Why is Avalon the only RM catalog title getting all the surround love? A bloated, overpriced deluxe of their debut came out years ago with an SW 5.1 mix and is still going for crazy money, but where are the six studio titles in between? Last I heard it may have been Bryan Ferry holding things up, but c'mon. Even a couple of his solo titles are out in surround. Talk about leaving money on the table....
Maybe because a) it's [arguably] their best and most popular record and b) it's the album that made Clearmountain a rock-star mix engineer. I can't name one mix engineer from those other six titles.
I disagree.
My question was mainly rhetorical.
I admit I was drinking but something seemed off with it. I will listen again
I will too; I've listened to it only once. It's not my favorite Live song, and I'll admit I'm not adept at listening critically and analyzing Atmos mixes. The main thing I hear in most Atmos mixes is the vocals seem to emanate from just above the bed layer.
I like the mix on this,
Ken Caillat is credited with the Atmos mix.
Entire album now on Tidal in 360RA.
Listened again and although I do think overall sonically it sounded better then last night it’s still just seems out of balance to me and very compressed.
On my setup this is one of the best sounding songs ever! Fat and subtle at the same time.
