Has anyone here compared the Prince of Egypt DD and DTS Tracks? I have...(I bought the DD originally and I liked it so much I had to get the DTS one).
The DTS track is certainly clearer, BUT...I think I like the Dolby Digital one better. The DTS track has mixed the sound effects track up so much louder than the DD version, that the music gets a little lost. If I turn up the volume high enough to FEEL (and enjoy) the choral and orchestral swells, I am blasted away by the effects (like stone grating on stone, the sounds of whips, water sounds, etc).
I am torn, because the DD track isn't as sparkling as the DTS (maybe that's just from louder effects), but I don't think I like the mix of the DTS as well. So I kept them both.
It's all in the mix.
