@georgejrjrjr audio mixes have gotten universally terrible, you literally can't follow what people are saying half the time
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr BOOM EXPLOSION GUNFIRE whisper whisper
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr This. 100% this. Say what you want about Game of Thrones, but you can listen to it without reading subtitles and still understand what is going on.
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr Or you can follow the dialogue but the next explosion/musical piece blows your speakers and gives you hearing damage.
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr I watched DUNE twice and it was almost impossible to get some lines of dialogue thru my TV speakers, if I hadn't seen it in theaters first I would probably have been clueless.
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr when i first watched peaky blinders (huge fan) i felt like they were just whispering in such hoarse voices so much i was like wait the fuck
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr I agree if you are using tv speakers but the problem isn’t just bad mixes it’s that everything is mixed assuming you have 120db dynamic range and that you are hearing it in an environment that doesn’t have bass resonances, etc. I feel if they did mixes just for tv it would fix it
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr No, zoomers turn on subtitles for older movies as well.
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr Quiet parts are barely audible, loud parts are deafening. Better to just keep it at a lower volume with subtitles so you don't have to keep adjusting.
@RonenV @georgejrjrjr This doesn't hold up as an explanation because they use subtitles for everything, even old shows and movies that would have been mixed appropriately
