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 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.

DareDevil has bass so deep..... - only the fewest can demonstrate - I'm one of them :)

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? :)

02-19-08, 09:23 AM

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!

Playing around with a waterfall of a song by Bass Mekanik.

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

The following get 5 stars for BASS from me:
- Titan A.E.
- Domino

Also, I saw the following wasn't on the list, I give it 3 stars for BASS:
- Stealth

I would bump Superman Returns down to 3 stars.

Man on Fire gets at least 4, maybe even 5 stars.

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.

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.

02-22-08, 01:09 AM

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 :)

OvalNut

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.

I agree, 4 stars sounds about right. There were a few very good bass scenes, and the guns sounded great, but I don't believe as far as bass goes, it should be rated higher than that.

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.

I think if we all give reasons WHY we rate a movie somewhere we can have a discussion about it and reach a consensus.

If I just say "X movie should be rated 3 stars" then ther is nothing much to discuss. But if I say "X movie should be rated 3 stars because......." then others can agree or disagree based on my reasoning. :)

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 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
Depth Charges Scene 21(59:30)
Storm Surfing Scene 25(1:15:15)
Hitting Bottom Scene 17(53:15 side B)

there's an LFE issue somewhere...

just played again for a client MINORITY REPORT track 8 and 9: Spielberg sound team is really amazing..... !!!!!

Hellboy also has amazing bass. and BLADE 2. Del torro of course.

let's hope Bay gives the correct master to Paramount for the blu ray edition. or i mean if Paramount does it job correctly...

simon_templar_32

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.

Mrkazador

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.

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.

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%.

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.

Agreed on The Bee Movie. The scene with the tennis balls was excellent. It gives you that heebie-geebie atmospheric ultra-low bass.

Great. Let's establish a Waterfall-standard.

Put the settings.ini file in first post.

Which .ini have we all agreed upon?

Sorry Dr. I'll leave text alone this time and hope its OK.
I would add "The Frighteners" the director's cut on HD DVD to the list.
Great bass IMHO 4 stars.

I say just post the schemes with the color graph..since everyone differs on how it should look.

or

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.

make up your mind? lol just teasing yah for editing your post.... I do it all the time

I enjoyed it. Too bad my Velo DPS-10 doesnt do the LOW frequency stuff :(

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.

lalakersfan34

03-21-08, 01:21 PM

What subs to Y'all have that let you hear (feel) frequencies below 10Hz??
I have an HSU 2.3 that is rated down to 18Hz in room. I can't imagine it putting out anything useful below 10Hz. Is it just going to force the sub into extreme excursions causing damage, or will it do something useful?

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.

could someone do me a huge favor and make a waterfall for chapter 10 on Xmen 3 when the house is coming a part?? that is one of my favorite scenes to show off and i would love to know what type of material there is in there....btw i watched Man on Fire DTS and wow!! i can understand why it got 4.5 stars! sick movie!

thanks! Ben

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.

just thought ya'll should know! Love this forum

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. Takes a bit of getting used to it does with Flight of the Phoenix.:D

*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 :)

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

bori

03-24-08, 12:35 PM

So where's "I Am Legend" on here? Just watched it and there's lots of very deep and visceral bass. One large explosion near the end almost seemed to lift my own room off its foundation.

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.

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.

bori

03-25-08, 01:48 AM

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!

That Earthquake quickly determined I had the gain a bit tooooo high.. No setup to get a waterfall though :(

I'm guessing it's pretty good stuff though. in fact the whole movie has a lot of good LFE punctuation!

Thank you Dr. for all your work on this forum.
Good catch on Craig.
I've started putting Red sticker dots on the spine of all my DVD's with Bass to make them easy to find.

Hit Man! DTS Lots of action and lots a bass! The whole movie has plenty of bass content. You're going to have create something close to the size of Niagara Falls to chart this one.;)

Ian :D
I watched this movie and wow... it had some serious bass. Might be even a 5 star bassmovie?

Alien vs. Predator Requiem Dolby Digital would be a great addition to the list, movie has some crazy bass. But then again I just recently upgraded my system ;). I'll give a review of cloverfield later on :O.

id agree hitman was good but i would give it a solid 3.5-4...i think x-3 and superman returns should be bumped up just becuase there were some scenes that my life might be in danger :)

hitman was a lot of fun to watch though....the hotel scene has some awesomee xplosions and gunshots :)

Yes, cloverfield should be on 5 star list already:D. Deep bass even in that bad robot scene and sound design is overall oscar worthy.

and thanks sbwillie for X3 chart.:)

flageborg, thanks again!

man that shoot out in the apartment is probably my favorite gun scene right now...though hitman is close, Die hard deff takes the cake!

btw, what equip are you using?? your theater looks amazing! little jealous actually :)

Cloverfield was very good for bass, just not as good as I expected, I dont think my equipment could handle some of the really low frenquencies, or it just sounded distorted because the whole basement was rattling. :D

so what type of bass are we expecting from cloverfield??

should this be on par with WOTW as far as the OMG factor?? Is there bass throughout or just the beginning sequence?

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

I only missed Die Hard 4.0 (2007) by just one day at the Empire Leicester square and had to settle with Transformers (2007) in 56KW of JBL customized THX July 26th 2007.
