick Myers]

4. It just seems like a waste of cash...

It costs alot more to do a 5.1 mix than a standard stereo mix. Most home systems can make 5.1 from software, but a REAL 5.1 mix stands out. Mostly just moving the soundtrack and focusing the dialogue.

5. Does it make that whistling sound he produces on S sounds

any more tolerable? If so, it's money well-spent.
