Question about the DTS/SACD version of the Titanic soundtrack...
This DTS CD has been out of print for a while, but I'm soon going to be able to listen to it (someone is sending it to me) and wanted to know about how the mixing is for this CD:
If you listen to the end credits after the now infamous Celine song, an edited version of 'Take Her To Sea, Mr.Murdoch' and 'Southampton' play until the credits end. The center channel contains only percussion and a bit of orchestra, while the electronic choir fills the front and surround channels (chimes also rise in intensity from the rears - powerful stuff).
Is the DTS and I imagine the SACD version mixed the same as in the film?
I'm hoping it is, as all modern film scores are recorded in 5.1 anyway, so it would make sense that these multichannel CDs preserve that.
I hated the mixing for the original stereo CD- it was almost in mono at times, but I've read great things about this 5.1 version, and if it is indeed mixed the same as in the film I know I'm in for a real musical treat.
Thanks in advance.
