Thanks for doing the charts, Keith.

Yeah man this move has it all story, kick ass action and KRAZY bass!

Thx again Keith on a job well done!

 

[Scott Simonian]

Omfg!

 

[terence]

I know right??!

Gotta love it!

Scrolling up to look at U-571 and Munich looks pretty whimpy by comparison.

I haven't seen Running Scared yet but charts make the WOTW charts look wimpy too.

Hey all. I had this thread in the back of my mind when I asked about low freq stuff in another thread. I need to look through this thread some more, but basically it looks as though most of these are from the LFE channel? Anyone know if there's much low freq in the mains? I'm thinking about less than 20 Hz.

I have an SVS PB12-Ultra/2 now, and I'm toying with the idea of getting 2 more SB12+'s when they come out (mostly for trying to smooth freq response in my room). Yes, I know that more might not be better. Plus, the reason I'm asking is that I would dedicate the Ultra/2 for LFE, and then use the 2 SB12+'s for the "left" and "right" channels. But I don't want to lose less than 20 Hz stuff either. Thanks !

If I'm not mistaken the Dolby spec "allows" for full range (20Hz - 20,000 khz) from all 7 channels and LFE from the .1 channel. Even though the spec allows for full range it doesn't mean the individuals who mix the movies will or do use it. Since the spec doesn't allow anything below 20Hz in the main 7 channels the best you can hope for from the main 7 channels is 20Hz, but thats probably rare too.

I found that you can get less than 20 Hz in other than the LFE channel:

Will change my idea of how or what I want to do.

Yeah...there are moments in some movies where

Tom Danley (one of the actual geniuses in audio) has posted on his site a cool recording he made of fireworks on 7/4. Supposedly, the dynamic range and extension is truly amazing...and damaging! I'd love to see a plot of the final minute.

Hi Jack... I've been playing with this and got the e-mail and a call from Tom about their posting of this yesterday.

This will certainly ratttle the house and you can clip most any system with it.

BE CAREFULL!

When Tom first made the recording he analyzed parts of it and found the whole track to have a dynamic range of ~70dB and a peak to average ratio of around 40dB.

Tom said the bursts at the end have a wide mound of energy that was at a maximum at 25Hz but still equal at 50Hz and 10Hz.

On my system it is a very "moving" experience in the house. The precussive effect is very realistic if your system has good response and extension. Tom pushede the volume of the last minute of the track so it peaks just shy of 0dB on the digital scale. Again, play this at a lower level before turning it up.

A friend of ours has a very nice HD camera setup, so maybe next year we could have some more fun and add video.

ANyone have X-Men:The LAst Stand yet?

 

[Scott Simonian]

Got it yesterday...still havent seen it. Didnt get a chance last night to watch cause my dad was ripping it to a iPod.

I heard it has a 6.1 dts track. Wonder if its discrete or ES.

 

[Mike_J_Potter]

The version I have (got it on loan from a friend) is 6.1 DTS ES. I would love to see some charts on that, that movie gave my SVS a workout.

 

[DougDoe]

my SpecLab is screwed up so...none from me. 30Hz is showing up as 10 Hz!:frowning:

 

[EdwinK]

Anyone who can do these scenes?

 

[Scott Simonian]

Sooo...just wanted to tell everyone over here that, after many years of waiting, I am plotting my own graphs.

Just some random stuff.

Check out my first post and the dozen or so plots Ive created already...

Mark Seaton: That fireworks recording is indeed impressive! It will be so quiet, then all of a sudden there will be a powerful explosion and bass burst. Definitely start your volume off very low and work up slowly to see how loud you want to play it.
