Re: 5.1 mobile recording

["Dan Dugan" dandugan_1999]

I'd just like to say that recording a .1 channel in the field seems 
silly, unless perhaps you use it for a super-low-end-response mic 
like an MKH-110. The LFE channel is created in post production. The 
only reason people sell 5.1 recording systems is because their target 
customers are ignorant about surround technology. They know 5.1 is a 
standard, so they want to record it.

Tom Holman's surround handbook explains everything.
