Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band – The Traveler Blu-ray Pure Audio w/Atmos and 5.1 mix out on 8/30 2019

[4-earredwonder]

Son, are you Country? - Ma'am I am tonight!

- Listened to the 5.1 tonight and would love a Poll to sink my teeth into this one. Many things I liked about it and some things I think could have been improved (at least for my taste.)
- This is one I believe to really be effective you should turn it up loud as you can stand. I don't often say that, but here I think it matters, as the midrange & low end seems a little tame until turned up. Also the mix at times seems two dimensional and at other times lots of solo guitar flying around. The stand out track for me is: "Take It On Home", just had a great feel and I believe KWS' style sounds better as Country Rock than the others. Really loved the Mr. Soul and Turn To Stone covers. Also a whole lot more Joe Sublett on saxophone would have helped the arrangements.
But overall I believe this is a slam dunk must buy if you like Country Blues Rock.
Don't hesitate, just buy it!!!
It gets the "Pupster's Trench Coat Corner" seal of approval!

Mine came too from Moose.....but I'm way too tired to even unwrap it. lol

I haven't listened yet, but I got it ripped. 24/48 for both the stereo and the 5.1 tracks. It seems to me 24/96 is much more common on Blurays

It is more common, but Atmos mix's seem to only be 24/48.....is that right? Hell, my brain is flat, so I could be making that up. lol

Could very well be. I don't have any other Atmos releases that I've ripped. The Atmos shows up as 7.1 Dolby in MKV. So if this is right, in general, we take a small resolution hit with Atmos releases.

It is 24/48 for the Atmos; which according to Garry is typical for Blu-Ray Atmos; but I just wonder why that is, for this day and age, wouldn’t 24/96 be easily achievable? While in MakeMKV I did notice many different iterations of output for this title. Maybe to please everyone, (everything but the kitchen sink) it ends up filling the disc?

IIRC there were only 2 purely music titles on it, Title 1 and Title 2, each with 10 chapters. Title 1 was the Atmos mix along with stereo PCM Title 2 was the 5.1 mix, again with stereo PCM. I cant remember if it had a DTS and a Dolby selection. I always choose the DTS or PCM anyway. The truly odd thing to me was even the stereo mix was 24/48. Even when you got the occasional 5.1 BRD that was in a 48kHz format the stereo tracks were typically 24/96.

There is a bunch of video on this disk though. I don't remember the total size, but it might be a capacity issue.

Thanks for the video reminder; I need to watch those. And for those into format Porn; I may unfold all the sub- menus on this title and post the screen shots, probably several pages worth!

When my disc arrived the case was broken but the disc was fine. I phoned Amazon and they gave me a discount of $8 so the disc only cost me $12cdn.

Hey, I'd take that deal all day long, unless it's a real special kind of case, (unlikely-unless small corner SACD style Supers) I really don't give a hoot.
