I'm constantly changing my speaker volume
levels, mostly the center and surrounds
to get a particular movie to sound better.
Sometimes it's low dialogue, or surround
efx that I know are there, but I can't
hear. I take it there is some kind of
standard level the audio guys on the film
are working to when they do a final mixdown
and when the DVD is made, but every film
seems to have different levels. Maybe they
should put bars and tone on the DVD before
the film starts.
I have a B&K 4090 which was set up using Video
Essentials and a sound pressure meter. My speakers
are Paradigms, all matched.
Anybody elese find themselves adjusting individual
speaker volume from film to film?
