Think this is more an artifact of the way vinyl records worked - since audio can be encoded in two channels via the way the needle moves in certain orientations

They *just* got stereo back then , right?

I'd be perfectly fine if everything was just mixed mono. I see little value in stereo. I'm weird like that.

like @zaphod said, its mostly to make it sound wider. in mono, everything sounds like its in the center of your skull. in stereo, some stuff it a few inches from my ear (wherever the drivers are), some stuff can be in my head, some can even be in my throat if that makes sense

has anyone tried out apple's 'spatial audio' and how it compares to 5.1?

It does what it claims to do in that it makes the music sound like it’s coming from a set of speakers a few feet in front of you in a room that has poor sound deadening. I really tried to like it but it just sounds more muddled/is fatiguing for me.

Edit: I haven’t tried it on acid yet tho, maybe that would make it make sense.
