Author Topic: Kill Bill Sound issue Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-09-2003 08:55 PM                        Anyone else experience a DTS related sound issue with the B disc of Kill Bill? I noticed while screening that everything seemed fine until the plane trip to Japan, then it sounded as if the surrounds and stage speaker coils were blown. A raspy sound from the DTS track, but the SR track seemed fine. My print number is 3980 and I'll order a replacement disc tomorrow, after swapping out the B disc from my second print. What would cause this anyway? I'm guessing improper recording procedure, for lack of the proper technical term...  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-09-2003 09:40 PM                     I am assuming that you are sure that you didn't actually blow a coil?  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

I thought he was going to say that "everyone suddenly started speaking Japanese."  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-09-2003 11:52 PM                        Michael, No, I didn't blow 3 horns, and 16 coils in the surrounds. It was clearly in the B disc. They are screening the second print as I type. Intolerable Cruelty sounded fine in the same house. I am still left to wonder what the problem with the disc is?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-10-2003 06:11 AM                     Screened this in SRD. Some parts of the movie had some distortion added to it for effect, but nothing like Jason is describing. Sounds like an issue with dts. Jason, you didn't mention the equipment in your rack.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-10-2003 09:09 AM                        CP 65, DTS 6-D, QSC 850's. The disc issue is moot right now, as this print will play in a non DTS house in SRD. No report of problems with the second print, so it has to be a disc related issue...  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-10-2003 09:35 AM                    No problems with our discs sounded good to me.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-10-2003 10:43 PM                     I screened it in DTS and noticed soemthing like that. It sounded like cheap headphones do when you put too much power throught them. I just thought it was my ears.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-10-2003 10:45 PM                        What about the 3 'bleeping' noises - anyone hear that?  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-10-2003 11:14 PM                     there is another topic about the bleeps. It's jsut to hide her name. Im sure it says her name in the script if anyone has read it, or if anyone is a good lip reader.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-10-2003 11:15 PM                        Dennis, I heard that also. I had to run a print in a second DTS house in SR as the same problem occured.. I think that they must have had a bad run of discs or soemthing... Only occured in the latter half of the film, which would be the B disc.... KAREN... are you listening?????  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-10-2003 11:18 PM                     Scratch that last idea: Kill Bill Script THE BRIDE Hello sweety, I'm *(BLEEP)*, what's your name? * Whenever during the picture somebody says The Bride's real name, it will be BLEEPED OUT ON THE SOUNDTRACK, ...that is, till I want you to know. * The shy, suspicious little girl doesn't say anything, she just stares at the blond lady.  |  IP: Logged Greg Routenburg Expert Film Handler Posts: 178 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: May 2003 posted 10-11-2003 01:12 AM                     I was not impressed with the sound quality of the dialogue whether it was intentional or not. Things sounded kinda muffled but the background music sounded OK. This was in DTS. It must be in the mix but I can't understand why someone would want to distort the sound like that.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!
