Abstract: A method and an arrangement for recording and playing back sounds, especially music, is disclosed whereby stereo recording and playback techniques are at least partially used. The arrangement allows for a three-dimensional acoustic reproduction, especially music reproduction, that comes as close to a natural experience as possible. This is achieved by as least one 2+2+2 recording and playback technique and by means of a corresponding number of sound tracks for producing a sound impression which is realistic, three dimensional, and closely resembling nature in width, depth, and height.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for recording and playing back sounds, especially music, whereby stereo recording and playback techniques are at least partially used. The aim of the invention is to allow for a three-dimensional acoustic reproduction, especially music reproduction, that comes as close to a natural experience as possible. According to the inventive method, the aim of the invention is achieved by at least one 2+2+2 recording and playback technique and by means of a corresponding number of sound tracks for producing a sound impression which is realistic, three-dimensional and closely resembling nature in width, depth and height.
