The New Master List of BASS in Movies with Frequency Charts - Page 239

Great for a one person HT. For everyone else in the room Reference is a good common denominator.

Hold on a second, so we are building these home theaters for 'everyone else'? If that is the case, go to your local theater...

I certainly take family and guests into consideration, yes.

Just watched Iron Man (2008) again. Never noticed the bass until this time around. I think in previous years, I had Dynamic Volumne ON = Midnight so I won't disturb others in the house. Now I have changed it to Day and watch movies loud! lol Time to dig up all the movies from the list on the first page! (well at least some, others I won't watch no matter how good the bass lol)

percy Jackson Lightning theif....Hydra scene

Try to turn DV to off and watch movies at higher volume (-10db or so)

Thanks for the recommendation, never even heard of this movie. Looks like a good movie night one.

I will have to play around with this. Sometimes, circumstances make it so I can't do this but will have to try it more often!

I know this is an Audyssey question so I won't hijack the thread, but when I turn my DV from Day to Off the volume actually gets lower. Is this standard? I was reading the Audyssey threads yesterday but couldn't find anything to suggest what the difference from Day to Off would be.

Dynamic Volume in theory, issupposed to shrink the peaks of the volume magnitude. Maybe it also tweaks volume valleys then? I am not sure if this happens but if it does, it may mean that Audyssey is boosting the median volume? I read somewhere that Dynamic volume is supposed to maintain an even dialogue across all modes but tone down peaks so large explosions just won't sound as loud?

Interesting how you noticed that though.

Dynamic volume will boost the quiet parts and silence the loud parts. By turning it off, the same mv you listened at originally will sound "quieter"

I'm surprised people posting in this thread --that is all about the bass peaks in film soundtracks-- would be using Dynamic Volume?  

Just finished watching The man with Iron Fists. It had some very nice LFE i would love to see some waterfalls. I would give it 4stars.

Red Dawn's LFE was quite nice

Clearly, as we can see by your sig...

Yes would not lay +10dB LFE on anyone else unless asked, for sure.

I am +5 db from 20 up.

Here is an explanation from my setup.

Red: Dynamic EQ = off, Dynamic Volume = off
Green: Dynamic EQ = on, Dynamic Volume = Midnight
Blue: Dynamic EQ = on, Dynamic Volume = Evening
Purple: Dynamic EQ = on, Dynamic Volume = Day

will u try EQ on and vol. off??

I watched House of Flying Daggers and the drum scene has amazing bass. I looked up on here to see what rating it was and it's only a 3.5??? The uncompressed Chinese soundtrack is amazing. Just wish the blu ray picture was as good as the sound.

I have posted different settings here:

James Bond movie with a decent soundtrack


Skyfall - Chapter 22 - Train crash

Skyfall - Chapter 28 - Helicopter attack

Oscar Best Achievement in Sound Editing decent in fact.

Curious where EQ on and DV off would fall on your initial graph here. Higher than purple?

For LFE not a 5 star, However:
If considered for all-around sound mix (including music and surround effects) I would agree completely.
My system is extension limited to about 16 Hz - that said; I think Skyfall had some of the best "all-around audio quality". It's demo-quality; for my visitors

Hi Flageborg
I have downloaded the same software "Spectrum Lab V2.75 B12"
I was wondering which microphone you are using to feed the software
The mic I have is a cheap one. On the waterfall display, I am seeing good levels from 1500Hz and below. However, I think my cheap mic is not picking up anything over 1500Hz. The waterfall is blank above this freq.
I would like to get a good mic to make the same analysis like you are doing.

Also, what is the name of the color palette you use. I am using one called "spectrogram" with a black background. I like your palette, but don't seem to find the exact one you have selected.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Anybody do a Spectrum Lab graph of this...

Apocalypse Now - Ride of the Valkyries scene.

Hey Flageborg,

Thanks for the graphs but I think you should check your chain's gain structure. Just like a year ago, you're clipping again. As a result, I don't think anything in Skyfall was quite as hot as you're showing.

Hi.
It is important to know what actually is recorded - in any setting - so you know what to "look for"
and that is why I am only recording soundtracks directly from media, such as Bluray, DVD, CD, YouTube etc.

To measure a system, I am using PC with REW V5, M-AUDIO FireWire Solo og Behringer ECM8000
My color palette is "too many colours". You find it second from bottom in the list.

Ask Audyssey and read more here: How does Dynamic EQ work?
