Tron:Legacy Sound Effects, some of best LFE ever

I think a few might damage their systems with this one. It's the first movie I actually had to turn down my subs.

On par or better than HTTYD?

I liked the movie, and plan on buying it on BR this weekend.

I was dissapointed with the above mentioned HTTYD. I felt the characters and plot were a bit weak. Too slow for me in parts early on. Some great scenes in the movie to be sure, so it's not like I hated it.

It was mentioned in last months issue of Sound and Vision Mag that the sound engineer who while attending all the movie premiers around the world took notes only about the sound while everyone else watched the movie. He said he needed to make over 100 changes to the DVD/Bluray audio because he didnt have time to make the needed changes due to the studio rushing the release and he even mentioned that after the world premiers he now had the time and tons of info to make the home audio even better than the audio in the theaters (inlcuding IMAX audio).

I saw this in Phoenix where we have a theaters called CineCapri whose claim to fame is that they have a bigger screen and more power than IMAX. The main CineCapri I go to has over 140 speakers and over 40,000 watts of power. I recall leaving the Capri being very very impressed with the audio, so this week when I have time, I look forward to testing out this movie on my system which many have compared to sounding better than any theater they've been to, but considering my small great room is running 5,200 watts of power with 6 subs (two main drivers and four MBM) I am really looking forward to testing the bass output of this disc.

Sounds like we need some waterfalls posted!

I watched the movie last night on blu ray. One thing is for sure this one is mixed hot in the bass department. I was watching it at my normal listening volume that is not reference level, and I had some objects rattle in my room that normally don't rattle often. I have four large subs in my theater. I'm sure that doesnt help.. This movie also has some strong effects in the front mains because in several fly by scenes and in the music scenes the LED meters on my dedicated amplifiers that power my mains where metering indicating that my mains where definitely pulling some power. I also thought the movie was visually impressive with very clean and crisp video and the color hues they used where appealing.

I haven't yet seen it but plan on picking it up. Besides the great picture and sound, was the movie actually pretty good? I know I'll just be getting opinions, but it helps.

The movie itself was not that good, but who cares. This disc will be to showoff my future HT

visual and audio effects were simply outstanding IMO. A tremendously immersive experience. I let my 6 yr old watch it too, since for once, there was no swearing, sex, etc...thank you Disney. He loved it!

My ported sub is just fine, thank you. It doesn't "make up its own remix of the LFE sound track effects". There is no extra noise coming from my ported sub. It works just fine, +/- 3db from 20 - 200hz. Good luck getting a sealed box to extend that low for less than $1300.

All in 7.1 loving goodness, I will pick this one up today.

LOL how random!

The movie itself was not great. The combination of good audio and quality video made the movie more acceptable to me. Also, any movie that contains Ducati motorcycles and the sound engineer gets the exhaust and engine sounds correct gains extra points from me. It really bothers we when they screw up the proper sounds for a specific car or motorcycle. I'm just critical because I ride motorcycles and really appreciate them.

Okay, thanks guys. I won't expect much, then, and will just use it as a demo disc.

Umm, the 12" Rythmik Direct Servo subs go to 14Hz for under $900, even less if you buy the amp & woofer and build your own box.

My 2cu.ft. sealed 12" plays low just fine!

I was not going to buy this one, but with the Amazon deal (got it for under $16 shipped) and I just bought a new 7.0 speaker setup (DefTech) it was hard to pass up. I currently have a single eD A2-300 and will be getting a second soon. Two of those beasts should be fun to with this movie

Well I'm not trying to start any fights here, I love all subs equally.

I know the benefits of each, and wouldn't mind having a decent sealed box to compliment my ported box. What I don't like is that 12ga said my ported sub was adding its own effects to the mix, which is most certainly not true.

I realize he wasn't directing anything towards me, rather at ported subs in general, but I decided it was necessary to call him out on that, mainly because many of us here including myself have invested a lot of time and money into this hobby and I personally will not tolerate such blatant trolling when I come across it.

The movie outright sucked.

But, with all these comments I'll have to get it just for the soundtrack.

I watched this last night with my son. My velodyne kept shutting itself off I guess due to clipping. There has only been one other movie where I had to turn the sub volume down to keep it from clipping and that was WoTW.

The part where he first gets in the grid...WOW!!! amazing bass from there on out.

Oh man - you had to bring that up! One of the things I miss most about my youth was my Duke!



Just picked up both on Tuesday... now with those remarks, I'll just have to watch it!

Saw this one at an Imax here in town that had 12,000 Watts. I wasn't that impressed with the sound or the plot when I saw it in theaters. Thought the graphics were alright, thats about all I thought was decent about the movie. Once I saw that it had 7.1 mixed tracked I figured I'd go ahead and buy it. Very glad that I did! I don't know if its the mixed tracked that suddenly made the plot better for me or just seeing it the second time but I actually enjoy the movie now seeing in it in my own room. Definitely one of the loudest movies I've seen in my room.

Maybe i'll consider netflixing it because I sure as hell am not buying this movie. A friend of mine saw it and said it was absolutely terrible. It's also not my cup of tea, either.

I thought the film was horrendous. The audio is top notch, if perhaps a bit hot in the LFE and surrounds.

Lol, my wife and I went to the theater to watch Green Hornet. We could feel MAJOR thumps coming from another room, I looked at her and said, I think we made the wrong choice here. She just smiles and called me stupid.

After the movie, I asked the little attendant guy where all the LFE's were coming from, he quickly apologize for having Tron turned up too high across the hall.


I'm with you. The Dark Knight rides an MV Agusta wearing a Dainese jacket and Arai Corsair helmet, very nice.

I got the chance to test ride a Ducati once back in '90ish, nothing of today. Very impressed (coming from a gixer racer), I came out of a corner in too high a gear, the sound of buwhaaaaa was coming from the bike, I thought man, wrong gear, I looked at the speedo and was going 90mph out of a 45mph corner. My assesment was a very broad power band. Where the Suzuks made power up high, the Duc was making power from down low. I would have raced this bike

You guys are really not helped. have the box at home and am in calgary until tomorrow. definitely watching it this weekend.

I must really trust you guys because I had no intention of ever seeing Tron. I read this thread before I went to lunch. I was at Wal-Mart on my lunch break and saw it for 19.95 and decided to get it. I hope the LFE are as sweet as everyone says. This could be my new demo disc. Dark Knight has been used way to many times.

I'm with you MJ. Just bought a new subwoofer today and was wondering what blu-ray to christen it with once it arrives. If it doesn't live up to the press on this thread, I expect to collect a dollar from everyone here that posted positively.

Won't go wrong with TRON Legacy but also Inception has some major kick a$$ low end. I had to recalibrate my audio after Inception a couple months ago. TRON Legacy's audio is fantastic.
