The New Master List of BASS in Movies with Frequency Charts - Page 67

Watched the directors cut BD of the watchmen.

Not overly crazy on the bass but it was still a great movie and the additional footage gave the movie a more complete feel. For bass heads probably just a 2.5-3ish.

The one big bass scene would probably the sequence on Mars.

What program is that all you folks use to measure the bass? What do I need to do to get some cool measurements like that?

Speclab, there should be a link on the first page to DL it.

cowboys and aliens seem to be missing bass...the launch and what follows was very good, but the rest just seemed to be lacking .

I agree. The funny thing is that the bass seemed to have more authority with the Alien moving around then the explosions, especially in the first couple of scenes.

Finally got around to Captain America. Four stars for the DVD version... didn't seem to have much below 20Hz.

Tron Legacy

Scene 7: From beginning - first part...
Scene 7: skipped to where race begins...

Check out Drive w/Ryan Goseling. I'd be really interested to see what speclab shows. Doesn't seem to got too deep, with the exception of the Mustang chase scene but lord there is lots of bass, both in the effects and in the soundtrack.

It's really a great sound job... one of my favorites of the year.. watched it again last week, and it's really solid (not in terms of low end, but craft, dynamics and style.)

As another side note, I watched the first half of "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" yesterday... again, nothing earth shattering to report on low end (although the score is beautiful with great warmth), but a really subtle, dense track, great surround work, fantastic dialog reproduction, and detail detail detail.... highly recommended as a study of the craft of film sound..

Can't wait to see it. Can you get me a copy? I use to drag race at street meets and at the local track.



Ian

Ordered this from Netflix after reading your comments and watched it a few nights ago. The bass is really strong on several parts in this movie. Even at the begining attack scene my room was pounded with deep low bass. A great find..... thanks

Your welcome. You probably got the copy that I just sent back.



Ian

is it 5 days of war or 5 days of august??

Au contraire:

I rented it.


Ian

Nothing really below 20 but the heartbeats and bass strobing from about 40z to 22hz were pretty cool. The whole movie is judiciously sprinkled with this type of bass and some okay explosions.

It looks like it is not compatible with Mac?

Sorry...

:-(

Just watched 5 days of war/august. Pretty darn good!

The new Apes movie didn't have much to offer in LFE.

Does anyone have anything on Kung Fu Panda 2? The first one had great bass and the second one seemed to have it too but that was in the movie theater. How is it on a real system?

I hate when you guys get this stuff before I do!



Ian

Kung Fu Panda 2 has an outstanding sound track. The Bass in this dvd is sure to please everyone, it has another "skadoosh" type scene that hits very hard!

No bass, for Apes?



Ian

If it had anything ultra low I missed it. Some good upper bass in parts but I didn't hear (or feel) anything really down low. Maybe one or two scenes that sounded more impressive than others but that's it. Someone can measure it and prove me very wrong, though. I was drinking rather heavily while enjoying the movie, so you never know...

My impression of the BD's LFE matches yours. The overall sound design was just fine but I detected no earthshaking LFE.

The film "Hanna" needs to be added to this list. I watched it at a friends house, and he has a purpose built home theater with Wilson Audio mains, surrounds, subs, and two trw rotary's. It clipped one of his subs. The room sounded like it was stretching in some scenes. There weren't tons of those scenes though. So I give it a 4/5 for LFE. Great movie too.
