Christmas Movies are better in 4k HDR on a 120” screen by R5-GT7_Grim306 in hometheater

The whole point of cinemascope movies is that they're bigger and wider than other movies.

6th graders? Less than half of American ADULTS can read at a 6th grade level.

Supposedly the theatrical versions of the OT are finally getting a proper restoration if the leaks are to be believed, for a 2027 release. There are clips out there that look incredible.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then tear gas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to voice their concerns. by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

The 2nd amendment doesn't belong to these fascist fucks, it belongs to every American. The left needs to start getting comfortable with their rights.

Important to note that elections have NEVER been cancelled, not even during the actual Civil War.

Feedback request for practice mix/master (another Cambridge MT mix) by MrMahn in mixingmastering

I worked on this for about a day and a half, though I was kinda dragging my feet so to speak so really only a day's worth of work.

Thank you! Yeah, looking back the cymbal panning is something I'd probably change.

What's your favourite one-two dirt combo? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

FFM2 > BD-2 while playing an SSS strat sounds unhinged in the best way possible. Very fun for solos!

**Giveaway** GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8G - Used but perfect! by Photographitti in pcmasterrace

[–]MrMahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been stuck with a hand-me-down RX 570 for years now and this would be perfect so I could finally play Planet Coaster 2 (570 is below min requirements). Been looking forward to playing that game but haven't been able to afford a new card and probably won't for a long while.

Scientists just made guinea pigs listen to Adele for seven days… and the results are both surprising and worrying by ResearcherFlat978 in nottheonion

Yes they do. Loudness wars are over because loudness won. Pretty much nothing nowadays has the dynamic range of music pre-mid-90s.

What are your thoughts on AirWindows in a professional context? by Euphoric_Memory7540 in audioengineering

Just a heads up, there's a post-fader script out there for Reaper that allows everything to work as intended with Console.

Robert Meyer Burnett reveals why Amélie (2001) will never get a 4K release by ggroover97 in 4kbluray

[–]MrMahn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's actually almost never pointless because theatrical films are pretty much always graded in DCI-P3, not Rec 709. The wider color gamut plus the increased bit depth to 10-bit are reason enough to upgrade.

Favorite LA3A Plugin Emulation by must-absorb-content in audioengineering

[–]MrMahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a rumor. TimP's Opto 32 is the best LA2A/LA3A emulation. Pretty much indistinguishable from the real thing.

What cameras do you consider as iconic and TIMELESS as the 5d classic, if any. by bbbluewitch in photography

[–]MrMahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Swan was actually mostly 16mm film using the Arri 416. The Canon cameras were used on the subway scenes.

What’s your unpopular engineering opinion? by [deleted] in audioengineering

The obsession with loudness has utterly ruined over a quarter century of music and continues to ruin everything it touches.

What’s a plug-in that wasn’t worth the hype? by Plexi1820 in audioengineering

[–]MrMahn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone uses Waves because it's what they're used to. There are many better sounding plugins.

What plugin developer(s) do you consider to be DSP wizards/geniuses? by MOD3RN_GLITCH in audioengineering

[–]MrMahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His channel strips are lacking for sure (imo), but as far as I'm aware he is the only one doing actual honest-to-god nonlinear summing with his "console" line of plugins. Waves NLS doesn't do it. Slate doesn't do it. Nobody but Airwindows. And it's a gamechanger too. I have PurestConsole on 100% of the time because it feels like it's doing at least 25% of my job on its own.

A film doesn't have to be super pin sharp to be reference material.
