DVD/DTS Poll Derek & The Dominos - Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs 40th Anniversary (Ellioitt Scheiner 5.1 Mix) [DTS/DD DVD]

[Larry Geller]

My stereo/mono reference for Layla is a car audio system, and, to my ears the 5.1 DVD mix is worse sounding than the car radio mix.

The 5.1 is mind blowing in my Acura RDX.

A car is the worst possible non-sweet spot for listening to anything worth listening to -- except for the Acura RDX, which always makes everything sound great.

But don't blow your mind out in a car (you might not notice that the light has changed...BTW, would you happen to be in the Hose of Lords?... )

The intent of the polls is to share your opinion of the production an especially the mix. I like the review you wrote for its specificity. That said, my experience is different, and I am glad to report I love this mix, especially compared to the SACD. A 10 for me.

I gave the Scheiner Layla a 10 in my earlier post. It's a bit less muddy than the others. No matter whether you slice it with 3 breaks between sides (LP), 1 break(cassette or 2CD) or no breaks, (DVD-V, SACD , single CD), it's muddy. I've owned 3 cassettes, 3 1/2 speed mastered Direct Disc Labs, ALL 6 of which had a dropout or skip! Also the 2CD, 4 CD box, SACD & this box. 10 copies in all (12 if you count this box as 3 - DVD-V, CD & LP's.) They all sound like some flavor of mud. The performance & Scheiner mix are both spectacular. It's just more spectacular mud.

Looking back through this thread I see lots of talk about muddy sound. Maybe that's what our previous to me poster is on about. To me it doesn't sound that muddy, but then I listen to tons of bootleg audio in stereo so I'm probably calibrated differently when it comes to mud.

All that said, I'm reminded that this was not a true hi-res release. This would be a spectacular candidate for the Rhino Blu-ray series, no?

i think it's a Universal title so doubtful we'll be seeing it on a Rhino Blu-ray unfortunately.. but i'd be surprised if top men aren't working on an Atmos rejig as we speak and maybe we'll get that on streaming/Blu-ray..

Top men? Hopefully there's a woman involved somehow. Then maybe it will get done. Sorry men

Could it be possible that people are confusing the SACD mix to this DVD?
I have to admit that I didn't realize there were different mixes, and the SACD mix didn't do much for me. I have (finally) gone back to the DVD, and it is a revelation! Funny that a post complaining about a mix can spark a totally different vibe.

GREAT comparison, Michael, between the SACD and Scheiner''s DVD~V 5.1 DTS remix! Hopefully, UMG will eventually release a stand alone PURE AUDIO BD~A 5.1 or could we hope an Elliot Scheiner ATMOS remix!
