How can anyone that has seen U-571 say to remove it from ANY best of bass movie list?

Top "50" "Must Have" BASS Movies (in progress)...
----
Total: 54

Either 4 have to go or make the top 50 a top 100? They are all deserving. Why not just alter the concept and call it a best of the best "Hall of Fame" rather than just locking in on an arbitrary number. New ones will come out that deserve inclusion too, but that doesn't mean the older ones are any less worthy as demo material. Just maintain this list's high standards and let it slowly grow as warranted.

I'm not a big fan of the bass in Matrix, it's OK, but how many of you use that movie to demo your bass, I sure don't.

Close Encounters is another one, until the end there is no real bass in that movie that I would demo - great movie though.

To remove 4 I would remove the following

Close Encounters
Matrix
DareDevil
The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift

There's better bass movies out there than those IMO, but hey, only because you gotta drop 4.

I like this idea better than a top 50 or top 100

Now the hard part is to come...rating them. Theres around 500 movies on the whole list.

It does? I've only seen it once on the movie channel - didn't like it much. Now I'm thinking about renting the thing. I just thought the movie was terrible. You sure there aren't any other movies out there with bass as good but watchable? :)

well i can agreed with the really low stuff in daredevil...pretty impressive stuff. I thought Fast and Furious had some nice bass throughout....while it is more music orientated...some of the racing stuff was great...maybe just me :) Ill still use the Balrog scene from LOTR to literally scare people :) I find it hard to get away from the top ten's for reference...nothing else really gets played!

The song is Machine Melt. This is the first two minutes of the song. It has some good bass at 20-30 Hz.

thanks I respect your judgement, if It was up to me to rate all of them, I give them what they don't deserve. I'm never satisfied when it comes to quality.

I could go as far to add half stars? If things start to get to close.

Hot Fuzz

I am going to assume that we are bassing this on quantity of good bass. I this may cause me some disrespect but I would move Hot Fuzz down to 4 because I thought there was alot of poor uses, that almost made it annoying. I still think that this movie is great though!

Has anyone seen Run Lola Run TrueHD Blu-ray recently. I just saw theBlu-ray edition last night, and I was really surprised in a coupe of points by the amount of bass. It has an great techno sound track. It got my pipe rattling at -21dB! Granted they seems to be only tuned to about 30-35Hz.

Panoppolite
02-21-08, 10:54 PM
Regarding "K-19 The Widowmaker" in the 5th chapter entitled "Crush Depth" About halfway through the chapter, the subsonic bass goes to near an 8K and 16K signal oscillating with a 2Hz carrier wave as they approach the submarine's technical depth limits. Very tough on subwoofers if not of the best quality. Can be felt quite dramatically and if the subs cover is off, you can see the woofer surround going back and forth while it vibrates furiously, but below hearing.

I would give Live Free or Die Hard at least 4 stars...just so impressed with everything about that movie from a sound perspective :) I think for sure transformers is a five star movie...anyone saying there isnt enough bass doesnt have the right equipment :) that movie was just awesome throughout...and of course the flip kicks some serious butt! just my thoughts for right now...i need to watch more on my system to get a feel!! :)

I agree with the 3 star rating of Transformers. The Bass was good. That's why it's on the list! But it lacking low stuff, and there are many times when you think there should be more bass but it's us not there. The ending action scene is great, but I really expected more bass when the robots were walking. Looking at the waterfalls there is nothing that stands out the way a 4 or 5 start movie should. There is a lack of red below 30 Hz, much less pink or white. Please link to a water fall that you think should put it up there :)

02-22-08, 10:44 AM
The thing about Transformers is that, with a couple exceptions, there isn't much bass in the 20-30 hz range that we're used to look at for low bass. ... But, there is alot of bass BELOW 20 hz. That's where the earlier comment about you just have to have the right equipment to experience it comes from.

For much of that movie, it felt like I was riding on a cushion of LFE, all tingly and endorphin producing but not really audible. Excellent bass!

I do though also agree that in light of the storyline there could have been more in the 20-30 hz range, and that the robots' footsteps should have been much more crushing and room shaking, so I give it 4 stars for bass.

This are the waterfalls I can see to really support the sub 20 claim.

Actually it was very disappointing..the only decent bass was the "Ironhide" flip. And that lasted 5 or so seconds.

IMO transformers was underwhelming and my PC-ULTRA and MBM-12 can attest to this....

