[Dixielandjazz] Question re Tommy Dorsey Stereo Film Clip

[Stan Brager]

Mike;

There are 2 ways that this could have happened:

1) Some have suggested that the sound could have been caught by two mics
going into 2 recorders. This would enable the movie's actors to move while
the sound would approximate what he would be hearing. I discount this
theory. All that the sound engineer would have to do is to lower the volume
as the camera moves away from the bandstand. A stereo signal would be of
little use to movie houses of that day - 1943 to 1946 or so.

2) It would be easy to create a "stereo effect" for today's market using
techniques developed by DJML member Richard Broadie,  Robert Parker and/or
others.

Either theory or others could be what has really happened.
