Thanks for the awesome comments, everyone! This was a fun video to make, and I love strolling down memory lane with you all about first surround sound experiences. Many of them sound like my own! Now, what should we explain next?
Please look into DTS:X & Auro 3D audio with comparisons and differences to Dolby Atmos.
You didn't start with Dolby Pro Logic w/ the 1 "rear channel"? Lol.
@@doublet147 couldn’t do it!
Duuuudddeeee! You been hitting F45 or something? Looking fit
Caleb - please could you look into a similar video about HDR differences (Dolby Vision, HDR10 etc) and HDMI Versioning - I think these are often too confusing for the end user (my parents really struggled with purchasing a new TV recently) and generally big box stores are not great at explaining these to the general public!
My dad bought a Bose 5.1 surround setup and the first movie we watched was Jurassic Park. Watching that movie with that setup was a life changing moment that has always stuck with me.
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World was the movie that we watched at home with dad's 5.1 system.
The creaking of the ship, squaking of the ropes... That was pretty nice.
I now know that the best surround sound experience can be achieved with HRTFs and headphones but that doesn't take away what the 5.1 speaker setup is capable of doing.
Amen!
My dad did same. We watched behind enemy line. But it wasn't dolby atmos. It was 5. 1 setup. Crazy
Here with another cool dad 👨 😎- out first 5.1 was top gun. I can remember the f18s today 🎉
@32discodave"Lackluster highs and muddy lows,
Way overpriced? It must be Bose!
About 15 years ago at a sharper image Store. A 5.1 playing the incredibles. I knew I had to have it.a couple Years later I got my first 7.1 system, and have made consistent upgrades to my current 7.3.2 Dolby atmos system. I’ll never go back
Did you notice a significant difference from your standard 5.1 to the 7.1 with Dolby Atmos and did you install ceiling speakers to make it the 7.1?
Dash running around during the dinner scene 👌
@@brandonmurray2953 yes 7.1 was more immersive to me even before atmos. As far as I’m ceiling, I did the next best thing and installed SVS prime elevation speakers for height effects right where the wall meets the ceiling. They have an angled baffle that works really well to direct the sound right to your listening position, and I don’t have to cross them over really high like reflective atmos modules. They play down to 45 hz but I cross them over at 80 hz like the rest of the system.
What a coincidence! The Incredibles was actually the movie that encouraged me to get a 5.1 system in the first place. As I saw those...spinny hovercraft things?... whizzing past Jack, I knew that would just sound so immersive in surround. And I had to hear it. I'd even bet that was the demo scene you saw at Sharper Image.
@@wright96d that is a heck of a coincidence
The first movie I saw that the surround sound changed the whole experience and my life forever was Saving Private Ryan. I mean. Incredible. Bullets buzzing around just incredible.
Omg i bet that movie would be doubly mind blowing in Dolby Atmos
same and amazing way of hearing an incredible war movie
@@VMYeahVN Saving Private Ryan is an absolute must own on 4K Blu Ray. Is 1.78:1 so it fits the screen perfectly. Dolby Vision is amazing. Dolby Atmos is out of this world on it. Seriously sounded like really being shot at in a 3D environment. Also the scenes where it is raining really sound like rain falling from the sky and hitting the ground.
I'm still traumatized by this movie, I didn't want to look at my neighbor cause I was afraid he would have a big hole in place of his face!
Ahahaha funny you mention this! Every time i talk about speakers or any topic about "good audio" with my father he always goes: so were going to wath SPR on it? Or SPR must be amazing with that! Stuff like that! He even told me this today since in looking for a soundbar to go with our new TV ahah! We had a 5.1 system at home a while back and this was one of the movie we often watched with it! That and Master and commander (the movie about english navy soldiers) and Gladiator!
Amazing movies in any type of surrpund sound!
I’ve upgraded from 5.1 to 5.1.2 and just recently to 5.1.4. Adding the atmos speakers made a huge difference in how realistic the sound moves around the room. It’s a living room, unfortunately don’t have room for a dedicated home theater but I couldn’t be happier with my setup. Shut the lights off and it sounds just like you’re there.
