People today aren't able to do a good stereo or mono mix, e.g. because
of the loudness war, but they are thinking of doing 3D mixes.
I'm unable to follow this strange evolution.
We all have 2 ears and 1 brain that has to do a lot of work, regarding
to information from the sense organs. The brain needs to do math because
usually the left and right ear are not equal, so even when wearing a
head phone the brain needs the context of the situation and the perfect
natural loudness etc. for this context.
All thoughts about doing 3D are useless until we aren't able to connect
electrodes directly to our brains and to have a rimming regarding to our
brains.
As long as Cochlear implant isn't good, any try to do 3D mixing is
laughable, resp. a pain, just try to watch AND hear a modern film, it's
a torture.
There are some good mixes for stereo and mono, but at least I never
heard a valid mix with more but one ore two channels.

Nonsense.

A bad example is a bad example. Standard film sound systems making
a mess of it doesn't mean there is no alternative.

You've been missing a lot.

That's ok. I don't understand DSP. I don't think anybody understands
everything.
But please have some respect for other peoples projects / jobs / hobbies
etc.

I don't fully know what your trying to get at here, but I'm sure your
aware
that
each persons ears are unique, and hence as the brain "un-filters" audio and
makes
sense of it, it takes the filtering of the ears' shape into account and can
construct
a better understanding of the audio.
This is simple not possible with sterio. Or mono for that matter.
Ambisonics, or
5.1 setups do allow for these principles to be used.

Again I'm struggling to see what your saying with regards to the cochlear
implant,
but again I'll request you to respect other people, and thier work. After
all, who knows,
maybe they wanted to do a sterio mix, but thier company said "no we do 5.1".

I did have a bit of mistrust in 3D (although with less extreme feelings
than yours), and especially based on cheezy and naive use in many films...
That was till we did an ambisonics recording and playback experiment,
also comparing other 2-dimensional recording configurations. You should
really try it!
Also 3D meaning more than 2 channels positioned in space has lots of
creative potential (i.e. not using it to reproduce a recorded sonic
space, but creating it from zero)

I've been to Jörn Nettingsmeier's workshop at LAC2010 and that was 3D
allright. And the good thing was, the complete recording and mixing was
done with Linux.

It doesn't matter. I was wrong about my general (mis)judgement about
surround. This doesn't mean that I'm fine with Ambisonics. I don't know
it until now, because I didn't tested it, but for sure I was mistaken,
because my experiences regarding to surround are outdated, resp.
Ambisonics itself is as old as I'm, but less known.
I try not to be more royalist than the king.
As I mentioned before, even for '2D' IMO = stereo, I don't use the given
abilities, because I tend to do stereo mixes compatible to mono.
I'm not fine with 5.1 (or what ever the equivalent for movies is called)
when watching a Hollywood movies. Somebody did mention that it even
isn't 5.1 what I don't like, but the usage of 5.1.
IMO more enlightenment is needed.
I'm completely outdated, other people might confuse '3D' with '2D'.
IMO the current possibilities are less known.

I guess overhead and bottom is another very special issue.
