Most films make use of a large number of sound channels for cinema watching. When they get adapted for TV and DVD/Bluray, the number of channels needs to be reduced, this means some sounds get merged over the top of others and can no longer be properly dynamically altered volume wise. This is why when characters are talking can sound ridiculously quiet but action sounds are ludicrously loud.

This is most movies nowadays regardless of TV, and there's a good reason for it. It's because of the way they shoot with tiny hidden microphones now, to get all sorts of good camera angles without worrying about the boom being in the shot. They can shoot more ambitious and more quickly. Unfortunately the microphones that are smaller aren't good at picking up the sound they way the big boom arm mics are. Also, the Dolby or DTS mix usually requires the dynamic range to set voices low in the downmix so the explosions etc aren't quiet in the theatre and it all sounds big. I really wish they remixed for a home release on a normal sound bar. I'm often having to use subtitles. Never had to do that on old movies. Tenet is the worst one of all time for this.

Your comment is very insightful. Thank you for taking your time to share that. I've loathed the rise of handheld cameras (AKA shaky cam), which allegedly is for "realism" but is mostly to speed time to film and reduce cost. But for sound I've been annoyed by having to raise / lower volume in the middle of TV and movies and knowing why that might be. Your comment explains it! Another sacrifice of art to cost. My wife has resorted to subtitles, which I find more distracting than shaky cam. I long for the day when AI can dynamically deliver media in the format each viewer wants. Until then, get off my lawn you newfangled asshole media people!

It has absolutely nothing to do with what kind of microphone they're using, you can mix a track to be as quiet or as loud as you want no matter where it comes from. The problem is studios mix for 5.1 playback and then that gets incorrectly mixed down to stereo.
@ArcanePath360
10 ай бұрын
@@kyle8952 Wrong. I work with microphones. If they don't pick up the sound good in the first place, then no amount of mixing will help, unless you start using AI like The Beetles are currently doing so they can release old work that wasn't recorded well. The mix plays a big part in what you can hear, but badly recorded audio will sound much worse when it's amplified. Much of the time it isn't the mic itself, but where it is placed in the scene, and the type of field pattern the mic has which determines how it receives frequencies. This is why even the most expensive mic in the world is always placed as close as possible and pointed at mouths with a boom arm and big fluffy wind break over it. They need to be close to get a good recording of the human voice. With modern film making they have mics positioned in places where they aren't optimal, and much of the timbre in the voice drops out, especially in a dynamic scene with movement going on, if the actor isn't static. The mic may be boosted, but then it starts picking up background noise too. Studios often have to resort to things like compressors and modulation to recover what was lost, but they only go so far. Sometimes they have to re-record the voices in the studio afterwards because it's so bad, but they often avoid this because of all sorts of reasons, mainly because of money & schedules. And on top of this, there's the Dolby downmix where they set the levels even lower (as was originally commented on), which makes everything much worse.

Bc that was worse than death-death was a piece of cake compared to Dad not being happy be he'd had eaten or whatever that families tlritual was-but that was usually similar w everyone decades ago- They wanted QUIET!!! SO it ingrained a "Consciencious of "above acceptable volume trauma"-with those generations- its a very real but un recognized disorder w anyone's parents who are usually WWiI or 50-60's kids After that everyone was too tired from both parents working to give a shi* how loud anything was cuz they could sleep thru it. And threatning-most punishments where you did what you shouldznot bc theyd abuse you-but they could if they decided to pick it up...then parents felt they lost their "trumph" ca now no one has the exact decible that a TV Is considered Too loud-it was lost w the Technology how we went to the moon I think

Some hifis and AV receivers (if that’s what the speakers are plugged into) have a dynamic range compression setting which can automate some of the volume hovering for you :)

It's true with any TV that has crappy small speakers which are unable to cope with a large variety of frequencies. Only good multi-way speaker design can give you clear conversations on top of explosions so you don't have to crank it all the way up and all the way down every time scene changes :)

Whenever I go to any of my relative’s houses (parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents when they were around) I always try to set their TV up properly with the correct aspect ratio, EQ, colour “correction”, the works. Yet every time I go back it’s messed up again. HOW?! They use it for one, maybe two, HDMI inputs for the set top box and the odd DVD. How does it re-set EVERY TIME?!?

The the lack of volume clarity and consistency is deffo a problem on older televisions but also sometimes programs themselves. Still, growing up watching increasingly larger old box TVs at my parents house are fun core memories of mine. One exception - my grandmother used to have a fantastic old school platform TV, where the TV itself was encased in one of those large wooden shells and had one of those little doors on the front just to the right of the screen that you opened that accessed the physical channel controls. Then, my uncle who lived with her replaced it with an extremely plain ultra-generic black box TV, rather average-sized, somewhere around the early 00s. What a bummer. The previous assembly was attractive and very retro awesome, the new tv was very boring and stuck out in the room full of retro furnishings like a sore thumb.

My dad had a big box 80s TV with wooden fascia around the outside, lasted all the way until 2010. Existed through most of my life. Seeing it go was like watching a piece of my childhood get thrown in the trash. Strangely enough he was not attached to it at all, he still remembers tiny black and white TV.

@@cattysplat aww what a bummer! Sorry it didn't last. Sucks losing our old items. Was it a super huge floor model that had like a wooden part that opened front ways in the front?? (I don't even know if I'm remembering this correctly) Because my friend's parents had this kind of TV that was ginormous and it had red, yellow, and blue round conical lights in front that shown towards the screen as part of the display. Curious if that's how your dad's was. Yeah I was jealous lol- it was the coolest TV I had ever seen to date.

I wonder how much of the problem is multi-channel audio (e.g. 5.1 surround) being put through 2 speakers, so the audio mix is technically fine but it’s all crammed into 2 speakers instead of 6 so there’s “distant” gunfire layered directly over the top of a whispered sentence!