What kind of receiver did you use? Is it a 9.1.2 surround receiver?
@@opnlms Its a Integra DRX 3.2. It can be configured a number of ways but I don’t believe it can do 9.1.2. It’s got 9 Chanel’s total.
@@jeffclark5024then how is 5.1.4 possible??
@@electrolyteorb because 5+4 =9 I’ve got 9 Chanel’s not including the LFE Chanel. There’s a few different ways it can be configured.
Don’t mean to be a smart ass, I’m not sure what you’re not understanding. If you can be more specific I’d be happy to answer.
@@jeffclark5024 oh... I counted the LFE channel too
Let’s just say the very first time I heard a DA demo I immediately upgraded my theater processor and added an additional amplifier with four Atmos speakers to my system. That’s how amazing I found it to be. IMO it’s the best thing to happen to movie sound within the last two decades.
I 1000% agree. Movies and now most new video games using atmos just adds so much more joy to the experience
What’s your setup?? Advice??
@@digitalimpulse Depends on your room size. That determines a lot but most people try to fit too much speakers in a small room then end up having speakers too close to each other. I have a 7.2.4 setup.
@@pf5658 which brand did you go with? Sony? Toshiba? JBL? For my living room
@@digitalimpulse Brand of what?
Dolby atmos really does make a massive difference for me when watching movies.
The first time I heard discreet 5.1 surround sound was in the mid 90’s when I worked for Best Buy. Those of us in the video department went to a training conference. They played the DVD of “Heat” and used the downtown gun fight scene. It was and still is pretty epic!
I've had my Atmos setup for around 5 years now and it really enhances the at home movie experience. I'm running a 7.1.2 setup, utilizing floor speakers for the front LCR, and in wall and incielings for surrounds, surround backs, and top middle speakers.
The overhead atmos speakers definitely are worth it.
My first surround sound experience was at a Santa Monica stadium seating theater seeing The Fifth Element. I was completely blown away and that got me into this "hobby". Just added 2 in ceiling Atmos speakers to bring my system to 5.1.2 and watched the 4K blu-ray recently. Just an awesome experience also and brought it full circle for me. Great video!
The first true surround sound I've experience was way back in summer of 1993 when I saw Jurassic Park at a theater that has DTS surround sound. My first experience with Dolby Atmos was when I saw Gravity back in 2013 and fell in love with this new 3D surround sound. In 2014, I bought my first Atmos receiver and installed two height speakers to my home theater. Now I have a full 7.2.4 set up at my current home theater set up.
I have seen several Dolby Atmos videos and articles. Yours is the best. By demonstrating how the old surround sound works in a cinema, then how the fly is buzzing all around the auditorium with Atmos, there is not a single shred of doubt that Atmos is far superior. Thank you.
Good job covering it. I've been enjoying my 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup for years. I first learned about it from my Xbox One X and the headphones. I was so impressed that several thousand dollars later I built my system as I was hooked.
My first surround experience was in the early 2000s. My dad went and bought a wide screen TV and a Panasonic surround system. 5.1 sorround watching Final fantasy: the spirit within. I was blown away. During the years i was more invested in headphones, turning to stereo in the later days. Thanks Caleb, you've done a lot for my inspiration to dare and try stuff out.
I just purchased the 4k of that movie. Just like 3 week ago Love it.
I tell people that the single biggest improvement of Atomos over channel based surround, is scalability. You should get the same effect in your 7.1.4 home setup, as you would in a theatre. Maybe quieter, but the spacing should feel the same relative to the audience.
Fantastic, thanks Caleb, well researched, lucid interpretations and a great journey you take the listener on. Thats good teaching skills
First amazing home surround sound experience was Rustler's Rhapsody (1985). More generally, as to all your videos: I love the channel! Your explanations are deep enough to tell me what I want to know without losing me - the perfect levels of detail, geekiness and precision - and always so interesting and on-topic! This is one of my favorite channels on RUclips. Bravo!
