Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!) — Page 140

Well, that is super cool that some of you really like these mono audio tracks, more power to you, but I just can't sit and watch a movie with a mono track on my system, not only would I bitch about it, but so would my Family LOL, who in the hell only wants to listen to audio out the center speaker ONLY? not us(my Family and I) I just recently upgraded ALL my speakers and receiver to take FULL advantage of ALL the sweet HD audio options on Blu-rays now, my God what an experience it has been so far, we just watched both Transformer movies to get ready for the third and damn does it sound like you are right there fighting along side Optimus, I can't believe all I was missing, even on my Star Wars BD25, I just can't watch it with the mono track, it just sux, at least to me.

OH, and I can't wait to hear the HD audio on this Saga Set coming in Sept.!

I want to see this movie!

Mono tracks don't come from just the centre speaker, it is just one discrete channel of sound. Most receivers automatically split the sound over at least your two front stereo speakers. Up until recently, a lot of TV broadcasts were in mono, but you didn't just hear it from the right speaker, you just didn't get the directional effect of stereo. It's like mono mixed records from before the 1970s, you usually had more than one speaker but you didn't have multi-channel discreteness.

Well on my new system 1 channel mono comes out just the center speaker just like it is supposed to, dual channel mono comes out my towers like it is supposed to, to my Family and I, we don't like either, but having it, I like, just for completeness is all, but I will never listen to it, not anymore, I want to be engulfed in my movies, I do not like that tin can sound at all, spent to much money on a very nice setup to want that anymore, like I said, I can't wait to hear this new BD Saga Set coming, I bet it is going to be very, very good sounding!

and like I also said, I am happy for those that like the sound of mono with there movies, that is great for them, I am glad you like it, but that is just waaaay to old school for me now.

I wish I could get that excited about crap like this. I have a feeling my life would be much more blissful.

It probably isn't intentional, but there is no small amount of an air of snobbery in this quote. Just in case you don't realize how you are coming off.

Whatever CP3S, you take it any friggin way you want to, no one can change that, I grew up watching the original trilogy in the Theaters, so I am not that young, but even I can move forward and accept the new tech. always leave it to someone to find something hidden in a message whether it was intended OR NOT, good for you, and thanks for pointing that out, whether intentional, or not.

Well on my new system 1 channel mono comes out just the center speaker

This is unfortunate

just like it is supposed to

Not necessarily. But obviously, given that this is the case, it makes 100% sense for you not like the mono-mix.

 

Also, you may want to use periods sometimes. I am really not sure what some of that post meant.

LMAO! Thank you professor, and if you can't read what I write, so be it, move to the next post.

Ignore works wonders here, you may want to use it.

DJ's over reactions to everything are pretty freakin' hilarious! What is that all about?

timdiggerm said:

Nah, I'd rather hear everyone's opinions?

and obviously cry about how it is written, very cool of you, and I to like to read, no ignore here.

Well let's see, ah, why don't you and tim figure it out, and I suppose you are a Saint here?

Over reactions, got to love them.

Eeeeeeh, no. You really don't. But to each their own.

I know, right?

Sounds brilliant!

skyjedikraly2007, now that is funny, sky won't like that though, but out of curiosity, do any of you read kenkraly's posts at bluray.com? sheesh.

I don't think DJ is looking for a solution to his mono in center channel only problem.
