Going to a cinema screening... for one.
At this point, they can just give me a remote to control the volume ![]()
@LukeAlmighty And you’ll damn need it. Piece of shit movies with dialogue that’s barely audible, but if you dare turn the volume up the next scene the director throws a cinematic explosion at you specifically engineered to shake your entire house.
@kerosene @LukeAlmighty I HATE THIS especially when you have roommates or live in an apartment. The volume is all over the fucking place and it's impossible to manage.
That's why I use a compressor/limiter or normalize all of the audio when I watch anything. That's a MUST for movies. It makes it more enjoyable. It kind of ruins the immersion but I'm not using surround sound, fuck half the time I'm just using the TV speakers so it doesn't matter at that point.
My other pet peeve with movies is when they do camera pans that are too fast and the frame rate can't catch up with the camera movement. Shit hurts my eyes. Maybe 60fps video games have ruined that for me.

Do you have a guide?
@LukeAlmighty @kerosene FrankerFaceZ, the Twitch add-on, has a compressor for the player. There is probably something similar for YT. You could also just route EVERYTHING through a VST on your PC if you wanted to also I guess but that's getting a bit more advanced and probably not necessary.
There is an audio normalizer included in MPC-HC if you're on Windows. I use this fork because it still gets updated with a lot of nice features: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases
your personal projectionist will deal with it
