To be honest, if you have just bought a prologic amp, you should take it back.

It's yesterdays technology, they have all been supersceded by dolby digital amps, which are backwards compatible with prologic.

Prologic/surround sound/dolby digital, unless it is a film or has specifically been encoded as such, is not used with music.

Put on any old record that hasn't been remastered and you'll find problems. These recordings were not made for modern hi-fi and have to be updated to sound close to perfect.

wait, what? dolby prologicII is part of the latest wave of dolby digital amps, isn't it?

It is only dolby prologicII that can attempt to convert two track stereo into a 5 speaker spread, right?

when doves cry has a "clicking sound"? huh? I have never heard anything irritating in that mix, and I have very expensive Sennheiser (top of the line) headphones... and a good Denon amp with NHT speakers



i know. i just had to check it on my brothers sennheiser set to see
if i was missing something on my computer speakers and normal set..

turns out there is no hip hop reminiscent clicking in the song no no no!

In the studio, Prince was more worried about the groove. He rarely EVER took the time to get a mix right. He was more into the feeling, rather than the technical side. Its funny, but there were MANY times when the engineers would ask to have a little more time on the song to get it right, or a little more time on setting up the board. "You're losing the groove" would be a phrase that almost every engineer would hear at one time.

Prince knew a great deal about mixing but not enough to make it perfect. Perfection was not his goal.


Yep. In one of the Prince documentaries, Sheila E said as much. She said that before she started working with him, she was a session player for jazz musicians. She said that they were very into things sounding perfect ("tight sounding" is what she said). It was a shock to work with Prince who wasn't as interested in that. He preferred to go with things as they evolved in the studio.

Also, I think it's pretty much established that Prince works really fast and likes to get things as "finished" as possible so that he can go on to the next thing. So I think, of necessity, his notion of "finished" can leave others with a lot to be desired in terms of mixing and things like that.
Come here, babe.. yeah...

You may have a bad system. Especially with Headphones, Prince sounds wonderful. I have had my say with 1999, the album. It has a scratchy sound and needs to be remastered.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!
