Author Topic: CinemaCon sound: Why does it have to be so FREAKING loud? Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 04-26-2013 11:56 AM                     Yeesh. What does it say about the industry when it's biggest convention has awful sound? That doesn't give me a lot of hope.

The final deadly ingredient.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-26-2013 05:42 PM                     Hard to believe there is no one on location to complain to. As they built the system in for the event, they will quite obviously do a quick reference to Level 7, then don't care about the trailer levels anymore, and with the system having more than enough balls to kill, it will naturally do so. Since we went digital, we play trailers lower than in 35mm (4.5), and features louder (6.0). Trailers at 7. Ouch. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-27-2013 02:27 AM                        Were they selling anything or just showing trailers for fun?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-27-2013 05:25 AM                     They were selling earplugs I think. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 04-27-2013 09:46 AM                        There used to be a video copy of the jiffy reel on you tube. I wanted to show my fiancé what I was talking about she used to work in theaters (that's where we met) but I could not find it again. Does anyone know where I can find it or if maybe Dolby made them take it down?  |  IP: Logged
