The New Master List of BASS in Movies with Frequency Charts - Page 75

What I find funny is that we all love FOTP as it hits the highest spl of any movie I have demoed but does it really go that deep? I think the plane roll is why it is so impressive, it just goes on with awesome pressurization!

WOTW is for sure the go to for demo purposes between it and Hanna. Others I have been using lately are Tron Legacy and still the Dark Night. I have not run TIH or HTTYD in a long time and maybe I should!

Cool. My PC is way too slow for BD.

I suggest that you increase the size of the amplitide bar to 125, and set the scale to 130%. Then adjust your soundcard volume so peaks never hit 100 %.

Can you adjust the internal individual channel mixer coefficients in the Dolby Digital sound mixer, or is that information hidden from your view with no way to adjust?

Like this one?

Any of these programs available for Mac??

I can choose between Movie, Music and Game...

I watched a few of the recent mentions in the past week.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose definitely needs to be on the list, although I don't think it's beyond a 4.0-4.5. Probably tending towards the lower range list. I really didn't think there was much LFE compared to a lot of flicks on this list, but what it had was solid and seemed to dig deep. I did find the movie to be reasonably good, not great, though that doesn't count for anything here.

Conan The Barbarian (2011) was such a terrible movie, it took me three nights to finish it. However, it has a few scenes with decent-to-good LFE. I can't even remember if I thought it was very low, and my system can't go below about 14hz with any authority, but the amount of bass here qualifies it for probably a 3.5-4.0 rating. I wouldn't recommend buying or renting it, though, as it's so bad that it's hard to watch.

Cowboys and Aliens was a decent flick with gobs of LFE. I don't know what the last two people to mention it were watching, but it wasn't what I saw. The Bluray has huge amounts of LFE. It felt like it was mostly in the 20-40hz range, but it's still huge. And, it wasn't terrible to watch. It was goofy and hokey, and the love story was a complete waste of time, but overall it was pretty decent. Definitely worth watching.

As an aside, where are the updates to the original post? No offense, lfe man, but I hope this isn't another Dr. PainMD.

That must be for PL-2, not DD. Same thing is a receiver. You have to pick which PL-2 decode you want to use.

Close. Increase the scale up from 130% in 5% increments. When you see the number 100% mark the 100% point, that is where I leave my scale set.

125% on my SL setting looks like your amplitude scale (no 100% number shows up). 130% brings up the 100% number on my program. Personal preference is the reason I like to see the 100% number at the top of the amplitude scale.

I wish that they used a dB amplitude scale (log) rather than a % scale (linear).

That airplane scene was awesome! I was totally caught by surprise!

Just watched it for the first time. Very fun movie! I do think that the sound engineers were trying too hard--deep, loud bass when the scene didn't really justify it. I don't really care though

My wife and I went to see the new Sherlock Holmes and MI:4 this last weekend. Both had plentiful bass, in both depth and extension (the last part being subject to a theaters constraints of course). While I remember the first Guy Ritchie Sherlock had some bass in it, I was still surprised by how much was in the new one. I think this will be a fun title to watch for when it comes out on BR/DVD.

On a side note, if any one here is subjected to watching One Day, there is a nightclub scene towards the end that had a surprising amount of bass. Not worth watching the film over, but if your S.O. makes you, that one scene is fun.

Ok... Elektra. Guys, this one is absolutely NUTS. Blu-Ray audio was in DTS Master 5.1.

Above 20Hz, this one is a total monster. It tried to rearrange my internal organs several times via the tapped horns. Below 20, well, it's kind of a mixed bag. Most scenes don't seem to extend that low, but they are loud. That said, there are a few scenes that bring the extension to the party as well. The kitchen explosion by itself is completely insane, not to mention the couple of scenes where it surprises you with a rumble fest that would just about rival the WotW pod scene. I ain't kidding.

This was already worth the five bucks out of the discount bin just for Jennifer Garner. The fact that it brings the goods in the LFE as well is a nice surprise. Mine was hardly the only copy in the store... nobody should have trouble getting his hands on this movie.

Could well be a five star, but I don't have the extension to say for sure. What I can say for sure is it's at least good for four and a half. Reminds me of Thor, actually.

So, my vote's four and a half. Will get around to Drive Angry in a couple days.

As for the movie itself... not as bad as I was expecting. Not good, mind you, but not bad either.

Iron Man 2, agreed.

Iron Man 1, disagreed... I think they're both good for 4.5.

Conan, haven't seen it yet.

Emily Rose... maybe on that one - I should watch it again.

Hanna - I voted four, but could see 3.5.

KFP, haven't seen in a long time, no real interest in seeing it again.

Star Trek '09... not sure I agree there, it does have a lot of extension in places. That said, 4.5 was my original vote for that one.

Expendables, I'm ok with four there. It just doesn't do it for me like even a 4.5 would.

Oh, and I'm downgrading my vote on Machete to four stars. Maybe three and a half. Not enough scenes that bring the bass. Cowboys and Aliens sounded like another four and a half... maybe four. Can't remember much - too tired that night.

Caught iron man 2 on EPIXHD. Didn't watch it, terrible movie. But when i was channel surfing the part when war machine flys by the base was on. Damn, my walls were vibrating. This was broadcast so i can imagine the BD being better.

This is with 135% and where I should leave my scale set?

have people noticed that Iron Man 1 is like several db lower volume than Iron Man 2?

Yes.

Looks good. I just prefer to see the 100% number on the top of the scale with enough room to spare.

50% is the -6 dB FS level.

Iron Man 2--agreed

Iron Man--keep at 4.5

Conan--Haven't seen

Excorsim of ER--Haven't seen

Hanna--Haven't seen

KFP2--Agreed

Star Trek 2009-Personally I'd put at 4 stars. Never a 5 star in my book.

Star Trek 2009 is an easy 5 in my book.

Just watched M&C & Tron and i didn't think there was any crazy bass scene, not what i was expecting with all the hype they get in this thread. in Iron man 1 where he's walking out the cave in the robot suit, i thought it digs deeper than any other part on the entire m&c and tron movies.

Off to watch Thor and WOTW hopefully i won't be disappointed.

If you did not think those movies had much bass then you must have a 4" sub or your system is not hooked up right.

For M&C, you need the DVD version. The BR version is neutered

Something's off though if Tron didn't do it for you.

I didnt mean as quantity, more like deep bass I guess. Or maybe i wasnt playing them loud enough? (-35db) I'm watching Thor now and it's much better (-20db) my Couch it's shaking violently with Thor. I just didnt get that from mc and tron. However I did get the best surround experience from M&C

I have a PB13 ULTRA corner loaded.

Wow so the DVD version of M&C IT'S BETTER? darn it. Well at least I got the bluray on sale for $6 bucks at best buy

Tron should be giving you a LARGE grin in the LFE department and is one of the top 2 or 3 LFE tracks from last year IMO. Check your low end freq resp or maybe you just need to up the volume.

Edit: I assume you mean Tron Legacy and not the orignal correct?

Yeah, there's just a wee bit of difference between Tron and Tron Legacy... I should have mentioned that.

So... nobody but me is willing to try Elektra? I'm telling you guys, it does bring the goods

Columbiana- Not at the top of an LFE shootout for sure, but well balanced and memorable. Worthy of mention on this thread.

I put Elektra in my que because of your post OW. Looking forward to it
