When we watch a movie, the sound affects us as deeply as the
image. We do not say this, although we do share it: it is defended by Ignacio
Royo-Villanova and Xanti Salvador, two sound engineers who received the Goya
Award for their work in La Trinchera infinite. Seeing an upright movie in a movie
theater capable of offering us the right image and sound can be a very pleasant
experience, but unfortunately, it is not easy to bring the same into our home.
In addition to the complexity and price that Home Theater
equipment could offer us an experience comparable to that of a good commercial
hall that technology allows us, there is another problem that many users face
and that often causes our experience to deteriorate when we look at our loved
ones. Movies and TV shows:
The volume of the dialogue is much lower than the
sound effects and the soundtrack. And it forces us to constantly toggle it up
and down when we watch most movies, an awkward task that is almost always
frustrating.
There is a problem that often hurts our perception when we
watch our favorite movies and TV shows: the volume of dialogue is much lower
than that of sound effects and a soundtrack.
This problem appears very frequently when we play the
content served by the main video-on-demand platforms, such as Netflix, HBO,
Disney + or Amazon Prime Video, using our television speakers to listen to the
sound.
Dialogues usually have a moderate sound pressure level that forces us to
raise the volume of the television beyond what is reasonable, so that when a sound effect that has been expressly recorded at a higher level arrives, we may
be forced to lower the volume. volume. again if we want to protect the health
of our ears.
Repeating this procedure throughout the entire footage of the movie is annoying, but fortunately users have several tools that we can use to
improve our experience. None of the advice that we are going to propose is
infallible;
In fact, the same procedure can work well in one movie and worse in
another, but they are worth resorting to because they are easy to execute and
will often save us from having to constantly manipulate the volume.
