    So the same ones then.

    Next up will be Underworld, Skyfall, and Cloverfield with this format. I don't have photoshop or I would shrink the pics and put them in the graphs. The top pic is the start and the bottom is the end and of course the bottom of the spec graphs are the start and the top is the end. Ideally putting the pictures on the side with the start at the bottom and end at the top.

    Yes it should. I am liking these new graphs and later once the rolloff is fixed I will post more. I will be away until Wednesday so there will be a gap here. Do I need to redo FOTP or is this getting the picture. You can see the extra spls at 32hz where your peak graphs show above reference.

    Oh, I will run the rolloff profile again with these settings and yes I know I am getting purple.

    WTF! Being the guy that I am let's just throw out everything I have done so far. Why? Because I just produced better graphs and I figured out that I am about 5 dBs down at 3hz! I am not sure my rolloff profile is good enough unless you guys it is. Here is my WOTW plane crash scene:

    Any films we want more than others besides going down the list?

    I have no surge protection from my equipment. The main panel has some kind of device on it that it supposed to protect. The lighting used times Warner's ground cable to attach to and fried the plate in the pole and fried some telephone wires but all fixed now. I will get some graphs up again this weekend.

    Thanks LFEman. FOH, Almost all of the breakers were tripped but how about this for lucky. My pool heater is fine even with a fire started by lightning on top of it. The only thing that suffered a loss was my cable modem and time warner cable is here now fixing it, I hope. My kids were really scared that night going to bed and after they fell asleep I cranked up Van Helsing and they woke up thinking another storm was coming.

    OK, good enough, 5 caps for this movie then. I will pick the obvious ones from the plane crash. I used my iphone for the pic just to do it quick so the quality is just so so.

    WOW! My equipment barely survived a major thunderstorm last night. The built in breakers on my main panel worked as all the breakers were tripped. We had a lightning strike one of our pine trees that was 20 feet from the house and then went into my pool heater. The pool heater, which is a year old, is fried toast and the tree looks like Darth took a light saber to it. I was at work and my family described it this way: They said that they were watching the storm through the glass doors and the skies were clearing up, so the storm was passing. Then all of a sudden they saw a flash of light and then a powerful sonic boom which they all felt the hair blow back and chest compress! Talk about close. Anyways my modem is fried at home so I graphed FOTP again but this time with bass all the way to 120hz and I took pictures of the screen and chapter times. Here is how a picture will look, can't get the screen caps until the modem is fixed,

    Oh yeah Max, I do have the input set just like your instructions.

    The skyfall graphs I have the cross at 150hz which is the highest my processor goes. I already did FOTP but the cross was at 80hz so I can do them again if you wish. When I run these the screen is 137 inches so I am not sure how good a picture would be from it but something is better than nothing. I can't help it but I will try to get 60 pixels as well because I could always go back to these. My next graph will be of the plane crash from FOTP starting with the plane losing it's propeller to whatever fits on the screen for one graph. I will take a picture of the screen at start with the chapter time showing and then when the graph fills up I will stop it and take the end pic.
  16. MKtheater
    I will do the subway scene as well.
  17. MKtheater
    Yeah, only the big boys hit low levels and high spl at the same time. Movies like FOTP have lots of high spl at 20-30hz but still has the ULF to add weight and that sense of doom feeling. BTW, all these are at reference and I adjusted my soundcard and set my crossover to 150hz to get all the bass. I used Soho's disc and when I ran 3hz at reference with his -0.5 dBs test I got dark purple at 3hz which is 0 dBs so good to go as level and color is concerned.

    One other thing, we can make this more specific because I am graphing many scenes because the 5 star and 4.75 star films have many. We could just get time stamps for the best scenes that create these peaks in Max's graphs to make it simple. You know you guys have created a monster! I did the same thing when you guys taught me to use REW and take pictures! I go nuts sometimes. With Priest I just wanted to show that it has an awesome soundtrack that is full bandwidth but just not very high in levels. Still sounds great to me. Of course you would have to like Dark end of world Vampire movies to stomach it but it is like the movie Legion. Also, I would like to post some graphs over on AVS but I am getting a feel if most there even care anymore. If not I won't bother but it would be as simple as copy and paste since I will have them done for here already.

    Guys remember that many of Bosso's were of his LFE system and mic'd and these are digital off the disc. Of course this leaves me to this question, How do I measure my system now to compare to the digital feed? If I drop off too much under 10hz then Bosso will make a quick sale of his shaper! I will assume I just plug my amp and mic in and play the movie that way?
  21. MKtheater
    The input is low but the output is good. I just want to make sure there is no clipping and the graphs are the right extension and spl. That last TIH confirmed for me that it is very very close.
  22. MKtheater
    A few more
  23. MKtheater
    Cloverfield

    I was curious about Priest so here are some scenes. You decide if worth it or not.

    Did not need to as using 1 for the decimation moved everything over and now my low end is very similar. At least now I know my processor, amp, and bluray player go down to 3 hz so if my system can't it has to be the mic not picking it up. I have time to do these every night when I can so I will work my way down the list that don't have the graphs. I will first graph the movies I own and maybe you guys can ship me a bluray of a movie you want too see if I don't own it. If it is at Netflix or blockbuster for cheap save the money on shipping as I will pick it up. I wish I had a bluray player in this computer as I could do pictures and chapters times like Bosso but my screen is in another room so I peek thru the door crack to see where I am while watching the computer. Should I do so many scenes in a movie or just the big famous scenes? Underworld has bass in so many scenes and it does go down very low! Same for FOTP! Man that roll is only 30 hz but the effect is jaw dropping not to mention it still had ULF to add weight! Let me know guys I figured these are two of the big hitters so I did them because they deserve them.
