Need to rant about this.
The last movie theater experience I had was so jarringly loud that I was covering my ears during the previews. Ironically, I was at home listening to music before the movie..Thing is, I'm no whimp when it comes to loud music - I've played bass in metal/thrash bands, still play in a garage band, and have a tendency to creep up my volume control when at home listening.
I'm sure vinyl inmates would agree that some sounds that are harder to digest then others, decibal levels being equal. (ie CD vs vinyl)
So is the perceived loudness I'm experiencing at the movies due to ridiculously high decibel levels, or the reaction from digitally recorded sound / playback? (this is in a newer, big theater).. Maybe a bit of both?
I assume most film soundtracks are edited entirely in the digital domain, with the copious use of software-based effects. From my experience in DAW (computer) based studios, the software effects are the main culprit for causing unpleasant digititis.
Anyone here measured SPL's in a modern movie theater? Anyone care to try it and report the results?
