that said AC4 has some really good stuff, like a dedicated dialog channel that users could set levels on, finally solving the "whole movie is quiet then one explosion knocks the pictures off your wall and traumatizes your cat" problem

DD AC-3 has solved this problem, it's just that you're using VLC instead of a real dolby decoder to have dynamic range normalization take place.

Dolby has practically solved every audio issue in the early 90s but yall keep coming up with better idiots to gently caress things up, so Dolby tries to come up with more complicated fixes

object based audio forces people to go "turn up dialog k thx" even if the software FREEDOM FRIERS decide that "o sound come out good enuf"

If your speakers can go do <100hz they need to be set to small otherwise dynamic range normalization won't work correctly. also send the original untouched AC-3 bitstream to it or else you're dumb (is the metadata being passed through? open sores! who knows1!) and also if you are over 30 you will naturally have hearing loss in which case you'll probably want to enable some sort of "night mode" which forces the dynamic range normalization to max.

if you put that microphone not at ear level you might as well get hosed because you have EQs set for your dick and not your ears so sry
