Hi /g/ i was wondering if there is a program that limits the decibels that come out of my speakers, I don't feel this is clear so let me elaborate let's say for instance that I'm watching a movie and their is a huge explosion how can i make it so the volume is the same decibel level as when there is a conversation.

that nob.

the one that makes the things loud.

i think you know the one?

ok, first turn it to the point of loud.

ok, done that yet?

good, now turn it the other direction.

keep going till its not loud enough for the cops to be called.

i think you just solved one of two problems.

no.

you are a fucking retard.

im just pointing out the simple fact that you are pants on head retarded and you cant seem to figure out how to operate a volume nob.

this has nothing to be with tripfags, you are just being extremely butthurt over the most obvious solution your retarded ass cant come up with.

deal with it.

He wants something that'll automatically turn down programs dynamically instead of turning everything down at once. You don't need to be suck a dick. Jeez.

Not OP, but I tried that and I got a weird buzzing noise. It might be because I have my system listening to the Line In port. I use it to play the audio from my game consoles through my computer headphones, which has been silent to this point. Has this happened to anyone else?

As stated, volume leveling/equalization/normalization will do exactly what you describe. However, by using that, you are essentially butchering the movie and not hearing it the way it's meant to be heard. The explosions are supposed to be twice as loud as the voices. You can adjust the volume to hear the voices well and the explosions are not going to come close to harming your hearing for such short periods of exposure. People have been going to theaters with loud as fuck explosions for decades.

imho there is no need for the amount of dramatic frequency change they use.
I know they are whispering. I don't need to turn it up just so I can hear it. I am not retarded and can use my imagination to pretend they are whispering.

It's the same thing as shitty pan and scan: you can see the stars, who cares what's happening over in the corner? I can imagine it.

Come on. You're shitting around with a work of art a director and a sound mixer put months of effort into getting right, and a sound crew held heavy booms in the air for hours to record. You're shortchanging yourself of the full emotional impact of the work. Don't do it.

I'm sick of having to watch movies with captions on because they are constantly moving between whispers and explosions. This happens in way too many movies.

When I DL movies, I extract the audio track and pass that through a self written program than dynamic autolevels all the 6 tracks to 95% volume. After that I re-encode it to AC# and repack with mkvmerge. Doesn't take too long to do, but the wait is worth double the while than be constantly exposed to whisper/explosion switches.

One of the few good laws to get signed recently, but because it wasn't controversial or negative it didn't get any news coverage by the media.

They make it sound so fucking complicated in those docs, I swear. Put a fucking hard limiter set to 89 dB on the god damned audio circuit and you're done. I can build one with parts I can get at Radio Shack for $4, for Pete's sake.

Idiots. It'll be 4 more years before any of this goes into actual effect. Some networks are far worse than others: AMC does this shit EXCESSIVELY and I've dropped emails to them telling them they need to fix the shit but of course they don't give a fuck.

AMC regular content audio: 88-89 dB, industry standard (actually somewhat quiet)

AMC commercial content audio: 97-99 dB, fucking blowing the speakers loud I swear.

ASSHOLES.

Agreed.. It doesnt even have any kind of dramatic or theatrical value. The increase is so steep it almost makes a person uncomfortable for a good 30 seconds and you have to turn it down. The point is to be comfortable enough to enjoy the movie, pay attention etc. Not have to constantly change the volume so you can hear dialogue and also not have your neighbors call police. As for the guy that said you are screwing around with a work of art. They could do it alot better, more efficiently, and in a more dynamically sound way.. but the low power rating of home theaters prevents it. It happens in movie theaters. Ive had this same problem since dvds where invented, its totally impractical and isnt quite what youre talking about. seems to be a limit of technology.
