I'm enjoying this Silverline release ( yep you read it right!!)

BJ Cole
Trouble in Paradise

Another one picked up dirt cheap and its new and sealed.
Arrived today

This really is a great discrete mix and a very interesting recording.

This one:

5.1 mix by Gary Lux
 
After listening to Steely Dan's Two Against Nature, I thought this Ry Cooder DVD-A 5.1 PCM 24/96 would be a good one to follow.
I seem to be liking my relatively new speaker settings at Center LF RF at 6db and the two rears at 2.5, I am able to groove pretty good at 25db overall.

How is the mix on this one? It's a reference movie for me and had the CD for years, but never listened to the 5.1

Are you referring to the Two Against Nature studio album or the Two Against Nature Live DVD concert?

Yes, my fault, I was referring to Buena Vista DVD-A but the reference was lost when replying to the previous message.
Thanks fredblue for the translation :geek:

anytime! 🍻
tbh i don't remember the Buena Vista surround mix being anything special but it has been a while since i last played it so i need to give it another go with fresh ears before i say anymore here! 👂

That's always been my impression as well, a little lacking in the rear channels (and proportionally disappointing.)

That's a pity, there's lots of percussion and layered instruments that will let a very good mix to be created. I just checked the DVD and it has got a 5.1 mix, need to play it again, I can't remember how good or bad this is

Buena Vista is a very disappointing surround mix imo. So much more could have been done with all of the instruments involved but wasn’t. Can’t remember who did the surround remix on this one but it’s one of those releases that makes you wonder what they were thinking when they did it.
