^Will look it up. My setup is decent so there's probably some fun to be had.
Hans Zimmer is one of my favourite soundtrack composers, btw. "Crimson Tide" and "The Thin Red Line" are both mind-blowing.
I seem to freak most people out at work, because I have a Pandora Station entitled "Hans Zimmer" and another entitled "Ramin Djawadi" (another favorite composer).
People are used to me playing jazz and old school Detroit funk and ancient rock, but to just have movie tracks playing?
Suddenly, I am an enigma.
BUT, I always do this. I have just recently trained my workstation to play movie tracks as well. LoL
BTW, I have both "Crimson Tide" and "Thin Red Line" on BluRay. I agree; they are excellent!
I have gotten into many arguments with "idiots" who claim that "digital" reproduction bandwidth is from 20-20KHz and that is IT!.
I actually own a rather decent twin-trace oscilloscope and I can measure LFE sound effects in real time and upon linking my computer to the O'scope and finding some freeware, I can catch them and slow them down, measure the frequencies passing through the sound system with graphic accuracy, etc.
I am tired of this argument. I can find as low as eight Hz on a Blu Ray disc embedded in the soundtrack on many movies. (Cannon effects on "Master And Commander" for instance - cannon effect is so low that I guarantee that most people have no way to experience it. Makes me think that the original sound crew actually put a series of microphones, spaced at scienced out distances, UNDER the ground before they set off massive explosions for the cannon effects on the soundtrack) My bi-amped sub system can not play that low, but it "TRIES!!!!!" and the couch and everything the "violent air" touches rumbles and follows a series of wavefronts - actually several with each cannon blast.
Back last summer (I think I mentioned), I built a kind of bandpass (pair of enclosures) boxes for a band leader "friend" of mine. Once I had them put together, I brought them into the house - only had an old Crown 400WPC amp to power them - for a few days, placed them behind the couch. (would LOVE to have kept them, but giving up two feet of living room space for a subwoofer system is not something that my wife could tolerate for very long). I passed my experiment off as a kind of "scientific study," of sorts.
... but, to feel my couch lift up, giggle and roll through and on past the reverberations with those massive cannon blasts the way it did was very pleasing to me. (She hated it!!) I felt like I had "found something."
Those enclosures (twin, dual eighteen, BP, carefully tuned - capable of twenty four hundred watts per cab - I used eight hundred on both and practically lifted my couch off the floor) are now doing firm, nightly duty at the bottom end of a "friend's" club PA system about now, assuming he actually has work through the winter. Have not seen him lately, but no contact is usually GOOD!
... but hell yeah! Hans Zimmer makes an awesome Pandora station!
