BING CROSBY CHRISTMAS FAVORITES NOW IN STEREO (New Mono to Stereo Mixes)
$ 13.95 $ 14.95
This CD debuts 15 of Bing Crosby's classic Christmas recordings for the first time in STEREO. They had been recorded in the days of (1-channel) monaural, which is not a natural sound. But now, new AI technology called DES ("Digitally Extracted Stereo"), enables engineers to zero in on the frequency of various instruments and vocals, separate them into individual tracks, and then mix them into stereo like a modern, multi-track recording.
The results are STUNNING. You won't believe your ears! You'll hear much more detail in the original music...more warmth and clarity.
This exciting DES breakthrough is a laborious and time-consuming process—akin perhaps to restoring an old master canvas that has been painted over.

WHY IS IT SUCH A BIG DEAL THESE SONGS ARE TURNED FROM MONO INTO STEREO? This from Google: "Stereo sound is generally considered to be better than mono sound because it can create a more immersive and realistic listening experience. Stereo sound uses two audio channels, left and right, to separate the different elements of a song and give them more space to shine. This creates a sense of space and directionality, allowing the listener to perceive where instruments or voices are located within the audio mix. Stereo sound can also reproduce a wider range of frequencies and provide a higher level of detail than mono sound." So THAT's why it's a big deal when Bing's tracks get the new treatment. You think you've heard the songs before but you really haven't ever heard them THIS way...because he recorded them in the days of mono. But now they are stereo. Every music fan should be thrilled!
THE BIG LABELS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO EMBRACE THIS FABULOUS NEW AUDIO TECHNOLOGY so this is a rare opportunity for you to be among the first to listen to classic Bing Crosby Christmas tracks for the first time in STEREO. This is a great collectible CD!
