Clearly you don’t appreciate the ✨art✨ of realistic dynamic range.
This but unironically.
Do y’all go to the theater and complain that it’s too loud?
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.
They often do
And streaming services often don’t let you choose which one to use
But I notice sometimes when it’s wrong! So clearly it never happens!
What would be even better is when they include both.
If you don’t see the difference between home & theater…
Yes actually.
I’ve taken to bringing earplugs.
You don’t have your kids sleeping next room in the theatre. Home video must be normalised.
I have before, yes.
No. But when I’m watching it at home, with dinner, the neighbor does sometimes. It’s almost like they should be mixed differently.
I don’t go to the theater at all.
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.
