    I hope everyone who has the ability to use SpecLab reads the tutorial thread and starts posting waterfalls! I will link whatever you post to the right film's PvA post. JSS

    Netflix confirmed Percy Jackson for this weekend, maybe Cloverfield and Inception. JSS

    Project X used an 'octaver' function on the music at times and boosted the octave down content by 10-20dB. It is a POWERFUL effect! Too bad 99% of all cinema-goers did not experience it..... JSS

    Got some votes for the poll, it'll be up until Sunday. Possibly Later this week: Possibly Lord of the Rings (it has been tied up in my queue for months) Percy Jackson Clover field JSS

    Poll added to 1st post on thread for Brave's Execution Star Rating and Recommendation for Rent v Buy. It will be up for a week. JSS

    Coming next week, some Lord of the Rings.... JSS

    Brave updated, and the SceneCap tutorial is up and on the forum in its own thread! Let's get some scenes graphed to add to the DataBass! JSS

    Brave Level - 4 Stars (111.96dB) Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (32.93dB) Execution - EDIT: 4 Stars by Poll, + see the comments below (Thanks!) - I did not see that film, too busy making sawdust. I would really appreciate others chiming in on this one. Overall - 4.5 Stars Recommendation - Buy, per poll. PvA: JSS

    Daredevil (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 3 Stars (109.45dB composite) Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (30.52dB) Execution - 5 Stars - This film's LF is done very well especially for 2003, and is not wanting for anything, save for a touch higher level to be in the very upper crust. I could just as easily give this film a 4. Overall - 4.5 Stars Recommendation - Rent if you do not already own. Although the LF is terrific, and it has a decent storyline, the CG in this film is terribly dated when daredevil is doing his acrobatics. The 'sonar sense' scenes are still great, IMO. JSS

    Running scared is #18 in the queue. Today should get DareDevil and Brave up, and tomorrow, if stars align, a new thread with the scenecap tutorial.... JSS
  11. maxmercy
    Agreed. Tremendous film, best use of dynamics since Gran Torino, IMO. JSS
  12. maxmercy
    Pulse is currently #20 on the queue. So about a month or so from now barring any delays. JSS
  13. maxmercy
    Battleship: Level - 4 Stars (112.2dB) Extension - 1 Star (32Hz) Dynamics - 4 Stars (26.57dB) Execution - 3 Stars - minus two stars for the 24dB 24dB/ocatave shelf filter startingat 40Hz. Overall - 3 Stars. Recommendation - Rent. The visuals on this film are so tremendous, that the soundtrack is an even bigger disappointment. The plot is trash, the acting and script are a reach at best, but they really made some menacing looking enemy warships and weapons, that could have used the ULF that was gutted out of this release. See the attached Original vs BEQ version, now a Full 5-Star film. JSS

    Infrasonic beat me to it..... Scott, when will TMOAOTTHTS come together? JSS
  15. maxmercy
    Drive: Level - 4 Stars (110.24dB composite) Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (31.95dB) Execution - 4 Stars - Very good, VERY good, especially the use of dynamics, but not reaching the level of a 5-Star, IMO. Overall - 4.5 Stars Recommendation - BUY. This is a great film. Attached - A Challenge for all of the ULF capable - In the end credits. JSS

    Also, little by little I will add LeqZ and RMS Peak as well as Overall Peak LF levels for each film, and add these numbers to the DataBass for comparisons. Some that received lower 'Level' readings in dBHz have some surprising readings....which makes for some peace of mind for some films that have very broadband effects that may be loud SPL-wise, but are too broad to show up as very high in the dB-Hz 'Level' category. Eventually, there may be separate SPL and dBHz Level and Dynamics categories.... JSS PS - The difference between peak and RMS Peak levels is the following: A '115dB' sinewave has 115dB RMS SPL, but has 118dB overall peak levels, that are at the highest and lowest amplitude parts. So when The Dark Knight Rises shows a 120dB RMS peak, it has 125+dB Overall peak content. Please consult the REW User Manual under 'SPL Meter' for further clarification.

    I Am Number Four may not happen. Problems with my BluRay Firmware. Strangely enough, before this latest upgrade, it worked fine... All links on 1st post updated. Should get DareDevil, Drive, and Brave done in the next few days. JSS

    Thanks guys! Once the tutorial is up,many will be able to contribute waterfalls for each film. Dave, I generate an Excel file for every film/track, I have one file with per octave data for each film for the max min and dynamics comparos, and one large file to generate PvA comparison graphs from. Steveo, I do see what you mean, but after measuring so many films, I can literally tell you what the graph will look like after watching it (I can't watch w/sound and record data at the same time), so it is hard not to comment on how quiet The Amazing Spider-Man was in the execution category, knowing that the graph would look 'turned down'. Same thing in Thor and Avengers. Very easy to hear the high pass...... I am Number Four tonight.... JSS

    Dave, Thanks! I think I have the system down now. But I am interested, what kind of code? Like to be able to do what Data-Bass does for subwoofers and the instant comparisons? BTW - DareDevil, I am Number Four, Brave, and Drive this week. Horton added to queue. JSS Thanks to everyone who appreciates this thread. I promise I am still working on the scene capture tutorial so that more waterfalls can be posted for each film, and the links will be fixed this weekend.

    Well, the links will have to wait. Got very busy today. I have the first 10 pages of the thread corrected with proper links. Thanks reddman! JSS
  21. maxmercy
    I should have the links fixed today. JSS
  22. maxmercy
    DareDevil had a bad scratch, but that film brings the ULF. Hopefully I'll get a replacement disc soon. JSS
  23. maxmercy
    Nope, I have to re-do the links. I think they got lost during a site update.... JSS
  24. maxmercy
    Daredevil and I am Number Four probably tomorrow or Sunday. Very interested to see how DareDevil stacks up... JSS
  25. maxmercy
    Good to see you here, tc! JSS