One of the most impactive upgrades I made to my theatre room was installing 2 overheard in ceiling Atmos speakers. 7.1.2 is just amazing.
Agreed. I love my 5.2.2
I really think 7.1.2 is the best setup.
7.2.4 or 5.2.4 (gotta have 2 subs!) is probably best for a small room. I would've gone with a 5.2.4 but my room is wider than it is longer.
@@doublet147 Hardly any receiver outputs two subwoofers in stereo.. most two sub receivers have a Y split to output a mono signal.
@@absolutium you are correct that almost no receivers have stereo subwoofer outputs. That is because subwoofer channels are in mono. All receivers worth a dime now have 2 mono subwoofer channel outs (in mono). I'm a proponent to using both (2 subs). Turn that 5.1 into 5.2 or 5.1.2 into 5.2.2! 2 subs make a huge difference in your overall lower end. Especially because most rooms will make 1 sub have sweet spots because of the wavelength it projects.
I was blessed with an opportunity to get a demo of the Atmos system at the Dolby Labs research theater in San Francisco from the VP of engineering. This theater was sonically isolated from the rest of the building and the city street. 128 speakers surrounding the audience and hundreds of thousands of high contrast colors - WOW what a sonic and visual experience!
My parents were obsessed with cinema and so I grew up in a home that always had a movie teather in the living room, i have watched so many movies on that and it always blew me away, now i have the old 5.1 surround that they gave me after buying an atmos system, so many memories 😊
Finally the video I was looking forward to. I absolutely love Dolby Atmos and now I even know how it works, thank you so much
Thanks so much! This was super fun to make. Now, what should we explain next?
@@Caleb_Denison showing how dolby vision works compared to hdr 10. Colors sharpness contrast, side by side comparison
@@Caleb_Denison, yes, a video on how what Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are and, more importantly, how the two compare, considering that Samsung, who apparently has the largest global TV market share, does not support the latter.
This is some next level explanation. I've never heard someone talk about it or have seen a video about it. Thanks Mr Caleb
Nice joke buddy 🤣🤣🤣 nice one
As he was explaining Dolby/ Dolby Atmos, I was laughing as if, he must be pranking us. And him sounding so serious about it, made it even more funnier. He should make more outdated videos of the obvious. And be very serious while he explains something that everyone should know by now. That would be a funny RUclips channel 🤣 😄
@@PhillyDjHook Never get into comedy you are very out of touch with what people find funny.
Just started to plan an upgrade to my system and come across yourself. I asked a shop assistant yesterday what Dolby Atmos was and he indicated it was to do with the sound. That answer was a typical answer of someone just selling a product, and not fully clued up on what they are actually selling. Grate informative video buddy.
Once again Caleb smashes it with down to earth explanations of things we need to know in the Audio/Video industry... Respect...
The first time I heard “Sen-surround” sound at a theatre showing “Earthquake” and I thought it was amazing then. Glad to see that they have perfected or continue to perfect great sounding everything!
So well explained! Rare to have sophisticated technology demonstrated and unpacked so accessibly. Well done and thank you for adding to the short list of good RUclips explanation videos✊🏽
Enjoyed this one! How about a video explaining some of the common terms you use while reviewing? Blooming, lag, imaging( audio) as so on. The tech vocabulary can really challenge newer people trying to come to this hobby. Keep up the great work!
I was a kid and my dad randomly came home with an amp. We gathered speakers from around the house and the first thing I remember hearing in surround was "independence day". The opening credits at the very beginning how they go from front to back 👌
Also you mentioned the upfiring speakers, and then in-ceiling speakers but forgot the middle option, wall elevation speakers. For me, that was the best, most non-intrusive method. 👍
Super informative! I've never understood how *any* surround sound works better than I do now. Incredible editing, too, and the thumbnail's not so bad either! 👀
My first conscious Dolby Surround experience was seeing "Hair" in a big cinema. It probably was Dolby 4.0: an analogue stereo channel with 2 additional channels interpolated coming from a magnetic strip on the 35mm film.
Just bought the Vizio M512a-H6 after watching your review. It boggles my mind that for $500, you could get all this in a surround system. Dolby Atmos is amazing. Thanks for explaining it!
