The O'Jays - Use Ta Be My Girl (5.1 Instrumental)

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 the original unprocessed multi-tracks. My goal is to create enjoyable surround mixes. I started out mixing them for myself but was later encouraged to share my work. I’ve been mixing music in surround sound for several years & created thousands of mixes but I am not a professional audio engineer. I spend anywhere from 3 to 8 hours per song normally but some of the really big or difficult projects, I might spend several days on . If you’d like to show your appreciation for my time and effort, I have a KoFi page for donations here: https://ko-fi.com/methuselahsgrandpa If you have a surround sound system and want to hear everything I've ever mixed and shared, submit a request to join my Telegram group here: t.me/cixS1VrnGkFiYTMx ....& then make sure you respond to my direct message afterwards. Jared (Methuselah's Grandpa) ==================== 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 very 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 a 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 the lossy artifacts and the loss of fidelity. I really hope YouTube will increase this bitrate to at least 640 kb/s in the future. Low Volume When Streaming 5.1 Audio For some reason, 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.
