Frequency waterfall charts of a few familiar favourites (1 Viewer)

[MingL]

Well, there is indeed deep bass going on. This occurs at 00:06:50. Its deep and outright obvious, unlike explosions.

 

[Jon_Krug]

MingL, still curious about jurasic park 3.

 

[Jeremy Stockwell]

Jon,

Check this thread. It links to Rudi B's website. On it are 3 charts from Jurassic Park 3.

Hey Rudi B,

These guys don't know it yet but the Darla sence is a KILLER! Trust me guys this is one by far the best DIsney has put out far as picture & sound! Excellent demo disc.

I have had a copy of the "Finding Nemo" for 2 months now DD & DTS, you probaly have the same screener. If you can post the sence when the submarine is sliding off the cliff. Man talk about bringing the the house down! my HT has not been fill with that much bass since the Haunting (door Knock)also the mine field explosion is not bad either.

 

[Rudi B]

Tee,

Ah, here they are!

Yeah, Darla is crazy... Now that I finally have a proper receiver, things are even crazier... It is literally chest-thumping!

 

[terence]

Thx Rudi B! you are da man!

 

[Gordon Groff]

I'm surprised no one is talking about the whale scene in Nemo. I thought it tromped all over the Darla bass! I had it cranked pretty loud and it scared me :b

Gordon,

I definitely agree about the bass when they are in the whale. Don't know how deep it is (guessing lower than 30Hz, though, which is where Darla/fishtank is centered), but it is definitely loud! Perhaps this is one that Rudi B could post since he's done some of the other Nemo charts. I can post a time reference, if needed, sometime this weekend.

A couple of transient hits are cool too like the barracuda close-up at the beginning and when the pelican hits the window.

BTW, anybody know what happened to MingL? He hasn't posted here for a few weeks and never responded to an e-mail that I sent him a while ago. Ming? Ya out there??

 

[Lewis Besze]

I think the Darla scene is something we don't "expect" to have that kinda bass,which is whu many people picks this,as it's easy to remember by it's "shock" value. I know I was.

 

[Rudi B]

Guys,

If you haven't noticed, there are four plots for Finding Nemo... Okay, so the whale is missing... Gimme the exact timings and I'll try to do it.

Also on my short list: Matrix Reloaded - that blowing building (red spots) and at the end when that ship comes in to rescue them... VERY loud.

And I'll have to re-watch Titan A.E. with an SVS now... Should rock.

 

[Jeremy Stockwell]

Don't get me wrong. I love the effect from inside the tank when Darla is tapping on the glass. It is unexpected especially since it's a quick cut from the previous scene in the harbor. You always here people with aquariums saying, "Don't tap on the glass - it scares the fish." It's a funny reference to that situation from the POV of the fish.

Like Gordon though, I was surprised that nobody had mentioned the scene in the whale since often when a new DVD hits shelves, the discussion focuses on the deepest loudest subwoofer-killer scenes. There are other threads here that are discussing the Nemo soundtrack and I hadn't seen the whale scene mentioned at any of them either.

Regardless, this is another excellent effort from Pixar and Gary Rydstrom.

I am still waiting for someone to do a nice graph from Pearl Harbor. Its not the greatest flick. With a 40min long action sequence along with constant explosions I gotta see some graphs!

BTW, do you need a DVDROM to do these graphs? Or just some sort of input on a soundcard? Either way, I at least have pre-outs for all channels on my HK525.

Oh yeah! Now this sounds cool. That would be awesome to see a graph for each channel (full-range) from some of the biggies. Im talking about the movies with all the bass in all the channels. Ooooo. I love it.

FINDING NEMO



OK,

Looks like at 1:10:45-1:11:15 is one (30 seconds).
If you can, there's some good stuff from 1:12:00-1:13:00 (1 minute) also.

From your other graphs, it looks like you can do up to a minute at a time.

Thanks for the effort, Rudi!

Jeremy,

Geez, those whale scenes really are crazy! Added. Also one of Nigel's window bombings.

And two Matrix Reloaded plots:

Scott,

Nope, everyting on the computer. AC3filter DD decoder, Spectrum Lab for graphs. You could easily configure AC3filter so that it would mix back channels into the front stereo pair and disable DD front channels... But I don't know, doesn't make much sense to keep track of that. Who has full-range surrounds anyways?

And if you'd like to see how that looks like, here's something similiar. A typical volume plot of the THX Cavalcade trailer (Star Wars) for all channels:

Nice to see rudi taking much heat away from me.

Watching Matrix Reloaded really made my sub work for it. Hammer coming in for the rescue is a pretty tough test for HTs.

I've have read at least one poor fella's Energy Encores burned and smoked during that hammer scene.

My PC+ was handling this scene pretty well and showed no signs of distress.

This scene can be one killer for speakers and subs. Thats sustained deep bass for those who have not heard it yet.

Rudi has made it good for finding nemo too. There are so many scene with deep stuff, thou Darla is the scene thats takes the cake for this movie.

I'll upload waterfalls occasionally. Keep up the good work guys and keep sounding out those scene with really intense bass. Lets keep this thread going!

 

[Rudi B]

BTW,

Most of these scenes in recent movies are also "lesser-subwoofer" friendly - they have a lot of ~30-40Hz harmonics.

However, I just gotta expose this song from the Underworld OST. ~22Hz stuff ONLY.

http://bass.jawmail.org/index.php?p=...d&c=now_i_know

Can't wait for the movie.


Rudi

 

[terence]

Great job Rudi! KUTGW! Rudi what track is that from the OST?

 

[Todd Terwilliger]

Hey Rudi,

Nice job!

 

[Rudi B]

Terence,

Underworld Soundtrack, Track 5, Renholder - Now I Know. Crazy. The most subsonic bass in "popular" music, ever.

 

[JohnSmith]

Mingl- can you find out (how) why this sample almost bottoms out my Rel Storm? The cone goes mental, even though I don't put it loud.

Taken from Wipeout 2097 CD.

Oh it plays fine on my new sub (SVS 20-39 PC Plus) No probs I have to agree with your waterfall reg. Toy Story 2, it really is low and loud, most subs bottom out (my dealer said his demo M&K MX-350THX has a little bit of problem with the logo slam), my Storm also chuffs & distorts as well. Again no probs with SVS :-D