Here we're seeing some of the difficulties in doing ratings. What are we looking for here? It's really a matter of whether we're rating things based on:

1) duration of hard-hitting bass
or
2) those with the absolute lowest frequency (those w/ 20Hz and below)
or
3) movies with a few scenes that are just truly world-class jarring, but otherwise doesn't have a lot of bass

For example, I'd say that the closing sequences of Monster House and the Darla tank-tapping and submarine sequences of Finding Nemo can hang w/ the best of 'em, but large portions of the movie have very little bass.

Then there are films like Apocalypto that have a lot of REALLY low stuff, but not a lot of the higher frequencies of LFE that make people think of a movie as a true bassheads movie.

Then we have films like Transformers and Sunshine that give your sub a good workout (though Transformers really works the woofers on your spkrs more than your sub) just b/c of the duration of the LFE, but don't get ridiculously low.

I truly have some trouble distinguishing which is 'more important,' b/c I think it would depend on your equipment and intent. If you've got a high spl sub that doesn't necessarily go that low and you just want a movie that allows you to feel your sub throughout, then Transformers is a great choice. If, however, you wanna have friends over or wanna check out yourself with the most impressive scenes, then you may be more interested in Finding Nemo.

I don't know that there is a real 'answer' to this. I just wanted to put it out there as a reason we may have trouble reaching consensus on the relative merits of each.

It starts early too ( lack of it that is) - ie scene that should have more bass but comes up limp: when the first helicopter robot attacks the US base.

There was a pause for the robot to load up his weapon & when he launches into the 'small' arms fire, it is weak.

I know there was capacity limitations with HD discs but even in DD+ it was limp.

I liked King Kong as a Movie, and it had very good BASS through out.

I don't care what others think on this one, but maybe I'm bias towards it.what I said was based on what I've heard to be honest...sub isn't appearing in my LR AOY.:(

This movie has 4 other scenes with sub 20hz bass.



Just watched this the other night, Ton's of LFE.

There might even be more that 4 scenes with sub 20hz bass, my glasses were rattling 20 feet away at my bar during some "quiet" scenes.

Thumbs up for me.
4 possible 5 star LFE movie on Blu-Ray.

Who ever mentioned the movie, DOA: Dead or Alive , Thanks. I just watched it last night on TV. It had some very frequent Bass ala Hot Fuzz. Maybe not as much but a reasonable amount. Don't know how low some of the stuff went, I wasn't able to play it very loud.

Was an OK movie, worth it just for the girls fighting, some of which is like those modern kung fu movies, with all the flying using wires moves.

You want crisp, accurate, punch a hole in your chest gunshots? Rent Mr. Brooks, and then let's talk.

Though it is for sure a much bassier movie, Shoot 'Em Up DTS doesn't rank in the gunfire category in comparison.

If we could get some waterfall charts of 30 days of Night, I'm pretty sure it will fall in the 5 star range.

There was some seriously low LFE. Not so much that it was loud, but the "feel" type of Bass. Also one must have a sub that can go deep to fully appreciate....

I watched 30 days of night and that had many scenes with good bass. Also if you are interested check out Solstice and Storm Warning these movies have many scenes with bass. I also did a comparision with Open Range and Mr. Brooks gunshot scenes and Mr. Brooks wins hands down for the best gunshot scene.

Probably because unless you know it, you don't think of it. It is an older movie(1981) that many people just don't have(I do). The list is mainly new(er) Special effect films. I happen to like Das Boot as well. SVS has it listed with three scenes on their website

Storm Surfing Scene 25(1:15:15)
Hitting Bottom Scene 17(53:15 side B)

03-05-08, 09:13 PM
I'm curious to know how many of these waterfall charts are for the LFE channel only, as opposed to the LFE channel plus redirected bass. I ask because it appears that some receivers suffer from an LFE hole problem, wherein setting a crossover chucks away/rolls off the upper part (> crossover point) of the LFE channel sent to the subwoofer.

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=991439


Some of us are wondering how much would be lost with a crossover set at, say, 80Hz or 60Hz or ...

Not sure of the time, but in Transformers, right around the time when Blackout gets killed there seems to be something going on. Not sure how low it is or if it is low, but my room just shudders with this. It is unlike anything else I have felt. It could be nothing but if anybody can check this out, it would be cool. It is after the "pulse" scene. Maybe if the recording can start a little before he is killed to after?