Hey Caleb, great work! This was the bestest explanation of Dolby Atmos I've seen to date, video or written! I was familiar with the topic, but curious to see where you'd go with it in a ten minute video. Well done! 👍🏻👍🏻
First 'surround' experience? Starwars back in 1977. Theater presented audio in 6 channel sound ! I JUST finished my 'movie house' theater. No over head channels, but Height front and rear mounted high on the wall. You should mention this, as it is in the setup graphics on my Marantz 6011 as an alternative. Thanks for the video!
earthquake sensurround....
The first time I remember surround sound was at the movie theater going to see Twister. Hearing the wind all around us was an amazing feeling
The
Predator waaaay back in 1987
The first time I was blown away by surround sound - it's been ever-present at the theater since I was a child, so, while appreciated, was taken for granted - was playing PUBG with headphones and being able to localize an enemy. Where they were, approximate distance, what direction they were moving, if they were above me or below. Mind blowing. Hearing the report of a sniper rifle in the distance and the bullet whizzing past your head, and knowing exactly where that bullet came from never gets old.
Awesome explanation. This has quickly become my favorite tech related channel, to the point and great edition. Great work!!
Love all your videos. I was depending on my children for the technology but with your channel I feel confident and now I bragg about been able to do it my self.
I adore you!!!!!!
That is a huge compliment and we appreciate it so much! Thank you!
Thank you! Now, I understand the hype surrounding Dolby Atmos. I've only encountered it so far using my AirPods Max, which I'm sure is watered down. However, depending on the content, the sounds is still amazing.
Yeah man AirPods aren’t even close. If u can find somewhere that has overhead speaker to demo atmos and it’s almost life changing amazing
Thank you for explaining surround sound and the .1 lingo! Very clear and helpful breakdown on the basics of surround sound and Dolby Atmos. Thanks again!!
My grandfather was a movie buff (made me into one) and had a Bose surround sound. When I was a kid he had it and it was thousands of dollars at the time.. we watched the original predator, and I remember the hairs on my neck standing up when I first heard a creepy sound in the movie… I remember thinking when I grow up, I need this!!
Great explanation here Caleb! This was helpful in convincing my partner to get an Atmos system! :D
Gee thanks. Now I need to get a dolby atmos setup when I get my new tv!
0:51 My first surround-sound experience was in the 70s. My best friend's dad had a quadraphonic stereo system. Quad-stereo, yeah, didn't make sense at the time either. He had several vinyl recordings of classical music and if you sat in the center of his living and closed your eyes, it was like you were sitting in the middle of the orchestra. I loved The Student Prince. First audio enhanced movie was either Tora! Tora! Tora! or The Battle of Britain, around the same time. Then, of course, Star Wars, the year I graduated from high school. First at-home experience with surround-sound was Top Gun, in the mid-90s. And now we have so many sound channels it's hard to keep up.
I've always thought I knew what "object-based" Atmos sound was, but I never realized the crux of the matter is the separation of 'Channel' and 'Placement of Object in 3D Space' especially in commercial theaters with multiple speakers per channel. Thanks for the explanation!
My phone has an inbuilt chip for Dolby Atmos. I know it's not as good as 7.1 discreet system but the music and movies sound phenomenal with hifi headphones.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that ain't Atmos bruhhhh
@@Mashburn007 it is bruh😑
@@GauravSharma-dy8xv gtfo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
U too simp to get amazed by a low level DAC which is just tuned by 'Dolby' and rest is just Atmos marketing Label shizz🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a great memory of hearing THX for the first time with Independence Day in the theater. It was so awesome.
The 1st time I heard real THX in a theater built with it was the re'release of Star Wars A new hope. Pure awesome clearity. I' Day also at that same theater. 👍😁😉
Stoked to have come cross this channel!!!! It’s awesome.
First heard of surround sound with my Phillips music system - those days it would have a central system with cassette and CD player and have 2 speakers on both sides. Subwoofer at that time was rarely available and used to cost three times.
