nube Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 This is a list of the longest, most intense bass scenes from movies, as recommended by you guys. These are all done digitally, so they're what's on the disc. The SpecLab settings are the same for each graph, aside from a little time dilation or compression to fit the scenes, so they're mostly directly comparable. I'll gladly take requests, but please request only epic scenes that are more than five or ten seconds, not just loud effects. Give exact timestamps from the disc, if you can. Olympus Has Fallen - Washington Monument (0:26:55 - 0:27-16) Earth to Echo - Launch (1:16:32 - 1:18:02) All Is Lost - Storm (1:24:27 - 1:25:22) The Last Airbender - Water Wall Oz The Great and Powerful - Tornado (0:18:09 - 0:19:00) Pulse - Server Room The Wolverine Extended Unleashed - Hiroshima Nuke (0:03:39 - 0:04:29) War of the Worlds - Ground Cracking War of the Worlds - Death Rays War of the Worlds - Plane Crash Forum only allows 10 images per post, so continued on the next post. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infrasonic Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Nice topic! Good selection of sustained bass all over in frequency in here. Great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedocivic Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I can believe that OHF scene. I haven't seen most of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tealfan Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Awesome! Thanks for doing this. Belated thanks to the contributors for the Low Frequency Content thread as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Is 'The Bat' taking off sustained enough to warrant graphing here? While the lower registers weren't there, the effect was pretty impressive in cinema. Also the big scene in The Cabin in the Woods. Also higher up (31Hz I believe), but strong effect.

Bossobass Dave Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, CH 10. Over 2-1/2 minutes. It's a workout for any system: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Wow. Did you see that ALVH got a boost in the ratings with the improved measurement system? JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemX Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Requested: X-Men 1st Class: Missile scene ALVH: Chapter 10 Hey Nube, The start of X-Men 1st Class, where Magneto is tested in the room and gets angry, may also be quite long, from memory? I've never watched it but that shuttle launch clip might also be a decent length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemX Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Just thought I'd bump this thread as I think Lone Survivor needs to be added, going from the graphs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nube Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks, I had forgotten. It's there now in the second post, right where it deserves! Not super hot, but very good for such low content. It's better than F'ing Irene, and almost exactly an entire minute long. Good stuff, if you can reproduce it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbluemax1 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 How about the storm in Kon-Tiki? Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfe man Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 How about the storm in Kon-Tiki? Max ...or in triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nube Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'll see if I can scrounge up Kon-Tiki again. The storm in it was serious. I happen to have the storm in Triangle measured. Didn't think it was that great. Good, but not great - it doesn't belong in this thread. Timestamps are in the file names: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantisgrant Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can you add F'in Irene just for comparison with LS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nube Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Good call. It's just below the Lone Survivor scene now. Thanks for the suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicke Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The french dts track from the movie Inside might fit in here,check with max as i shipped him a copy of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfe man Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 ^^^Maybe dts hd ma track is better than true hd on triangle, at least bitrate is better. http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergleiche/multi_comparison.php?disc1=3857&disc2=3999&hd_multiID=1598#auswahl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seek Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Would "Pompeii" be a contender? My rig is not ULF capable as is (Fi Q15 housed temporarily in a 92L 25hz tuned BR, until I can finish the Lil'wrecker for it), but it sure enough beat on the house. I suspect a great deal of the energy is in the ~30hz range, but I may have missed a great deal of content below that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nube Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Pompeii was measured here and, while it has some very solid content at 30Hz and below, I don't think there was any scene that would be fitting for this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj72 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The Helicarriers taking off in Captain America WS was pretty good I thought for what seemed to be a fairly long time? Edit: Viewed again and probably doesn't qualify for this list. Not continuous enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniHT Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have a few scene's for you Nube.. Flight of the Phoenix (DTS-HD MSTR) 1:31:18-1:31:48 -- For some reason all that's ever talked about is the epic "barrel roll" scene (for good reason) but there are many good scenes throughout. The gasoline explosion is great as well, but is more of a single effect so I didn't include that. Phantom (DTS-HD MSTR) 0:30:17-0:31:00 -- Probably my favorite bass scene in the movie, although there are many more great moments... this is, iirc, the longest. Live Free or Die Hard (DTS-HD MSTR) 0:11:41-0:15:05 -- I know this is a very long scene. This is from the very first gunshot to the explosion. I doubt you could count this as a "continuous" bass scene as there are a few short dialog breaks in between gunfire. Willis' hand gun and the sub-machine guns have some serious weight to them. A serious workout for any capable sealed system. I have 2 JTR Cap S2's in ~840 cubes and these scene's put a hurtin' on my room running flat at reference. Thanks for all of your contributions on here and over at AVS. I always look forward to your posts. More scene's to come.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SME Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm a bit late to the party, but finally watched OHF. (Warning: minor spoiler ahead.) Of all the captures on the site, the Washington monument scene is the one that threatened to do the most damage to my pair of Hsu subs. When listening, I played back at -6 dB, but will test my limits carefully with higher levels in the morning. In any case, I was very surprised by the effect. From the scene description and the trace, I assumed I was going to get a lot of trembling and shaking from bombs exploding or something. Instead I got a series of tight yet powerful crunches that I felt from my head all the way down to my gut. Color me surprised, but it sounded exactly like I'd imagine large slabs of concrete to sound like while buckling and splitting apart! It reminded me of the sound of the Bridge of Khazad-dum crumbling in Fellowship of the Ring, except with a whole lot more power and bottom end. I'm also happy it came out so clean from my subs, albeit at -6. While I didn't care for the movie that much, the soundtrack was superb. The explosions were great. Very tight and full-bottomed bass. Edit: On second watch, I'm not sure I would describe the Washington Monument scene of Olympus has Fallen scene in the same way. This time, I noticed more of what I expected -- a sense of continuous erratic trembling. Perhaps the higher playback levels brought the deep bass out more and made it sound less tight. In any case, the scene is still quite impressive. At "0", my woofers were moving pretty vigorously. Without the -3 dB shelf I have below 25 Hz, that scene probably would have been too much.
