  8. The Low Frequency Content Thread (films, games, music, etc)

    Stalingrad (5.1 DTS-HD MA)


    Level        - 5 Stars (112.82dB composite)
    Extension - 3 Stars (19Hz)
    Dynamics - 5 Stars (28.39dB)

    Execution - 3 Stars (by poll)

     

    Overall     - 4 Stars

    Recommendation - Rent (by poll)

     

    Notes:  Near constant DC noise, quite filtered below 30Hz, with some real content below 20Hz drowned out by the tons of big hits from 25-40Hz.  I measured the English-dubbed track.

    No problemo.  If you can, I suggest demoing a sealed sub system with a known excellent (flat) response down into the single digits.  The difference, at least to me, is most definitely night and day on content that delivers in those frequencies.  It's not even room flexing or anything like that, as I'm on a concrete slab.  It's the difference in sound that is readily apparent.  I can hear the same thing when Ospreys from the local AFB take off from the strip about 5mi away.  Deep, deep stuff.

    In Australia, can you graph 1:02 - 1:04:30? It's the cattle stampede, and where I heard most of the bass when watching at -30.

     

    I added that graph to its measurement post.  :)  Thanks for the timestamp!

     

    In the five star ratings I'm just wondering what I'm missing with Star Trek? I have the disc here (blu-ray) but don't remember it being a bass beast? Maybe I didn't listen at loud enough levels? I will watch it again but it seems an anomaly to me given the movies that didn't make the top bracket eg Dredd, The Incredible Hulk. I know this rating is backed up by measured criteria and respect that but the listening experience didn't seem to me to be worthy?

     

    I responded to your question over at AVS, but suffice it to say that Star Trek (2009) measures incredibly well and subjectively sounds incredible as well.  Check the numbers and the graph in this thread! 

     

    As I said at AVS, there's not much objective difference between movies in the top two rankings.  Dredd is overall not as loud, or as dynamic as Star Trek.  Neither is The Incredible Hulk. 

     

    But, it's not just the numbers in those measurements.  It's important to note where in the frequency response a movie's bass is contained.  It's often the case that content in the 25-40Hz range will sound much more impressive than content below that, since these frequencies tend to shake you and your room, and this is part of why people with ported subs often prefer those movies.  Movies with less in that range, but more below it, will have a different-shaped graph and a different sound. 

     

    The three movies you mentioned are more similar than not, but Star Trek has much greater difference between the quiet parts and the loud parts, resulting in a hugely different dynamic score.

    Dude hellboy 2 is a true 5 star!!! Holy cow that's an insane bass movie. It dethrones TIH for me as the king

     

    It's insanely good, isn't it?  I dunno if any one scene beats the fight with Abomination in TIH, but HB2 sure is good overall!

     

    May I suggest Fight Club? There appears to be some high volume deep bass in the 20-30 hz region according to https://www.flickr.com/photos/kenwulandlord/sets/72157627252051467/

     

    Already measured awhile back.  It's in the 4 star list, and here's the link:  http://data-bass.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/12-the-low-frequency-content-thread-films-games-music-etc/page-23#entry611

     

    Any word on the new Hercules or battleship Yamato?

     

    Hercules is up right above this post.  It's so-so.  I don't know about Battleship Yamato?  Can you link me to that movie on IMDB? :)

     

    Also, if anybody wants specific scenes graphed from a particular movie, give timestamps either here or in that movie's polling thread, and we'll see what we can do.