Good Stuff as always Caleb! Could you please now do a video on DTS:X and Auro to get the message out to folks that other flavors of 3D audio exist? Dolby Atmos is awesome but I've always loved DTS and watching every new release come out with Dolby all over it saddens me since that is all folks here about these days.
Auro is prohibitively expensive for most people.
DTSX is my fav. It sounds more "full" to me. The low end seems deeper too. Plus, it can handle more audio objects than Atmos which can't do more than 128.
@@renesonse5794 no its not lol
@@doublet147 Yeah, Gladiator in DTSX with ceiling speakers is just great.
@@lucy-me-lucy I haven't seen Gladiator on 4k blu-ray. Didn't know it was in DTSX, thx. Looking forward to that purchase & watch!
The first time I heard it was at a Circuit City with one of those Bose 5.1 satellite systems they use to make. The scene was the original Jurassic Park scene where they were running through a field with all of the dinosaurs. A DVD with 480 resolution on a rear projection TV was the height of technology.
Yep me too!! Jurassic park first time I heard Sound coming from behind me!!
Ooohhh man, "Circuit City". What a throwback.
yeah. technology in the last 20 years has really advanced so fast its amazing
First time I heard surround sound was in the late 90's at a audio shop using a Onkyo sound system. The demo played Air Force One. The experience was phenomenal as the fighter planes seemed to be around me. Since then i have been addicted to the audio narcotic but have bill fold constraints. Excellent video.
My first experience with surround sound was over 30 years ago in 1992 when I installed a 5.1 Pro Logic setup in our family room. The first movie was The Hunt for Red October and I have been hooked ever since.
Absolutely Fantastic explanation
Great video, would love to see one in the future about Dolby Atmos for headphones.
It won't make a huge difference in headphones ever!
yes pls make a video on Dolby Atmos for headphones.
So, I recently upgraded from a standard 5.1 sound bar from Vizio, to their latest 2021 model that has Atmos and DTS:X. From what I'm understanding learning more about Atmos is, I still get some of the benefits when it comes to individual object placement, which will improve the overall surround experience, but will lack height channels. I don't have the option of doing a dedicated speaker system due to space and because I rent vs own. Either way, I've found Vizio to do a really good job with their sound bars, and I've already noticed a more immersive and realistic experience with the new system. Of course, it also depends on content as to how much of a difference I hear as well.
With Apple's adoption of Atmos into their music, some of the surround mastering is great, some is hard to tell. I've had the goal of getting a hold of Super Audio CDs to test since I have a player for them (with in my 4k Blu-ray player) but maybe Atmos encoded music will take their place ( in the streaming market).
WOW...I think this is the BEST explanation of Atmos I've ever seen.
Nice explanation of 5.1, 7.1, and Atmos. I've had 7.1 at home but when I last moved I decided to simplify to a cheap sound bar. It's not as good but the lack of wires and tip-prone speaker stands is kind of worth it to me. 🤷♂
btw trinnov-altitude-32 is the most powerful 3D Sound Processor on the market right now. its like professional cinema for home cinema - the speaker mapping and optimizer is awsome
But only worth it for total Cinema and Audio cracks with deeeeep pockets. The Price just for the Receiver is crazy
Twister was my first surround sound experience. I was blown away...
Great video to explain Dolby Atmos! Thanks very much for taking the time make this video. The first movie I saw or heard Dolby Surround Sound was Twister. You could heard the cow behind you in the "flying cow" scene.
May I request you to educate us on the differences between Dolby, Atmos, Dtx and other formats please
The first time I really remember going "wow" about the sound Ina movoe was the lobby shooting scene in the Matrix. She'll casings bouncing all around the room, it was truly transformational. Love good sound!
Same here...shivers on my spine when i remeber that scene
wow what a great movie , my was fast and fuiruius 1
I just go hip to Dolby Atmos a few days ago. Thanks for the explanation!
First surround sound was with Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi in1983 when THX intro came at you and you nearly jumped out of your seat!!! Thanks for all the great reviews and videos to explain tech!!
