Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[jaap74]

The new Rammstein album in Atmos (mixed down to 5.1) on Apple Music......

Basically I wanted to post on page 2022 of this thread in 2022

lt's a Tim Bowness day for me.
Two No-Man albums so far and now Memories of Machines.
I'm melting in his sad voice, must be a mood.

Great album but not much surround action, still, it’s better than stereo

the Rears are too quiet, if you whack them up it should be ok

Indeed, there are isolated rhythm guitars in the rear speakers throughout "Lonely No More" that sound great cranked up. If not for the dynamically-crushed front channels, this would be a great release.

ah there you go, confirmation i'm not (totally) barking!

is there any salvaging the Fronts or are they beyond repair?

The Beatles 1Plus. Hadn't played this in a while. Some mixes are good, Some not so good, but can't beat the music.

I always have my rears 4 db’s higher , how much should I whack them up for this one?

sorry i don't remember, i haven't played it for ages, i will get my copy out and check. i think it may need more than that, maybe another few dB?

edit: an alternative, if the Rears can't go any higher and the mix still feels Front-heavy, may be to lower other channels, in this case that possibly means lowering only the Front Mains by a few dB?

I like the sound of this one myself.

Needs work in the rears but it is actually very active and discrete.

Fronts are brickwalled. Some great tracks on this though. Worth messing about with if you know how I agree.
Maybe lower fronts -2db and enhance rears by 2db.

I am rotating between these new acquisitions

Lindsey Buckingham on SoundStage w/special guest Stevie Nicks.
"Murrow Turning Over In His Grave" playing right now.
Poignant words for the state of TV news reporting gone as Murrow expected.
Damn this dude can play acoustic guitar without finger bleeds and everything.
