Electrodynamic Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 So here were last night's very low level captures. You can see by the right hand side how low the volume was...but I ordered the Blu-Ray last night and as soon as it comes in I'm going to send the wife out for a few hours so I can crank it up.

Electrodynamic Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I kept the movie for one more day to capture louder screen caps. Note by the bar to the far right these are at moderate volume. I'm still sending my wife out of the house as soon as the movie shows up at my door. Louder screen caps: Sword Unbreakable: Breakthrough wall and floor: Kubo finds armor: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SME Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Nice captures! So I've only watched a handful of movies on my new subs. "Kubo" is the first movie I watched without seeing the PvA beforehand. What a lucky coincidence that that it turned out to be quite potent. I could tell right from the very start that it dug below 20 Hz. At the end of the opening scene is a powerful "blunt force" transient that I'm pretty sure dug well down into the single digits. The effect was disturbingly realistic for what it was trying to depict. And yeah. This thing has ULF all over. Infrasonic kick drum in the end credits song? Check. They even managed to use ULF in some of the dialog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Will measure this one. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDuke Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Going back to Logan, it looks good to me. 16Hz but it looks like there may be lower content that my Crowson will pick up, and a great movie to boot. Can't wait to give this one a spin. Plus no clipping makes it even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluescale Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 PS: I'm going to Shazam that song at the very end. It is no joke! Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9IfHDi-2EA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SME Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9IfHDi-2EA ?? That's definitely not the song at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluescale Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 ?? That's definitely not the song at the end. Yes it is. Here's a link with an image from Logan the little bit of spoken word at the beginning and end removed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SME Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Yes it is. Here's a link with an image from Logan the little bit of spoken word at the beginning and end removed: ... Oh, I see what's wrong. Electrodynamic and I were talking about the end song in "Kubo" not "Logan". Edited June 7, 2017 by SME 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrodynamic Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 The ending credits song is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Regina Spektor. Here are screen caps from the song: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDuke Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Actually, the Crowson transducers will extend all the way down to 1Hz. I have two positioned underneath the rear feet of my sofa (MLP). Well that's cool to know. Unless, mine are a bit older and the ones I have only go down to 5hz. Either way, I get a nice shake and shudder on my chair with the really low stuff .

Infrasonic Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Well that's cool to know. Unless, mine are a bit older and the ones I have only go down to 5hz. Either way, I get a nice shake and shudder on my chair with the really low stuff . How well they extend below 5hz has more to do with your signal chain (and it's all-inclusive rolloff) than how old your version of Crowson is.

maxmercy Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 1Hz would be very hard to feel, even with a Crowson with a signal chain with little rolloff. Our bodies feel acceleration, and the lower the frequency, the more the Crowson needs to move to have a significant enough acceleration enough to be felt. The difference between 5Hz and 1Hz is huge with Crowsons and a decently flat signal chain. Even the difference between 3Hz and 1Hz is a large leap. But I still have to work on my signal chain rolloff to be sure... JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Kubo and the Two Strings: DTS-HDMA 5.1 Level - 4 Stars (110.6dB Composite) Extension - 4 Stars (11Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (30.1dB) Execution - TBD Overall - TBD Notes - Does clip, mainly in the center channel. Decent film, interesting animation. 20Hz is used with many large effects for shudder, just like the PvA shows. JSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SME Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I have that one, this is what I get for it - http://imgur.com/a/Bin6h Any idea why your PvA looks so different from what JSS posted above? Yours appear to be higher resolution (longer window?) but looks smoother, so I don't think it's a resolution issue. Indeed, the curve shape and levels both look quite a bit different. Could the difference have to do with how the down-mixing is being done before analysis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3ll3d00d Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 -20.2 dB for all channels except the LFE. -10.2 dB for the LFE channel then combine into a single mono.wav file of the same Bit depth. that is handled via jrss downmixing (+ the additional single level adjustment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ll3d00d Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I tried another one and got similar results, hacked together a multichannel wav with a sine wave at a different frequency for each channel and ran that through jriver then analysed it, result is a mono wav with a missing channel 4, i.e. no LFE channel in the output. I'm quite sure this used to work so will report over at jriver forum to see what is going on. edit: see https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,111023.0.html appears to be some random defect in this particular installation of jriver :| edit2: turns it out it is a bug in jriver - https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,111023.msg767472.html#msg767472 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously time can change anything but as of right now this movie sits at the top of my demo disks. It is a kids movie so you can show it to anyone at any time and it digs DEEP and is dynamic. Major thumbs up IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. I bought Kubu but haven't watched it yet. How To Train Your Dragon is also one of my favorite demo scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
