Minnetonka Audio Software’s SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II was used by Lakeshore Records to become first label to release an iTunes recording encoded with Pro Logic II technology. Just recently released, the movie soundtrack to Pathology, an iTunes exclusive and MGM release, is a score album composed by Robert Williamson and Johannes Kobilke and mixed by Wolfgang “Amadeus” Aichholz.
“SurCode for Dolby Pro Logic II software has given Lakeshore Records the ability to enhance the consumer experience of motion picture score recordings by providing a viable surround sound delivery method within digitally distributed stereo sound recordings via outlets such as iTunes and Amazon MP3. This is a truly wonderful thing for both the composer whose work now originates in theatrical surround and for the consumer who can enjoy a deeper appreciation for that work,” says Brian McNelis, senior vice president, Music and Soundtracks, Lakeshore Entertainment.
