thizzellewashington Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'm starting to do preliminary research into 5.1 setups. By the end of the year I'll have bought one. I know what I'm testing it out with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Must be an album from a different band. I've heard of Vapor Trails, but not Vapour Trails I'm still waiting for the remix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shail Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I don't get it. Plopped it in my PS3 and cranked up the sound system. Played camera and vital a few times. Am I missing something? Audio is shit. The surround sound mix has some of the synth parts mixed way in the background to the point where you can't hear them. Intro parts mostly. There's no balls to it. Want my money back. Like the album the way it is without this remix in 5.1. Yuck. Well... It's not that bad. Fills up the room evenly with the instruments. That's always nice. Could have been done better. Anyone know where you can get a better 5.1 of MP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCFIELDS Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I heard Tom Sawyer and Limelight yesterday, and was extremely disappointed.....it sounded pretty awful to be honest...(on a high end system)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFIELDS Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) audio was a little distorted at high volume (store owner played it on 2 calibrated systems and same thing).... Edited April 9, 2011 by WCFIELDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is, this new master is for shit; it just is. Its almost as loud as the criminally loud 97 remasters. The 5.1 mix is fun to listen to but they REALLY missed a chance to put out the definitive version of this album. I have other DVD-A discs that blow this one out of the water (see Steely Dan's Gaucho or Beck's Sea Change on DVD-Audio to hear what a truly audiophile DVD-A can sound like). The truth is, Alex just likes his music brickwalled and compressed to hell and we're never going to get a truly audiophile quality version of any Rush album. Since most people out there aren't audiophiles and coud care less about sound quality, there really isnt a market force out there to force them to make a good quality sounding master. Most people equate loudness with quality. Very sad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shail Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 my system is just fine. it should for 6 grand. listened to the tunes again it's a miss. in the beginning of witch hunt there is a electronic tom tom you can't hear. you can but it's so far back in the mix. all the other drums you can hear. the part with the cow bell. it's in the rear right speaker on this mix. also some synth parts are way back in the mix like on camera. i can't be the only one not hearing this. there are quite a few things that are far back in the mix. at the same time there are some things brought up in the mix that i haven't heard before. all this hype for just an ok product. have a great sound set up on my desktop also. great sound card and all. i can dial in a few things if need be. same thing. it's a no go. who ever mixed it missed some key instruments. go listen again fellas.

Agree 100% with on this assessment. The realy sad thing is, I think this is the same quality we'll be getting for any future remasters as well. Lets just hope the source tape for the other albums was better recorded than Moving Pictures. I just wish Alex and Rich Chycki would NOT be involved in the process. The hearing on both guys appears to be shot from the sound of this new release. Just awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ak2112 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 How many versions of this album do you have? Have you ever taken the time to compare this new release to a truly top notch master like the MFSL? If you havent then, how can you say anything I've commented on regearding this release is nonsense? Calling me some name is one thing, but proving your opinion is another. Hey, I'm open to being proven wrong, so tell me why you think what I'm saying is nonsense. I'm all ears (tinny though they may be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrote, performed and recorded everything with Geddy and Neil. Sheesh the nerve of those guys. You don't like it. Too bad. A bunch of us love it. Been playing and listening to music entire life. The 97 remasters are not great. MFLS releases are all fantastic. This BD 5.1 is fantastic and that is why I made the purchase. I knew I already had a definitive remaster of MP in the MFSL version.

I'm all ears (tinny though they may be). On the remaster CD I agree with you. MFSL is the best version superbly warm. But I think your really off the mark on the BD 5.1 It is a totally new and fresh way to enjoy this legendary album. That is a subjective opinion through and through.
