    As well you should. Turn up the volume as loud as you like. The point is that DialNorm is not a dynamic range filter and does not change the mix in any way. It is a global volume setting, the purpose of which is to start all movies at a similar default volume. Beause DTS doesn't use DialNorm...

    Press Release Shout! Studios Press Release: JFK (1991) Collector's Edition (4k UHD Combo)

    Dialogue Normalization does not change the center channel. It sets a default volume for the entire soundtrack. It's no different than raising or lowering the Volume setting on your recevier. It just uses the sound of dialogue as a baseline so that all movies are approximately the same loudness...

    That so-called "signature sound" is mostly just based upon the fact that Dolby soundtracks are authored with Dialogue Normalization to establish a common baseline volume between multiple movies, while DTS tracks don't use DialNorm. This results in most DTS tracks being encoded with a default...

    This is not a Dolby issue. It is not a DTS issue. It is a sound mixing issue. The modern trend toward crushing dynamic range in movie soundtracks first starting making news in home theater circles back in 2015 with the DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track on the Blu-ray release on Avengers: Age of...

    I'll still buy it (as I did Natural Born Killers), but yeah, that's a disappointment. Especially since the theartrical cut of this movie was nominated for Best Picture - and won for Best Editing! Typical Oliver Stone, though. The Academy hands his film an Oscar for Best Editing and the first...

    It's obvious to me that both sides of this argument are wrong and have been duped. Aliens did it, guys. Duh. :P
