Audio Issue with Arrow + Indicator (and others?)
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2022 2:06 am
I love Arrow. I love Indicator. But I hate that when I go from playing the feature to playing an extra I have to frantically lower the volume every time so I don’t deafen myself and my neighbours…
For a while I thought this was just somehow an issue of 1080i extras vs 1080p films but on the Indicator release I watched last night (13 Ghosts) the introduction was 1080p/24… the editor of that extra was our very own Michael Brooke.
So I have to ask - why don’t Arrow or Indicator apply any kind of normalisation between their extras audio, menus and film? This takes one minute during the production of the disk? Is this a fault of the editors, producers or disk authorers?
Criterion don’t have this issue. I haven’t tested every label out there but certainly with Arrow and Indicator it’s painfully noticeable and is the only disappointment in their otherwise beautifully put together editions!
Come I can’t be the only person who has to ramp up their amp’s dB’s to -5 for the main film then pull down to -25 for the extras, or vice versa after the introduction ends!
Can this be changed going ahead please?