Mrkazador
03-06-08, 04:52 PM
I just checked that scene and most of audio is around 30+. There is a few parts where it goes down to 15hz -25db. When Blackout falls down it goes down to 25hz at -10db.

I figured out how everyone can use the same color scheme. If we all agree on my setup :)

Purple= 0db
White-ish Pink= -10db
Dark Red= -20db

Extract the attached file (SETTINGS.zip) to the install folder of Spectrum Lab. Default is C:\Spectrum

Cool thing about this is the settings.ini configures everything for you so you don't have to look at kweezr's Spec Lab Settings: View Here (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v24/weezR/spectrum%20lab/?sc=1)

That was my setup for a long time, but now I thik that it's better if purple is -10dB, White-ish Pink -20dB and Dark Red around -30dB. Actually, kweezr has the same setup. That way you can see the white-ish pink more often. What I'm trying to say is that the -10dB is very rare and if pink is at -10dB, all you are going to see in the graphs is dark red and some rare occasion pink. The graphs are not as clear if the pink is at -10dB.

By the way..THe Invasion isn't a great movie...I was surprised it squeezed out as a PG 13. Not gonna be in my collection for sure (BB rental). I would say 2/3 of the movie had sub 30 Hz bass hitting -30 or better(to -5). Very little of it was action related (gunshots,explosions)

Great. Let's establish a Waterfall-standard.

Put the settings.ini file in first post.

BUT, I tried Mkazadors settings file, and to me it looks like a mismatch regarding his edited post #1104.

Anyway - I would prefer NOT to use same color for different part of the scale. So far the settings file must be adjusted......

Flageborg, I believe my new color scheme is much better than the old (thx SbWillie!). It would be nice if everyone had the same color scheme but as long as the user posts his color scheme with the waterfall everything is fine.
Even then, if people don't want to use my color scheme they can use the settings.ini to configure everything for them. They can change the colors after.

So I got my Hsu VTF-2 Mk3 today (see here (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=13353647#post13353647)), and it's AWESOME! My room is pretty small so it's able to shake things with ease. I haven't come close to straining it yet, but it sure is straining my room. :D

I noticed there's no entry for Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence. It's filled with deep bass and today I really experienced it proper. These are my first waterfalls, so maybe you could help me interpret them. My color scale probably isn't perfect. I played the DVD on my computer in WMP11 with system volume at 100% and the player at 16%.

Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence (DVD-DD):

Chapter 1 (1:00 - 2:45) City of the FUTURE!
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/7969/capt01oq6.jpg
The first purple lines around 20Hz are when a helicopter does a fly-by. It FELT awesome.

Lots of guns

Chapter 7 (36:45 - 38:45) Cyborg battle

Grenades, automatic pistols, giant scissors, you name it

Chapter 12 (1:08:00 - 1:09:40) Togusa freaks out

Lots of stuff exploding

Well, that's the notable stuff for me. There's a lot of bass throughout the whole movie though.

I'm surprised Monster's Inc isn't in the Top List (especially since seeing Toy Story 2 is). There's numerous loud and deep bass scenes in that movie. There's one scene akin to the Darla scene when the huge monster crosses the street early in the movie. Some explosive bass there. And when there's power surges (screams).

Agreed on The Bee Movie. The scene with the tennis balls was excellent. It gives you that heebie-geebie atmospheric ultra-low bass. I would have liked the bass in that scene to be recorded a couple db hotter perhaps, but it's still excellent as is. It really set the mood and made you feel as small as a bee.

green starts @ -60, red at -30 to dark red @ -20, pink @10 and dark purple @ 0...is my idea.;);)

if green starts at -70 then theres way to much green smeared on the charts thereby diluting the charts.Roughly half the charts have this color scheme.

Your Velo will reach 20hz, but gives up a lot of distortion at high volume levels.(29%@98db@1ft) However if you have a small space with some decent room gain, and you're looking for some of the deeper stuff, your output levels at 20hz or so may be enough.

I'd doubt many people here are actually getting a perceivable 10hz and below. You're looking at massive DIY or IB subs to accomplish that. It looks cool on the waterfalls, but the vast majority of people aren't going to even notice that it's there. I'm good to about 15hz in-room, and I don't feel like I'm missing much at all.

As for your Hsu, the amp has a high pass filter that starts to steeply roll off frequencies below the tuning point. This will protect the woofer from over excursion. Incidentally, you know how the amp has a toggle depending on which tune you're using? That is what sets the high pass filter. This is also why Hsu warns to make sure that you use the correct setting depending on whether or not you're using a port plug. If you leave the filter set at a lower frequency in max output mode, you COULD damage your sub.

