Clearly you don’t appreciate the ✨art✨ of realistic dynamic range.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago (10 children)

This but unironically.

Do y’all go to the theater and complain that it’s too loud?

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 64 points 6 months ago

What you’re saying is like, “You complain about being sweaty??? So what, do you complain at the gym too?”

I’m not in a theater. I’m at home. I don’t want the TV crazy loud for a number of reasons which can include the fact that I’m not a terrible neighbor, the time of day, my partner may be asleep, etc.

If I wanted to go to the theater, then I go to the theater where I have certain expectations which includes well-mixed, loud sound. That’s fine, and I will hear both things that way.

Or… they can make a theater mix of the audio (full dynamic range) and a streaming/dvd mix (normalized volume levels) so that everyone gets the best experience.

And streaming services often don’t let you choose which one to use

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

But I notice sometimes when it’s wrong! So clearly it never happens!

[–] noobnarski@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago

What would be even better is when they include both.

If you don’t see the difference between home & theater…

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

You don’t have your kids sleeping next room in the theatre. Home video must be normalised.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Yes actually.

I’ve taken to bringing earplugs.

[–] SandLight@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I have before, yes.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

No. But when I’m watching it at home, with dinner, the neighbor does sometimes. It’s almost like they should be mixed differently.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

I don’t go to the theater at all.

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Both me and my wife were both complaining about how loud the sound was last time we went to the movies (Dune part 2), so yes. I prefer immersion without shattered ear drums.

[–] technomad 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, but there was this one time that i went to the theater and it really was too loud (to the point where it was causing distortion). I was disappointed, and mad even, that I was the only one who could clearly tell the difference in quality.

You can't just raise the decibels and call it good, people. You have to tune that shit too.
