Audio (speech) volume of movies/series
July 27th, 2019
I wanna know why some of the movies and series that are uploaded have increased music over speech/sound effects. So in other words the music and sound effects like gun shots etc are very very loud compared to the speech, actually the speech has a low volume, I have to crank my TV volume up to atleast 40 (out of 100) to hear and understand the speech but the music becomes very very loud (louder than it already is). I actually have to download english subs so I can lower my tv volume and barely hear the speech but because of the subs I can atleast understand what they are saying lol. A good example is this release of the movie Dumb & Dumber To: DUMB AND DUMBER TO (2014) 720p - HDRiP (source 720p.HDRiP-FIRST) with the korean subs that is floating around .
So how come some of the movies are like that? Do the encoders somehow mess something up or …? I’m really curious about this and want to know a possible fix (if there is any to somehow equalize the speech and sound).
Sounds like a bit of a poor mix down from the original sound track that would be in 5 or 7+1 surround..
Some discussion about it here.
