Quick question: Does anyone have the PCM for Sleepy Hollow from the LD?
All I have is DTS cinema for the live action Sleepy Hollow.
Thanks Jetrell Fo, I love you DTS project. Who would ever think you could get access to the original theatrical sound. It is beyond awesome!
I should say now that not everyone enjoys the cinema DTS. We have to remember, most of the time when these movies go to DVD/Bluray, the soundtracks get remixed and beefed up for those who don't have fancy surround systems. Some theater mixes were made a little hot. For instance, I've heard a lot of folks comment on how good the SE Trilogy mixes were for the theater ...... they were created that way for the theater. To kick your ass while you're still in your seat, others weren't.
The LFE isn't designed as a subwoofer channel, it's a low frequency effects channel so if the movie doesn't have a lot of special effects, it may come off as quiet or non-existent. That's not to say that one couldn't adjust the channels before putting them in to a DTS encoder as sometimes channels have hot-spots that need to be toned down for home use. Each film is different in it's own right depending on what it needs due to it's presentation.
I definitely hear were you are coming from Jetrell but I don't understand why people wouldn't like the sound of the Cinema DTS. I started this thread as an attempt to catalog and save soundtracks that were as close to what you heard in the theater as possible. Most of these laserdiscs are close to the original Dolby Stereo/Mono/etc but those Cinema DTS are exactly what you heard in the theater. No argument about it. I for one, love to hear what it sounded like in the theater. No near-field nonsense, no filtering the LFE, no clipping the highs and lows for the dialogue...none of that, just what the mixer intended an audience to hear, I want to hear that in home too. Jurassic Park and the Matrix's Cinema DTS soundtracks just had better dynamics coming out of my speakers. More punch. To each their own, I still think it is a cool project.
