for any of you that might get the shrek 2 dvd, let me know if you hear any probs with the DD 5.1 mix..? there were several times in the movie where i heard what seemed to be a bad recording, and other times, just a plain bad mix.
here are a few examples.
-when shrek and fiona are in bed in the castle, and shrek cant sleep, there is a song playing as the camera does a close-up of the clock on the wall. the song has very hollow chimes and the voice of the singer seem to make my right front speaker get a buzz or muffle to it.
-when shrek, donkey, and puss are approaching the potion factory, there was an audible buzz in the left surround channel. now, it could have been intentional to simulate the 'factory' sounds that might be coming from the building, but it seemed out of place. not to mention, it was in the left surround, but the factory was on the right side of the screen.
-and the last thing i heard was when donkey has been changed into the horse, and he and shrek are trying to get back to the castle to save fiona. there is a part when he runs across a cobblestone street, and his hoofs make a clankty-clank sound. the mix in this scene is poor cause it sounds like the hoofs move from left surround, to the center channel too fast. almost like he hopped from one speaker to the other. just didnt sound natural.
anyway, those are the few things i can remeber. if any of you get a chance to watch this dvd, let me know if you have the same audio abnormalities. thx.
