Re: How Does 20th Century Radio Upscale their OTR Shows?

In Sound Forge which I use, the stereoize effect is called psuedo stereo, 
because it spreads the sound out and puts some milliseconds delay between the 
left and right channels.

Re: Marley Get Together Bluetooth Speaker

Ah could it be a play on Bob Marley? Get it? Cause the Marley name? Also 
1 of his songs was the get together 1. The 1 that says something about 
let's get together and feel alright.

Hey,

I just recently got this new bluetooth speaker and thought I'd quickly rave 
about it. It is made by a company called Marley and is called Get Together. I 
picked it up because it was in my price range. It cost me $180 at a Canadian 
store called Visions Electronics. The guy said it goes for about $209. This is 
in Canadian dollars. I love the sound of it. It has a good amount of bass and 
is very clear. I also like it because it makes a sound when it turns on, turns 
off and connects to a device. I just thought I'd mention it to anybody who's 
looking for a nice bluetooth speaker. Best,

If the effect sounds good why do anything to fix it.

Sounds well beyond my brain capacity.

I just like hearing how Richard Diamond sounds so different when the files
are encoded this way. Does destroy the nostalgia feel though.

What program is used to create such an effect. Just would like to play with
a few files to see how different the main characters sound in stereo.

If you get a file like this and want to fix it, you can just pan one 
channel to the center while muting the other. I've heard the term 
stereoize to describe what you're hearing, and I try to fix this 
whenever I come across a file like this. If you simply convert one 
of these files to mono without muting one of the channels, then the 
file has a weird sound quality to it because of the channel delay 
being pressed into one channel.

Hello,

I'm one who enjoys listening to OTR shows on my Victor Reader Stream 
2 on a daily basis.


I'm noticing a few of the stations (20th Century Radio for instance) 
seem to be broadcasting their stream in stereo. Very odd for I know 
that most, if not all OTR shows were recorded in momo.


How are they able to get low quality momo files to sound this good?

Would love to know their secret for I have a few mystery Old Time 
Radio shows I'd love to hear in stereo (Lights Out and Inner Sanctum 
in particular.)


Any ideas?
