Now that being said, when the 5.1 mix is properly folded down into 2.0, the balance is not affected. The only sounds that typically don't go into the center channel are music and background sounds like wind, birds, etc. If you see it on the right then it's mixed right. If you see it in the center then we mix it into the center channel. Basically foley and effects are placed wherever they are happening on screen. (Hard effects are sounds not directly caused by human contact such as car engines). Footsteps, hand pats, cups down, pens, dishes, etc.). Basically any sound caused by a person making contact with something. Most of the foley is in the center (foley is all the re-recorded sound effects made by human hands or feet.

While it is true that the dialog is placed in the center channel 99% of the time, the center channel is not exclusively reserved for dialog. This is also the reason why recording labels began limiting and compressing in the first place, to ensure that people could hear the music in a noisy bar. So pick Wagner or someone like that if you want to hear any music on a road trip.

This is why if you try to listen to a Pop/Rock artist while driving down the street with your windows open, you can usually hear the music but try playing something with no limiting and compression like a suite performed by the New York Philharmonic and you'll probably hear very little, if any at all which would usually be just the loud passages. You get a very similar experience with classical music (without any of the loss of audio due to phasing) because very little compression is used when producing the recordings, at least on the quality labels anyway. Also, there will be some loss of audio for "Dolby Surround" encoded two channel audio (usually the track being played if you don't select 5.1/7.1) because of a natural effect of the same wave in opposite phase will cancel themselves out it just isn't meant for two channel audio unless it was recorded pre-1980ish (really began in early 70's but didn't become common until early 80's.) More specifically, the center channel is generally just a mono signal but the rear channel (in a Dolby Surround, not Dolby Digital 5.1/7.1) signal is phased so if it is not properly decoded the reverberations of the voices will negatively impact the front channel on a two speaker setup.Īlso, a second force creating a negative here is the average listener has actually been trained from birth to accept no compression/no dynamics as sounding better than uncompressed, fully dynamic audio.
