Alright, folks. Time to put the cards on the table...
so to speak...
A few historical notes.
Lawrence.
3 track with four or five effects on channel four.
However, My Fair Lady was recorded AND dubbed via the
Edidub system. This film, which no only used the first
live mikes for Rex Harrison, took full advantage of
Edidub.
This state of the art system was 8 TRACK.
And it was fully recorded and dubbed on
large scale (14") Edison cylinders.
Warners archived and fortunately CBS held onto
all cylinders - M,E and D.
These were all predubbed and the final
6 track mix has an audible 5k tone on channel
six. When decoded, this splits the surrounds
into full discreet information left and right to
create the seventh channel.
These cylinders were transferred to mag
in 1994, however since many theatres
at that time were unable to play back the
split cylrounds, they were dropped.
The 5k tone however can still be heard
bleeding through to channel 4 and 5 on
occasion.
Hopefully, the industry will gets its act
together in the near future, understand
the incredible power and noise of
wax cylinders and go back to the
true Edidub system which made these
roadshows what they were.
It's next to be heard in "Eyes Wide Shut."
