The New Master List of BASS in Movies with Frequency Charts - Page 232

I could be wrong but I think the clipping sound is the soundtrack and not your speakers or we would have fried something by now with. It was recorded that way so no matter how loud you play it you should still hear it. Now Tron is a loud movie so it could clip some lesser speakers and subs at reference. I watch Tron at reference all the time and never had any problems and my amps are not clipping, it is the soundtrack itself.

How can you watch Tron at reference level? With my newly acquired PSA XV30 I watched a few scenes and I was starting to get sick from all the bass at -10 from reference. Lol,

Sorry for double post (dang phone)

You mean triple post.

Maybe I am not properly explaining what I hear. I am referring to "clipping" as noticeable distortion. And yes, I notice this distortion at lower volume. Thus, I lower the volume before getting to that scene. Kinda sucks, if you ask me that Disney let this pressing get a pass. Someone should be demoted.

Do I worry when playing back heavy metal that I'm going to damage my speakers? Nope (ears maybe), and rock guitar is full of clipping. But its clipping in the recorded material, not clipping caused by exceeding the headroom of the reproduction chain.

Try watching Immortals OR the Hubble 3D launch scene. That clipping is from the recording so changing the volume won't prevent you from hearing it.

I watched it at reference and my subs were 5 dBs hot with a 3 dBs boost below 20hz. So 20hz and under was 8 dBs hot. I demo like this all the time.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. 4.0*

During the movie I was thinking about rating this a 4.5 due to the levels of the bass. Not much bass variety on this one. A few textbook sweeps probably not extending much below 20. However after the movie I was left wanting. The lack of originality in effects and lack of any significant wow moment with ULF, left me feeling a solid 4 STARS was prob more applicable.

With all this talk about clipping, does anyone in here get clipping when they watch X men First Class? Is there any known scenes in that movie which has clipping?

only movies I know of clipping are immortals and Tron

Wasn't there some massive sub clipping on Star Wars Clone Wars when one spaceship does a fly by?

Yeah speaking if clipping,I noticed clipping in my rear speakers during the whale scene in Finding Nemo when the whale stops and let's out a loud yell. Anyone else?

Clipping on Tron does get to me a bit.

One my favorite scenes is in X-men first class. The Russian Jet fly over!! Short but sweet!


Anyone know if there is any LFE in Denzel Washinton's Flight??

I don't know if it is my set up but I was a bit disappointed due to the lack of lfe during the airplane scene. (Quad LFM-1 EXs) Still enjoyed the movie though!

Wasn't your setup. There was not much in the way of LFE to speak of in that scene.

I just got a new Klipsch RW-12D sub and I set up dual subs with my Klipsch Sub-10. I ran Audyssey and put on Flight Of The Phoenix. The couch and my chest were shaking and I thought my back window was going to blow out. I have yet to find a better demo than the sandstorm in Flight Of The Phoenix.

+1. I've read that typical guitarists will say an amp running at 10% THD is playing clean! Also, FWIW, I was poking around yesterday and ran across an article on achieving loudness in final masters (early 2000s IIRC, not Mixonline but one of the simllar mags) and it pointed out a trend to intentionally digitally clip drums. Like to clip 100 consecutive samples or so for each bass drum hit. Claimed it changed the sound of the drum but didn't sound like distortion. What those kooky recordists will do . . .

In regards to the question about Flight, Great Movie, but very little LFE.

A lot of members feel WOTW is the best reference scene...I think because of the ULF...but I think the plane roll and "pulsing" it creates is much more impressive.

I just watched Black Hawk Down. I found the bass to be pretty disappointing? There was not one scene which featured some ULF content except for one RPG explosion. Why does it have a 4.5 rating on this list?

Am I the only one who thinks this?

It's because your set up is not capable of doing the scene justice. It's the Irene taking off scene that has the ULF. I have quad EXs and still can't do the scene justice lol. Only time I thought the scene was awesome was when I heard it in a quad LMS5400 set up

Another reason why I think the scoring should be changed. Or at least change the name of the thread to "BASS REFERENCE LEVEL MOVIES" or something.

Wut yu talkin bout Willis??!!

This not a big bass movie but I watched "Safety not Guaranteed" last night and without giving away the ending too much, there is about 60 seconds of great deep loud bass that shocked me. The movie was not bad at all, I actually enjoyed it but it is a drama / comedy with no action at all. That is why the ending shocked me. It filled my theater room with LOTS of energy.

+1

A very good movie with an awesome scene at the end....made my room feel like what was going on during the scene.

Shocking scene and sound at the end.....
