When this score was first released, someone had told me that majority of the tracks were in mono. And so this was one of the factors that has caused me to hesitate getting it all this time. But just recently I here mention that its all in stereo.
Can anyone confirm this?
Oh and just out of curiosity, how many copies are left after all this time? This score has been on sale 2 or 3 times and it still hasn't sold out yet?

Most of it is stereo but some key tracks are mono, or sound mono. Very poor considering the isolated score on the DVD is fine. Should never have been released like this. Avoid IMHO.

This CD sounds perfectly fine. A splendid release.

I bought it in the sale a couple of weeks back, and it's been on constant rotation ever since. I don't care what the sources are, it all sounds great to me. If you like the film/score, get the CD, simple as that.

This was addressed on this very board back when the CD came out. The mix was Mancina's own, and his choice.

Thanks for the link, I had done my own search but didn't get such results.
So Mark Mancina purposely mixed most of the score in mono and approved it for the film, and apparently Sony also agreed to use it. Now my question is WHY? I know that official decisions were made, but they don't sound like Good decisions. Surely Mancina must have felt what he was doing was unusual. Why didn't he save a stereo mix just case it was needed later, like for a soundtrack release or a movie-based video game or something? I have heard of examples of tracks of SFX, instruments, and synths being removed from a soundtrack mix because it masked dialog or other important things, but what benifit would a mono score give you.......unless......you're trying to save bandwidth to insert more track into the mix??.....nah can't be, the music ain't that complex. What about the songs in the film, were they in mono too?
From BrendonKelly
I do say that I may not be the best at analysing sound but I think the disc is fine as do the majority of posters on this thread.
From Bromhead
don't care what the sources are, it all sounds great to me.
From Vosk
I have the CD and have heard it and never could hear any tracks being mono. Not sure what that guy was complaining about it being mono.
From MikeP
Agreed , it sounds great
From Allardyce
I just listened to the album last night and it's EXCELLENT. I love every bit of it, it sounds great, and it's a finely produced album
From Panavision
I have no issues with the mono sound. It makes no difference to me;
As sad prelude to the death of high definition audio........cue the violin.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are nowhere to be seen. Dang, did they ask for too much to be included on the freaking cover and booklet?
Yes.