Oh I know that scene like the back of my hand. Mostly peaks with in-room response on my Technics SH-8055 at 25Hz when things slow down as Wolverine struggles to open the sliding doors then BOOM! The house landing or rather impacting was around or near to 120dbc at my last home. I’ll have to play that scene out again and see how it does on a concrete floor rather than a wooden floor.:cool:

there is actually no sound below 20 Hz ;) Just vibration you can feel and other things will rattle in the room (that you can hear).

Try placing your finger tips on the cone while playing sine wave tone. I tried a few in the past from the Denon Hi-Fi Check CD CO-75046 produced (1992) tones like 4Hz 8Hz 16Hz 32Hz 62Hz and 125Hz the infersoinc ones just move my hand up and down.

The audible tones felt uncomfortable like 62Hz just buzzed the hell out of my whole arm after several minutes it had tinkling feeling, kinder like [white finger] when minors are drilling with heavy machinery in the mines.

I bet you did with some mild 25Hz peaks then suddenly rising without waning with high peaks! What’s cool is the electrical storm the static sound buzzes all-around the room kinder fooled me, into thinking I’m overloading the centre back and sidewall surrounds.

*there was one part where my jar dropped...and i have Master...WOTW...LOTR's...Nemo (though Darla is ridiculous)...and when it was a steady 28-29hz around 15min or so and then it dropped down really low...just amazing. reminded me of Spidey 3 particle, but 12 times better :)

then he starts playing for about a minute and there's lots of bass coming from the pipe organ

Pretty good flick too (with the alternate ending).

I watched I am Legend and that movie was terrible. The only bass that was good was at the end. I will be selling my copy of I am legend on blu ray.

Let me throw this one out in case anyones interested.

Edward Scissorhands.

It has a very musical soundtrack throughout the movie, for those into the music side of things, and it booms/bangs along the way.

What?

I dont know if I had a bad copy of I am legend but I kept switching back and forth From DD and True HD to see if there is something wrong with the track.To my disappointment nothing for both the tracks. By the way I had the Blu Ray version, listened to the movie on dual HSU 3.3 turbos with an MBM-12. Watched it on a PS3 connected to the Onkyo 805 through HDMI.

Started watching The Mist last night...(ok, not a great movie)...but, wondering if any of the waterfall folks have checked it out yet. There's been a few scenes that seem to have some pretty deep effects. One scene pretty early on involves a tree crash and another I noticed/felt was during the "earthquake" in the supermarket.

Just curious if anybody had waterfalls or interest in doing them. The effects felt pretty low, but I'd be hard pressed to guess how low.

Yeah this was the first movie I watched after getting my Subwoofer setup!

i just saw the movie August Rush on dvd

there is a short scene chapter 21 (1 hour 13 minutes in) were this boy prodigy wonders into a church and sits down at the pipe organ. he's playing around with the keys but nothing is sounding until he presses in one of the preset buttons that activates the pipes and he presses down on one of the bass pedals for a second and it shook my whole room

then he starts playing for about a minute and there's lots of bass coming from the pipe organ

it's a short but powerful scene and a pretty good movie too

i found the scene on youtube. of course you're not going to experience the bass you'll get from dvd or blu-ray but at least it will give you some idea of the scene:

Die Hard 4.0 - shooting scene in apartment

http://www.flageborg.no/SVSpatruljen/Waterfall/DieHard4_I.JPG


Oh the shoot is well mixed and balanced by Andy Nelson, Anna Behlmer and Tom Lalley. I like it when McClane jumps back into the flat and flips a refrigerator onto its side then sits down with his back to it.

Suddenly WHAM! The door jolts on the LFE.1 with an almost sickening feeling knowing there is bunch of pissed off guys with automatic machineguns blazing away! The neighbours in that block of flats must be stone deaf not to hear what is going around them. :DLOL

The bass is throughout once the action begins. I'd describe the bass as sort of Godzilla-like or Jurassic Park-like. It's very good. I even liked the movie as well. It seemed realistic.

I heard rumours when specking to one of the staff members at Empire Leicester square a few months back on the telephone, that the sound was awesome on cloverfield (2008) with it 56KW JBL THX sound power.

She said it was “loud enough for blood to come out of our ears” well I’ll take pass on that, yuck.
