digital cat warning
spooky music and "fun in the studio" intro with monster bass slams, heart
beats, and wallops.

1997

DTS CD
|
movie themes and out of control "fun in the studio" segues, blast offs, bus
rumblings, jungle sounds, tornados, flying cows. The surround effects are
cool but the bass especially on the bus rumbling intro to Speed is awesome,
with tactile transducers you think you really are on the bus!

PCM CD
|
digital cannon warning,
105mm howitzer, just a couple blasts at the end
howitzer thump is 11Hz is -6dB down from the 31Hz and 66Hz elements.

1983
|
PCM CD
|
digital cannon and musket warning, lots and lots of bassy blasts, 25Hz - 63Hz
7Hz cannon thump,
23Hz cannon thump FFT,
I believe the cannon waveform is synthetic since nothing in nature looks like
this.

The 5.1 AC3 has a strong 26Hz fundemental at several places through out the
film (one spot is chapter 21). This thwump makes my whole room shudder.
The DVD's 5.1 AC3 track blows away the older PCM LD. The bass is incredible
on the DVD.
Notice that on the left channel it alternates 26Hz, 50Hz, 26Hz while only
the 26Hz signal is on the LFE.

I thought the original PCM LD at -7dB was terrifying.
The DTS disk blows the original away.
|
FOX
|
Apocalypse Now
|
1979
|
PCM LD
|
Operation Arc Light.
"concusion 'il suck the air right out of your damn lungs",
I hear the AC3 LD blows the PCM one away.
|
Paramount
|
Top Gun
|
1986
|
AC3 LD
|
The bass on this disk is out of control, the LFE is pegged whenever the jets
are flying. Bass of jets centered in 31Hz - 50Hz
|
New Line
|
The Mask
|
1994
|
AC3 DVD
|
The jaw dropping and the lever pulling in the printing press are nice.
The effects aren't real low, but wider band bass from about 30 - 70Hz.
|
Disney
|
Aladdin
|
1992
|
PCM LD
|
Jafar has a deep bassy voice but the cave of wonders is even one octave
lower! The cave is 31Hz - 50Hz bass.