Probably it applies for DTS-X in the same manner as Dolby Atmos?
I'd love to hear more about DTS-X also. I know it's very similar. My PS5 has it
DTS-X actually has the capabilities of being better than Atmos. Dolby TrueHD (the 7.1 channel core before the Atmos effects are added on) has a lower maximum bitrate by about a quarter of the size, 18 to 24 mbps. DTS also has double the range in the kHz. You usually have punchier bass and deeper sounds with DTS tracks and touch more clarity with Dolby.
This was great! I’m curious about Dolby Vision next.
Hey Westin a good video about Dolby vision would be great.
Since I work with DV I can in short explain what it does with the video. Dolby Vision decoder knows parameters of TV, display capabilities etc. it uses this data along with metadata in the movie to display video on your screen in the best way possible for given TV, in contrast to HDR10 where all of the movie is mixed on some reference display and it plays on everything in the same way. So basically DV tells your TV how to display itself so it looks better, more vivid, blacks are more black, dark or light areas have much more details. (imagine if that battle episode in GoT S8 was with DV we could actually see the action lol). Most of the impact of DV is in lower to mid range TVs where displays aren't as good(so most of the TV market really).
@@nevrast-1 thank you for the FYI. It's really important for me to learn all about the things I love. Thanks again.
@@michaelwyckoff7593 you are welcome! Ofc there is much more cause there is multiple DV 'profiles' which some are compatible backwards with HDR decoders for example but at the cost of missing some of the metadata therefore quality.
@@nevrast-1 love chatting with you my friend. In a nutshell does DV help to improve the performance of a lower end and mid range TV so that movies that support DV are benefiting from it. If I'm way of base please let me know so I can fully understand all about Dolby Vision because I enjoy learning new things as much as possible.
The first time I heard the term surround sound was in 1975. In fact, it was "sensurround" for movie theaters. The movie was 'Midway' and it was a huge success. While we were outside the room, we could not only listen to but also feel it vibrates. Inside the room, every time a plane took off from the deck of an aircraft carrier or did a fly by, the whole room vibrated and it was loud, very loud. The other movie I watched with sensurround was 'Battlestar Galactica'. It felt more 'real' for it had speakers strategically installed in the room. As for Dolby Atmos, I have it in my Samsung cell phones and also in my laptop pcs. Although, I only have a 2.1 hi fi system, it works perfectly. It does not sound artificial like the previous surround systems. I've been listening to some of The Beatles latest remixed albuns and they sound amazing.
First surround sound experience? I think I was 8 years (1972) when I saw Tora! Tora! Tora! in a theatre with surround sound AND the seats were hardwired to vibrate when explosions and rumbling happened in the movie. Blew my single-digit mind!
Can you do an update on the best low, mid, and high price Dolby Atmos setups for late 2021? Thanks DT.
1$ headphones at my closest gas station.
Fantastic video, this helped me understand Dolby Atmos much much better. Many thanks @Caleb 👍👍
Great explanation of the format!!! One thing I'd like to add--though you did mention Atmos Music very briefly--is how Dolby Atmos for Music is taking music creation to the next level. Creators now are no longer bound by just two speakers. This is a jolt for the music world and as the technology gets even better--mostly referring to the way Dolby Atmos/Spatial Audio plays binaurally in headphones--the enjoyment level of listeners will only increase leading to amazing immersive experiences!!!
What a great explainer! Thank you for making this.
It's divine
Do u have any job apart from commenting in literally on all youtube videos?
It's the worst thing to ever happen to Home Theaters Sound.
@@techsamurai11 Why?
@@ha231 it has complicated sound for just about everyone without much of an upgrade in terms of sound and pushed prices up. That’s why the wireless Sony ht-9 with 4 speakers is the future as it reduces 11 speakers to 4 and can create virtual speakers. Atmos has pushed most home theater setups to either 1 speaker (a soundbar) or the 4 speaker Sony.
