This may sound a little like Quad, but I think It is a little bit different. We are all familiar with the various types of surround, but what would a recording sound like if you placed the speakers in a line as if they were performers on a stage? Make a 4 track recording of two guitars,bass, and drums. Then use four LA SCALAS, one for each track and place them on a stage. Would you get a reasonable illusion of a four piece band? If anyone has ever done this, let us know how it turned out.

I've done similar mixes, but not in a surround sound format. You would definitely get a sense of being at practice with the band though. The problem would be all the drums mixed to one speaker. However, that has been done too (on standard stereo recordings in the sixties when they were limited to the number of tracks available), all the drums would sometimes be panned "hard right or "hard left" making them right or left speaker specific.

Thus as a guess, I would say yes indeed, it could be done and sound pretty good.
