The New Master List of BASS in Movies with Frequency Charts - Page 199

Which movie is better for LFE (and sound design in general)? Prometheus or The Avengers?

Gracias compadres, si it is mine

U-51! has the bass

Yep, not only does U-571 have the bass, it is also a good movie.

You can also check out Transformers DOTM. Just 2 hours of insane bass.

Is Pulse a good movie? Also can someone tell me which time frame of this movie that has ultra low bass? Thanks.

Pulse is on the 5 star list, so its bound to have a lot of bass. Don't know what scenes though.

Live free or die hard is one of my favorites

The computer lab scene. About 15-20 min before the end of the movie.

^^
Thanks.

Unstoppable what a train I felt like it was runing trough my room, I boosted the JL Fathom to +6db

Dude, thanks for the heads up on this flick. I loved it. Right up my alley....

Anyone has the speclab waterfall chart for her "gunshot"?
Do you feel the shot hitting your chest? I don't feel the punch, but my couch shakes with very gunshot. I have concrete flooring, so there is no way the sub can rattle the chair through the floor. Perhaps it's just the resonance frequency of my couch matching with her gunshots.

Cool!

i guess i'm a little puzzled by Prometheus. i watched it last night and thought the bass and dynamics were nothing special at all. i had to crank it up as well (-10/-12) usually at -15 or so. it was almost like drc was on, but it wasn't. no filtering in this correct? i rented it through redbox would the disc be different with that rental source?

Don't think its filtered. I found Prometheus to be mixed very well. Nicely balanced track, one of the best I've heard this year. I thought the LFE was great as well, not exaggerated, loose, or bloated....like I said, very tight mix. Plenty of moments to shake my seat and stomach with. Felt like the dynamics were better than average too. Watched at -5.

Just to check... is it the original Japanese 'Pulse' or the American re-make?

I saw this film the other day - depth charges were fun but I'm sorry, I really did not think the film was any good at all lol

Predictable, dodgy computer graphics integration... Definitely will only be using this film for the bassy bits in the future

I have to say that I thought Transformers: Dark of the Moon was much the same - perhaps all the bass is below the 16Hz my SVS is tuned to? but I really didn't get much bass at all

I get both, the couch feels like it has transducers in it. Then that super werewolf dude comes out and the room starts humming.

Why do they filter the bass on some movies? Is it to "protect" home theaters from destroying themselves?

Was wanting to play a really old Playstation 1 game recently and connected up my PS2. I must say I couldn't believe the amount of bass in this game. My god when I last played this I did it on the TV speakers. Makes me wonder if there are a bunch of old games where I missed out on monster bass!! lol

This waterfall is from the first opening video clip in Chrono Cross, right after you start a new game.

Waterfall is recorded in-room

I am a PC gamer and I can say that the major explosions in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 surely had some nice low-end effects. I play Battlefield 3 now and it doesn't seem to have the same "expansive" sound design of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 but the sound is better in some ways.

Perkele LFE_MAN thank you for this thread! I am still on page 8 and got some ways to go and learn more. Also thanks to all who are passionate about this thread and contribution of waterfall graphs and sharing opinion.

Just watched Underworld:Awakening and this was the reason why I am considering a collection of good bass movies. Damn, it will be expensive but fun.

I will rent TRON, I have not watched it yet, but as I read this is one of those that is a MUST have. May I ask which amongst the 5 star list which is a MUST to collect? I have the aura pro bass shaker that helps in the experience.

Some questions below:
What is [Rec]2?
The Haunting(dts) -> Who is the star on this?
Pulse - Who is the star?

Not very interested to buy but I will rent before buying
Cloverfield(blu-ray) -> Wife and I watched this in theater and we had a headache and didn't finish it.
Flight of the Phoenix
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Titan A.E.(dts)
9
Hot Fuzz
Inside(Ã l'interieur)(French dts track)
Battle: Los Angeles
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow(dts)
War of the Worlds(dts)


I have this already
How to Train Your Dragon
Underworld: Awakening -


Your comments are appreciated, those I took away from the list I was not interested to buy already like Lord of the Rings , only because Ive watched them so many times already

How was the new Underworld? I have all the other movie and was thinking of purchasing this one too. I am hesitant to start building a huge collection of movies or add to my existing collection because i am hoping they come out in 3D. Some movies are meant to be played in 3D

Yah BF: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 has some serious bass... granted my 2.1 setup on my PC only gets down to about ~32Hz. At some point I need to do an upgrade for my PC setup.

Did a few more captures from Chrono Cross on Playstation 1. Nearly every FMV cutscene is just full of bass also a lot of the magic effects have below 20Hz content. I'm pretty surprised there is soo much bass as this game, it's about 12 years old!

Dream Sequence - Start of the Game


Dimension Jump Scene on the Beach

You can buy it in 3-D. Saw it in the theater with 3-D, not a lot of 3-D'ness to it. I went to the theater since it was one of the first movies shot with the RED Epic.

Was it good like the others?

Yeah I totally agree with you on that. I think the sound dynamics changed for the worst in BF3. Almost every gun fired in BC2 had a punch to it. Thats certainly not the case in BF3.

Every gun I find, sounds too similar to each other. They all have that 'base' sound. The only positive was how the guns sounded in different environments. Being inside a building made the gun sound way different than inside. Although that was in BC2, it was improved in BF3. Thats about all.

War of the Worlds.

Zombie movie.

I didn't like Pulse - thought it was a waste of my time, even for the LFE.

Thank you Oklahoma Wolf, and just to verify that war of the world is the one with Tom Cruse right? I was going thru the mail, oh man, I am still on Page 13 and the list is growing for sure.

@Jonspicoli, Underworld: Awakening was one of the first movie that I totally enjoyed the Bass, No I didn't care much on the storyline, well it was not a bad story either. Some of the memorable parts are the ice creeping and cracking (this is not bass related) but I do have a 7.1 set-up and use inwall ceiling for the surround back gave me the suffocating effect that I was also inside trapped on ice.

Nevertheless, the bass of Underworld Awakening was the reason why I subscribed to this tread and highly appreciate (and curse) the addiction. The good part is I am not alone

Thanks for the confirmation that it's the American version
