Well it’s been a while since, I was here last. I think 2 years?
These are frequency waterfalls showing the strength of the Star Wars films. Regrettably I only have few of the originals on laserdisc. The DVD doesn’t really count I guess, unless one of you request a waterfall from a specific moment from the film.
I’ve taken liberty of doing Return of the Jedi. The laserdisc is early 1990 edition widescreen with digital PCM and analogue track.
Thou its not practical to do the whole film as it would take me, many hours to edit the size of the waterfalls and upload them and so and so on.
So a few short moments will suffice I think…unless of course of get the strength to do the whole film as it would make for some interesting fact.
The lows have been taken off my AVR Kenwood KRF-X9050D THX select sub bass output. AVR is set at 0db plus I’ve just boasted the sub bass gain by +10db to sparkle it up a little bit.
I’ve stopped the laserdisc at 5m 16s to get some feedback. Well I’ve placed a (memory repeat) at (5m 16s).
The waterfalls again show the strength of Jedi Knight, no I’m lying, they just show the strength of the signal.
The soft green is low strength the yellow is mild red high pink very high. Not Jedi has a few pink spots in these few graphs. The software I’m using is called Specturmlab that was designed for radio amateurs. Its also found use in recording sub bass or LFE.1 and so on.
20th Century Fox Fanfare introduction
John Williams Star Wars theme opening
Star destroy thunders with wide range while other effects are Death Star interior and shuttle craft dropping off Darth Vader some parts are musical score as well.
The ramp lowers on the shuttle Vader steps off the platform. It ends at the top where part of it is score, it than cuts to Tatooine where I stop the laserdisc.
