Monkey Steve Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Last week I got the new 4k version of the Blues Brothers, which has 5.1 surround sound Pleased to report that whoever mixed the sound has (perhaps lazily) put the bass through just the middle speaker in the set up, while the other instruments are spread around the rest of the speakers in the room. What this means is that because the middle speaker is typically the loudest (because that's where most of the dialogue goes, and I tend to tweak it a bit louder to help with mumbling actors) the bass is literally front and centre on everything. Gloriously loud! Biggest revelation for me was that the bass doesn't play all the notes in the Peter Gunn riff, and in fact is playing some quite interesting variations Thoroughly recommended 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Are we still allowed to watch The Blues Brothers?

If there's more bass going through that then I suspect the house's foundations may need reinforcing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
