holst the planets ( rare ) dts CD
yoel levi, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra – The Planets ; Telarc – CD-80466 · CD, Album, Multichannel, DTS · US · 1998
the dts CD are getting very rare with only so many units made
imported which was reasonable price
one of the tracks appeared on dts cd demo disc 1999 with other musical tracks and i find this version of the planets to have good engineering mix with solid dynamics

parts of neptune at the end of the track sounds bit like some of the score , james horner for williow
other tracks may sound like , john williams , star wars or the empire strikes back ,

i find the mellow tracks to be relaxing

2nd version of holst planets arrived

Holst*, André Previn, London Symphony Orchestra – The Planets, Opus 32 ; Format: CD, Multichannel, DTS ; Released: 1998
2nd version of holst the planets

musical timing of instruments and engineering mix different than that of the ( yoel levi, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra )
i like how it sounds on neptune still parts of it sounds like basses used for james horner's " willow " with the softness of the choir voices

mars has difference between , yoel levi where it has bit more infrasonic depth slam , LSO here has shorter depth slams not tested on spectrum lab , i can tell the bass has slighter shorter tighter mix , i like both versions of the planets , also have CD stereo version and on tape

road house 1989 , Dolby Stereo , lucasfilm ltd THX sound system

418159377_10161167108225149_6855848515128207155_n.jpg


fight scene hand to hand on side 2 , 37mins ( no chapter stops encoded on the disc) has some decent foley editing mixing with vivid deep bass slams and bass depth to the scene
theatrical mix dynamics can be loud at times

using the Dolby Stereo CP200 with cat 150E card
i was feeling bass foley against my stomach some mixing style near around my chest and neck with how the mixing of low and bass mid frequencies being reproduced via the jBL 4673A and subs obe bass extension 4645/4645C

listening between digital and analog have differences in dB frequency loudness , for road house i settled on using analog track it had bit more dB aggressiveness with hand to hand scene at 37mins which i played over and over for 30 mins , felt sounded like being at actual THX cinema , oh i do have THX it was better feeling/sounding than when seeing at odeon screen 6

scope 2.35:1 image transfer is problematic even with end credits are hard to read due to size of the credits being far too small yet on film res image is high quality as i may sort recall when seeing road house 35mm at odeon screen 6 june 1989
michael kamen score sounds a lot alike to lethal weapon and die hard

a violent movie , maybe bit tamer than recent remake amazon version which seems unnecessary remake

2001 a space odyssey , Dolby , six track stereo , lucasfilm ltd THX sound system

2001.jpg


chapter 29 2hrs 21 mins during stargate where low rumble vibration , can or maybe very disturbing scene mentally psychologically disturbing to some
i banned this movie for few years , why i have it in the player now ?
why am i playing chapter 29 for reason why i banned it is in the above ____

why i am ether bothering at playing this in five screen and tuning the five screen specif playback in screen bass and HF horns with the why LFE.1 mixed in ? LFE sub bass for cinema didn't exist till sensurround and only hi-fi homes had sub bass since the 1960's in some homes

i'm thinking three dimensionally , way , way beyond common atmos capabilities , why i am ether bothering with this , some don't like it , few like it and that's how it is , , i would have like 2001 before 2020

not many home theatres have a five screen so guess wondering what it sounds like , well have to buy two DSU4 to find out

part of the live video , switched on the SAS found that one SAS was not sounding , wire came lose , so soldered the wires down , had to remove seat back and all

re-tuned position of transducer exciter , put titanic dts THX on , wow ,
i decided to rename SAS , SASSF surround around seating sound field , it really places the extra sound field within the seating area that is also felt !

also listening to actual crowds on the surrounds in titanic , i know what actual real world ones sound like , so working on the psychoacoustics
