Very interested to hear people's thoughts.
I havent pre-ordered a copy so honest opinions welcome before i commit.
I read Rich Chyki needed the processing power below to sweeten James's voice
I wonder if they are taking it out on the road?

His last mix was his best....although that's not saying much!

Maybe he meant Chycki's last DT mix. It has received somewhat favorable reviews, relative to Hemispheres, anyway.

 

[musicmemorabiliashoppellc]

Just cancelled my order

Well,the mix is far from as good as the DVD-A mix,but the fidelity is good ,I like the music too.Mostly reverb and echo in the rears and some vocals and instruments now and then.Track 6 now,synth solo goes to the rears More to follow...Edit ,track 7,isolated vocals in the rears.
Track 8 nice ballad with nice video.(All tracks have videos)Track 9 starts with sound effects in the rear,some space stuff.Track 10,a fresh rocker.
All and all,dissapointed by the mix but I like the music and the fidelity.!

Sorry, I meant his last DT mix. Hemispheres.....not so much!

 

[perzon57]

Well,I played selected tracks a second time and now I think there is more and better rear activity Only thing I did was I checked my levels and reduced center level by 1db.The other levels were spot on.The only other thing I did was pouring a Scotch on the rocks Maybe that did the trick? I'm confused......

Did Rich Chycki do the 5.1 mix? When you say it's not as good as the DVD-A mix, are you referring to the Dream Theater self-titled album 5.1 mix?

I really need to give that another spin. I remember it being much more interesting surround-wise than Rush's Moving Pictures (The only Chycki Rush 5.1 mix I've heard).

 

[perzon57]

I'm referring to the Dream Theater self-titled album 5.1 mix,the only one on DVD-A.I thought this mix was by Chycki,but I checked now and it's
by a Peter van't Riet.Never heard of him.(where do they get these names from?)
Chycki recorded all the vocals.

I‘m listenting to it right now and my advice:
Crank them rears up (here +5 db) and you will notice it is a discrete mix but the rears are not used as they could be.
I would love to see some waves from the mix.
Why do I have to push the rears?
What did they do in the studio?

So am I
Deff too quiet in the rears..and mine are already cranked up.
But, so far, I like the music
And not the dreaded double stereo either..phew

 

[beerking]

I have just wacked my rears up by a lot...and I mean a lot. That's much better. Me thinks there must have been a speaker set up issue in the studio, not to Spot this oversite, unless deliberate.

Still not good enough for me to order the Super Deluxe Box Set for resale unless there is a major price reduction!! I'd like to get a good deal on just the Deluxe Set with the 5.1 Disc JUST FOR MYSELF but still too expensive as I'm really not a BIG FAN of Dream Theater.....If anyone comes up with a GREAT price on either please let me know. Thanks

Can we see some WAVs?
