Talk:Fantasound

Untitled
Fantasound was an early stereophonic sound process developed by == Harvey Fletcher == for the Walt Disney studio in 1940 for the motion picture Fantasia, making Fantasia the first commercial film with multichannel sound. It led to the development of what is today known as surround sound. Here are some videos of examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWXJ5jk1NQo, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBzlhTx60Nk, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j35eWBEsdQ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeeter McGeeter 21 (talk • contribs) 15:00, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

History and How it Works
Please split the article in two sections: the history of fantasound and how fantasound worked or was supposed to work.--85.179.108.221 (talk) 10:42, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Point of article
This article seems to have been transformed into another article about Fantasia, rather than one about the Fantasound system. There already is an article about Fantasia, we don't need two.Davidlooser (talk) 06:44, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it is needed for information about Fantasia as to what the requirements were, the background to the whole Fantasia project, and what they were working with at the time, for us as well as for readers who are not familiar with the subject. Obviously it is much simpler to present the Fantasia information first, as from reading the Garity's Fantasound writeup it was hard for myself to understand the technical details. It would be great to give a summary of the Mark Fantasound systems (from 1 to 10) as well. But please remember to source accurately to any information that you add. Thanks for the more detailed info!

Click track
There's an uncited reference to Fantasia as being the first to use a click track. Maybe it's meant that it was the first to use in combination with other recording techniques. But would a click track be used when the music was recorded prior to the creation of the animation as it was here? I'm not knowledgable enough to know for sure. Maybe it aided the animators and editors when assembling the film? Also, I think Carl Stalling and Max Steiner at Warner Bros. are usually credited as the first to use a click track in the mid-to-late 1930s. AAny comments?