First movie I can remember hearing true surround sound was HEAT in the theater, bullets whizzing by were amazing
HEAT *NEEDS* a 4k remaster
Mine was a similar effect. I remember watching Saving Private Ryan, I found myself unconsciously hunched behind the seat in front during the D Day landings beach bit, with bullets zipping and whizzing by.
were 👮
Ooooh, that's a good one, Vincent!
I now have super respect for Dolby Atmos... I loved 5.1 cuz it was "discreet"
And always thought of Dolby Atmos as up firing pre Dolby ProLogic... I have a total new respect for Dolby Atmos now liked this video and subscribed to this channel
Really,
Loved the details!! Lots to learn...
Many thanks to you 🥰
I think dolby has made a mistake slapping the logo on everything. I've had friends buy dolby atmos virtual soundbars they think thats what atmos is, then they come to my screening room and are blown away.
For sure oh boy you must have fun when they hear your home theater I'm just in the process of figuring out how I'm going to set up mine I'm going to buy the Dennon 6700 H so its going to kick ass !
Finally I understand 3D sound!! I knew Dolby Atmos was a game changer but didn't quite know how it was done.
I'm looking at the new Bose soundbar900 that supports Atmos. Are you willing to do a review on it in the future?
The first surround sound experience that I had was Quadraphonic back in the mid-70's, it was decent for its time but ultimately didn't go too far. Then there was also Laserium at Griffith Park ...
Band of Brothers was the first real time I heard surround sound outside of theaters. Blew my mind
First time I heard surround sound was when twister JUST came out on home video. There was a Display at a Sam's Club where they had a small contained surround sound setup. It ruined me for stereo there and then. I've HAD to have Surround sound ever since. I didn't actually get my first 5.1 setup till years later though. I currently have a 5.1.2 setup and I love it.
When it comes to music, i don;t really see the advantage of Atmos.
Hanz Zimmer now writes in Atmos and it is an experience. I dont think very many music artists will ever learn it though so I agree.
I’m really hoping you get to review the Sony HT-A9 sound system. I’ve skeptical until I hear from you. You’re channel is brilliant!
Great walkthrough! I learned so much. Thanks.
Awesome explanation!!
Finally i got the video, which i want to watch since many years, very well explained
Excellent explanation. Detailed but clear and simple at the same time.
I turned on Dolby Atmos on my phone recently and I have not looked back. Everything sounds so much better and I can hear words in movies and songs better.
Thanks for the information and your time. This video is gold.
The very first time I was watching a movie in the theatre and noticed surround sound, it was the flick "Phantom of the Paradise", by Paul Williams and Brian DePalma. There's a scene where Williams character is listening to a performer on stage while he is in a balcony suite. I swear his voice came out of a discrete speaker in the rear left. This was early 70's, and wow.
Thanks for this fab explanation Caleb, great job. I've just recently purchased an Atmos TV which in itself is impressive but upped the ante with an atmos soundbar and subwoofer which sounds incredible. next for me are wireless rear speakers. Can't wait to get them! Thanks again from North Yorkshire England.
best description I have seen yet. thank you. i know understand. ps first time I heard real surround sound was Saving Private Ryan, dope
Thank you for taking the time to break it down for us slower folks. We get it! But, it takes a bit more time to soak in.
My irst surround sound experience in a cinema screening the original Jurassic Park, where ticket stubs are collectibles, cinema halls are double storey on two different levels, and they pull the red curtains covering the screen to the top, signifying time for patrons to shut up. Cinema ads are less intrusive, and trailers for upcoming movies are a rarity. Truly mind-blowing surround sound experience in DTS.
This helped me understand surround sound and Dolby Atmos, you made it very easy to understand. Thank you.
The first surround sound I heard was at a large music concert.
There were no digitised sounds at the time, nor any kind of FFT processing. The great sound we all heard was produced with some clever application of phase shifting techniques...
This is like the TED talk I listened to on Quantum Physics..............except you made this easy to understand AND (the And is very important), I actually will be able to retain the knowledge!
one of the best break downs and visualization of atoms ! Be proud nailed it elegantly done and simplified.
Thank you for doing this! Very concise and informative!
Wow awesome explanations...not too nerdy, not too geeky....just right!
