My favorite was 4 channel audio on 1/2 tape at 15 ips with Ampex AME equalization. Then I upgraded to DBX professional noise reduction. But then the remote business went away. So all the professional Ampex went the way of all dinosaurs. I still have one of the 1/4" machines as a remembrance. The tapes were mixed down to 2 channel and Dubbed to CD. My next Favorite was Sheffield and Original Masters LP's with a couple of Telarcs and direct to discs thrown in. But right now I would say its Movie sound tracks on DVD blu-ray. Some of them are just beyond reproach. Some of those Hollywood guys have great ears and really know their art. They are also not afraid to go their own direction , and not get in the POP music rut.
My only complaint is the place the vocals on the center channel instead of following the action on the screen for consumer discs. I mean if an actor is on the left extreme side of the screen the his spoken word should come from the left speaker and not the center.
Personally I think this new Atmos is another gimmick.
