Author Topic: Worst sound mixes ever Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-11-2005 05:35 PM                     quote: Paul Howard Any Jerry Bruckhiemer film No kidding!!! How did I forget about these? Tom, that auditorium probably had a nice peak in the upper midrange/high frequencies somewhere. That would explain also why this particular movie was ear shattering in that auditorium, because I remember running it at 7.0 just like 99% of all other movies with no such problem. If you had EV speakers in there with the dts, that's also another bad combination (and I am not the only person I've talked to who has noticed this). There's something harsh about that combination that does not exist with SDDS or SRD. As a general rule, theaters that need adjustment of the fader on a movie by movie basis suffer from poor tuning. Yes there are exceptions, but they generally don't turn up more than one every few months.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

There was no problems with sound on those engagements. I saw the film at both theatres, they both had a full rich sound to them. You watched "Yentl"...TWICE?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-11-2005 05:53 PM                     Yes One night I went with this girl I was seeing. Night two I went with another girl to see it. And I could get into the theatres on pass too.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

"Yentl" is even better than those fine ALW-things ! Even though we only had it in Dolby A.... A truly magnificent film except for the closing scene, pasted directly from "Funny Girl".  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"
