For years, audiophiles have requested a multi-channel re-release of Round-Up more than any other Telarc recording, according to veteran Telarc engineer Michael Bishop. However, true to the standard Telarc recording style of the time, the music of Round-Up had been recorded direct to stereo only, and no multi-track source master exists from which to derive a surround mix. Bishop attempted various engineering experiments over the years in an effort to manipulate the original recordings and create a Surround mix. Results were marginally successful at best, and the fidelity of the original recording invariably suffered as a result.
But Telarc found a way. "That you are now holding Round-Up on SACD shows a Surround mix from the stereo sources was produced to our satisfaction," says Bishop, who isn't about to give up any trade secrets beyond a general explanation. "Suffice it to say these new mixes were made without 'unfolding', and without degrading the integrity of the original recording. In fact, sonic improvements were made."
The SACD release of Round-Up features a completely new high-resolution surround mix of the music and sound effects plus a new stereo mix for both the stereo SACD and the CD programs. The 5.1 multi-channel and stereo programs both benefit with greater detail, impact, and harmonic content of music and sound effects.
