Oppenheimer Execution - Poll

Let us know what you think about the bass in Oppenheimer

I voted 3 stars. This was primarily a slow burning dialog driven movie as expected. I wanted LFE effects to end all LFE effects when the bomb was finally detonated. It didn't quite deliver that to say the least. Good movie though.

Agreed.  We essentially just got a flash and low boom/rumble.  Not the ST warp-boom blastwave I was expecting.  One of the best movies I have seen.

I watched the movie two days ago and was very confused and disappointed about the bass I was getting, even tho it seemed to go deep by the graphs and didn't even need BEQ. Turns out MadVR doesn't downmix the LFE channel into stereo! I'll have to see how I can fix this, since my mains go to like 16Hz. (this was the first movie I watched on the stereo setup)

Edit: I solved this problem with the LAV Audio Decoder. It baffles me that the default MPC-BE option (ffmpeg?) only downmixes center+surrounds into stereo and leaves out the LFE. There is no slider for LFE mix, which you luckily get with LAV. But in LAV, the mix sliders don't give you values in dB, but in numbers and the default is 0.707. What the hell!

I had a similar problem with a 2.1 setup, I had to purchase an old BD player that would decode DTS-HDMA and Dolby TrueHD as LPCM to get the LFE channel content.
