Okay, last night I opened the 2nd Blu Ray copy of David Gilmour - Remember That Night to see if my issues with the 5.1 sountrack were a fluke. Nope.
#1: The audio clips (small gaps) during some tunes like the title track and this is very annoying. The std DVD soundtrack plays fine. Samsung firmware upgrade? Maybe, this is the only TrueHD 5.1 disc I have problems with.
#2. Where's the bass? The first Blu Ray copy convinced me my smallish CSW sub was blown; that was the wrong disc to use as a reference point! But I did get a decent Klipsch that we like much more.
Specifically, the bass guitar energy is MIA; just played the DVD and it's the same over there. Track 3 'Time' is a good example of what I'm talking about. You know your sub is working because there are percussion elements and a keyboard bass part using the sub to energize the room very effectively. At this time bassist Guy Pratt is strumming muted bass strings until it's time to come in.
When that moment occurs, it just never happens! The previous parts stop and his bass should be taking over but never arrives. Crank the sub to +12 but there is NOTHING there. Return to normal and the KB bass part (played on the 1 of the count) tells you that is the only thing fed to the subwoofer.
Now that I see the std DVD was mixed this way as well, I'm scratching my head as why a big well produced show is chronically bass shy. Remember Music Minus One? That was a series of recordings where "your" instrument was left out so you could play along. Love Guy Pratt and want to HEAR him!
Once again, this is the only disc (Blu or DVD) that gives me such a pain. Has anybody else experienced this?
