Working at a theater is the 90s, we were all over this stuff. We had a theater with one auditorium that was THX, and it was a pretty big deal. It was formally a United Artist theater. Back in the day, they had a lot of clout and could get big, exclusive movies. When companies changed hands, they still had the equipment and eventually let the THX license lapse, but it still sounded amazing. When Cinemark came to town, they made a really big deal about promoting their THX houses. I saw tons of movies back then, and had my favorite theaters. The CInemark with the DTS/THX combo was my favorite.
I've been a huge fan of surround sound since getting my PS3 back in 2009. Before that I experimented with non discreet Quadraphonic sound and JVC's Hyper Surround Sound. But I bought a Yamaha 5.1 Dolby Digital made in 1999 and hooked it up to 4 speakers, a center speaker and powered subwoofer to my PS3 and I haven't looked back.
Love this new channel. Just got my first semi-surround system (A soundbar with subwoofer and rear speakers) for Christmas, and I'm already amazed at how much I was missing for so long. Looking forward to more videos and going back to games that I didn't have a chance to experience properly!
That was excellent coverage of each sound format. There have been so many over time. It's great to have a primer on what each one is capable of in presentation & performance.
Joe I am loving the content for this new channel and I learned a lot from this video! I can't wait to see what content you have lined up for the future!
Thank you, i've always had questions about sound formats, but there really arent many pieces of content that provide simple descriptions and all in one
I think whatever you do is entertaining Joe. Very informative, thank you! I hope you expand upon this and offer some optimal equipment solutions to specific consoles, kind of how My Life in Gaming does for getting the best possible video quality for each individual video game system. I have always wondered if my audio setup is "incorrect" and if I can get better sound from where I position my speakers, what receiver to use, going into options within games/consoles and choosing the correct format, etc. Looking forward to more!

The Tomlinson Holman Experiment sounds like a phenomenal prog rock band.
That was really interesting. As an audiophile I hope we get more content like this!
i remember the THX logo in the beginning of the NFS Underground games on PC
Best summary of Surround I've seen, thank you.
Subscribed. I love your work, Joe. Keep it up.
This is so good! People need to know this!

Joe! I love this new channel! I’ve long been interested in audio formats and this truly was illuminating!!
Awesome video! Super interesting and helpful to have all of these formats laid out like this. Also loved hearing the Super Monkey Ball music!

That conductor THX pre-roll scared the hell out of me as a kid
