Author Topic: Gran Torino sound Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 01-30-2009 09:57 AM                     quote: Mark Strube I should try running it in DTS to see if I notice a difference I've experienced the problem in both DTS and SRD at my location. We also are not varying the volume level between the trailers and feature. Never have, in that particular auditorium. And there have never been any 'low sound' complaints prior to Gran Torino. So I have to beleive that it's just something unique to the recording levels on that title. We've been able to raise the level to a "happy medium" where the trailers aren't totally blasting people out of their seats and the feature isn't making people complain about low audio.  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 01-30-2009 10:23 AM                        quote: Jim Cassedy We've been able to raise the level to a "happy medium" where the trailers aren't totally blasting people out of their seats and the feature isn't making people complain about low audio. Yup, I know exactly of what you speak. The level of the trailers end up at that border line, where it's almost uncomfortably loud, but completely tolerable... where you can tell, one more level up and you'd probably have complaints.  |  IP: Logged Paul Van Dusen Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Roanoke, VA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 02-01-2009 04:39 AM                        Sound format most likely isn't the problem. I had the same complaints and i'm running a digital print. I chalked it up to the fact that the scenes that seemed to have no surround didn't really need surround. They seemed to be scene of dialog and light ambient sound going to the surround channel.  |  IP: Logged
