Fascinating. So it sounds like the process was as follows:
It sounds good, but not much in the heights, so nothing I will buy for that reason.
Never heard of the “Shark Tank”, I'm just not a fan of Atmos mixes with next to nothing in the heights, it's not Atmos to me even though my AVC's display says so.For some reason your response gave me a mental image of you being on TV’s “Shark Tank”
I thought he clarified that a bit more as he went further in the discussion, separating the differences of stereo/headphones/down-mix to an immersive Atmos mix in a room; with the Atmos being much more satisfying. Isn't that kind of what he was saying or did I hear it wrong?
I didn’t hear that part so I hope you are correct. I get nervous when mixers talk about Immersive mixes as if a more discrete mix would be out of place with Bob Dylan. A discrete mix does not have to mean a Pink Floyd DSOM Quad Mix. Listen to the Band - Cahoots Atmos mix for example. I believe more than not, people on this forum would prefer a more discrete mix IMO.
I say we just have to wait until the SDE BD is in hand, and then judge that aspect. Appropriateness of a surround mix to a style of music is an important factor IMO. I'm of the opinion that "Immersive" is just a very generic term. A mix can contain lots of little discrete moments with more of a lighter dynamic touch to other things like strings or pedal steel guitars etc; and be called "Immersive." Or a more synth. featured album of ambience (maybe Ambisonic) and still be considered "Immersive." Or it could be something in Atmos like 'Booka Shade', 'Max Cooper' or 'Kraftwerk' that is more discrete and also appropriate.
Have you streamed the Atmos mix? It seemed more adventurous than some of the prior Dylan 5.1 titles (Blonde On Blonde, Slow Train Coming, etc) to my ears, with elements like organ and steel guitar appearing mostly from behind.
No I haven’t. I tried setting up Apple TV4k after Christmas but had conflict problems with my Anthem AVM 60 processor & Apple TV 4K to get Dolby Atmos. Sometimes my processor would change back to 5.1.
It's the American equivalent to the British Dragons' Den, which is itself patterned after the Japanese Money Tigers. Entrepreneurs pitch their companies/products/services to a panel of venture capitalists. Your comment was somewhat reminiscent of what a "Shark" or "Dragon" would say when declining to make an investment.
In German, it's "Höhle der Löwen" (lions' den).
