maxmercy Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 MK: looking really good! Thanks for all your work. I replayed Skyfall just for the subway train crashing scene, and tickled the clip lights at -10MV on that one big burst you've been mentioning, JSS. This is likely louder than I will ever be playing anything by about 10 clicks, so I'm not terribly worried, but that scene is the real deal. Yes it is....look at the waveform on the scene cap!!!! Craziness....only Star Trek and Immortals have done that before... JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKtheater Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 What I did not like about it was the beginning and John acting like he was clueless(trying to be a father) when he is supposed to be the best instinctive cop ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hey folks, sorry for the so long w/o an update deal, been very busy. I have been longing to eliminate the rolloffs in my signal chain which are only partially compensated for in my current PvA measurement setup. I think I have found a way to completely eliminate all rolloffs and see bit-for-bit what is on the disc, LFE and bass-management-wise. Currently, I fight a BD player rolloff, receiver rolloff, and soundcard rolloff when measuring films. Soon all of these will be bypassed. More on this later.

Nicke Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Anyone seen/listen to Wreck-it-ralph,curious about that one since Gary Rydstrom is the sound designer,should be some hard hittings in the 30Hz region as usual with G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedocivic Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I asked about that a while back in this thread and most watchers were underwhelmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yup, 30Hz film. Didn't see the need to graph it, unless requested. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
club968 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Just watched Oz, there is soke major low frequency in this movie. I don't know exactly how low, but the fireworks scene shakes my insides. I would put this up there in priority to graph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'll pick it up at Redbox and see if I can get it graphed with the new, rolloff-free method. Any specific timestamps for scenes? Please provide them if you can, begin and end times. I'll also post a graph of the first Transformers, rolloff free. It is INSANE. You would need a Thigpen to replicate it. No promises I can get it done tomorrow. Been on call all week nights, and have call on Sunday as well. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSS To bad : ( well ok,then we ha to wait for The croods and Epic mrRandy Thom has a finger or two on those ones,first transformer looking forward to it i know i lowed the scene in the end when irondude flips in slo mo,need to re-watch that one : ) Did you know they are working on How to train your dragon 2 will be up 2014,hope Thom and rest of sound crew is back on this one : ) N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 If you really want a PvA graph for Wreck-It, I can do it, but it won't be very soon. I liked the film, but didn't notice much below 30Hz when I watched it. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmercy Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Me too. Too busy right now. Hopefully Oz by he weekend. As you know, I have been busy doing other things....but hopefully after a quick test, should be able to do PvA without roll off. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKtheater Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I will do some graphs again. Still bummed about the rolloff I can't correct so anything below 5hz will be down about 5 dBs. Meaning if you see dark red it should be pink! Pink should be purple, etc.. Purple is 0 dBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmercy Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Looks like it got the Thor treatment. I wonder if the same people were involved? In other news: Here is what we have been missing: Remember Transformers? Yes, the 6 year old film. Here is the old PvA: Here it is with zero rolloff: Quite a difference!!!! Want to see the scene? Single most ULF-Heavy moment I have ever encountered. I have yet to measure HTTYD in this same way to compare. No rolloff. No player rolloff, no receiver rolloff, no amp rolloff, no MiniDSP roloff, no mic rolloff, no soundcard rolloff. Just the data on the disc, WITH BASS MANAGEMENT.

Infrasonic Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wow. It's too bad that in nearly 100% of the time all that content will be filtered out. I know Dave is working on an even more improved bottom end signal chain for his system. Guess he might be the only person on the planet to reproduce that.

That red blob is 1-2 Hz! Are you 100% sure that's in the audio track and not some odd anomaly from measuring/graphing? Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Check out the graph on the side of he waterfall. It is real, and it only occurs once in the film. It is about a minute after the Ironhide flip, when Megatron first fires his cannon and shoots Jazz with it. Maybe only a handful of people would be able to do it. You would have to remove the blocking caps from the source, receiver/processor, DSP (if any), and amplifier(s) to do it. Then again the question arises: Could it be detected if we could reproduce it cleanly? With harmonics at 2,3,4 Hz, who knows? Any Thigpen users out there?
