After briefly reading this, I wouldn't mind giving it a try. I think it might work better if I go into a show knowing I want to mix it in 5.1, as opposed to mixing an existing show in 5.1 (can't imagine anyone in '89 was thinking about 5.1).
The only thing I've done in 5.1 was mix the Flaming Lips, Zarieeka (sp?) album up so I could listen to it with out 4 cd players.
