Rush "Signals" Dolby Atmos Mix! (Box Set Out in April!)

[inspclouseau]

If you play the Atmos track on a non Atmos setup, it will fold down to the core True HD in 7.1.

yup. Our setup says it will too. Problem with ours is we have 5 speakers, so that version folded down even more reminds me of the exorcist playing in the back-ground.
We've been at this 5.1 thing since the 80's, since dolby surround started and then a bit later DTS showed. Lots of stuff in here~ It's been so much fun over the years.

“Signals” is now available in Atmos on Apple Music in Canada.

I am not one to bitch about box sets as I am all in and I play the game.
I will start with the fact that the Signals box set is stunningly beautiful. The things you get to look at and read are fantastic.
My initial observation is if I was a record collector this would be a very good set with the LP and the (4) 7" singles.

But for the life of me why did they not provide single paper or plastic jackets for the one CD and the one BD is beyond me.
I looked at all the beautiful items in the box, took out the one BD to listen and rip and I had to provide my own plastic protective disc jacket.
Did they expect the box set buyer to constantly open and close the box set? Or maybe they do not respect those of us who listen to digital music and think we are just going to throw the two discs around unprotected.
That's not cool.

Losing it is the best atmos mix on the disc.

Also..Losing It was the best sounding track.

What's up with the acoustic guitar that comes blasting out of the left rear speaker at around 2:00 though (right before "some are born to move the world...")? It takes me out of the song every time.

No blast of acoustic, for me. Sounds nicely balanced.

 

[inspclouseau]

Just checked the 5.1 version. That acoustic guitar part IS left rear (mostly) but not shouting or blasting for us at all. All good there. Could have used a bit more actually.. no cow bell though

And then Kathy wanted the Tipping Point playing next while making an apple pie. Son of a bitch! The DTS 5.1 is just unreal. And the apple pie will be too!!! I know both~ ( TFF is playing right now...) edit: see!!

I unwrapped my copy of Signals. I'm not going to go into detail. This is a rock and roll release. Monster.......

I’m powerless against this release! Who’s got best price?

Anyone else notice that the Atmos presentation on the Blu-Ray plays back a lot quieter than the Apple Music stream? I investigated and it turns out that the TrueHD audio was encoded with a dialnorm value of -23, so the overall level drops 8 dB. This volume drop isn't as drastic as on the Frank Zappa Waka/Wazoo disc or Kiss' Creatures Of The Night, but I'm not sure why the authoring houses can't get this right.

Still too much for me ($199.48), but it's getting closer!

still? all this time after i first started noticing it on the HFPA Blu-ray's (gotta be nearly 10 yrs i guess?) i've never found any kind of explanation as to what exactly Dialog Normalization (Dialogue Normalisation? ) achieves on a Surround Music mix if it's just an overall volume level +/- adjustment..?

I need it to get to about $150 before I will even consider it. It sucks. My favorite band has made it hard for me to justify buying their music. I have a choice of being grossly taken advantage of or passing it by. Tough choice.

Back on post #170 I said I needed it to get to $150 before I'd buy.
It's $147.78 on Amazon right now.
Should be here in a couple of days.

Dammit! I bit! I'm really gonna need to upgrade to Atmos!!

 

[cbmmm3]

Ill pass on Atmos and wait for Dolby AI

Bill Bee and Clement - enjoy Signals. The box itself is a work of art

Do it!!!

 

[Clement]

Do it!!!

I'm on the lookout for a pair of JBL Northridge E60 (or E80) speakers to match my fronts. When they appear, it'll be the sign that it's Atmos time! Hoo boy--this hobby!

Thanks for the tip. Went ahead and pulled the trigger myself. Would've liked some of the extra artwork from the Rush Backstage Club limited release that site was selling at the beginning, but not for an extra $100.
