Extreme - More Than Words (5.1 surround sound mix)

Описание: This 5.1 mix, in my opinion, shows that you don't have to have a lot of different tracks and instruments for a nice surround mix. I think this mix sounds so much better than the stereo version and I only had 6 distinct tracks to use, ...after all, there's only one guitar, lead vocals, and back-ground vocals. While this might be the most simple songs I've ever mixed into surround sound, I still hope you enjoy it.

This and all the music on this channel are my own surround sound creations which I've mixed or remixed using either mastered or unmastered studio stems, or multi-tracks.

I am not a professional audio engineer and since these are my unofficial mixes, they may sound very different from the official releases; whether this was my intention or not, my primary goal is to create enjoyable surround mixes.

YouTube 5.1 streaming, audio quality and known volume issues


You can NOT stream 5.1 YouTube videos on a computer, mobile phone or tablet using a web browser. Even though Google Chrome, Firefox or other browsers may support 5.1, YouTube has chosen to restrict surround sound audio to the app only. Use the YouTube app on a TV, AppleTV, ROKU, Firestick, PlayStation, X-Box, Nvidia Shield, etc.. to stream surround sound.

YouTube does not stream surround sound as high-quality audio.
I upload my mixes here in the best quality that I can; as lossless 5.1 flac, 7.1 DTS Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD Atmos. Most of my mixes have lossless sources and so the only lossy conversion is the one that happens when YouTube streams it as 5.1 AAC or 5.1 EAC3 (Dolby Digital+) at 384 kb/s. To my ears, 384 kb/s is just not enough, I can hear lossy artifacts and the loss of fidelity.

Low Volume When Streaming 5.1 Audio
YouTube handles the loudness of 5.1 audio drastically different than it does compared to stereo. I have tried everything I could to my own mixes to adhere to the specs but it nothing ever worked. They reduce all 5.1 audio so much that you need to turn up the volume louder than you normally would for stereo content but BE CAREFUL with the ads, they can switch your AVR to stereo temporarily and it can be MUCH louder than the 5.1 music. Be ready to hit that mute button quick!

"More Than Words" is a song by American rock band Extreme, released as the fifth track and third single from their second album, Pornograffitti, in March 1991. It is a ballad built around acoustic guitar work by Nuno Bettencourt and the vocals of Gary Cherone. The song is a detour from the funk metal style that permeates the band's records. As such, it has often been described as "a blessing and a curse" due to its overwhelming success and recognition worldwide, but the band ultimately embraced it and plays it at every show.
