audio versus video

[PeruvianSkies]

Sorry to disagree with you, but most of the time when listening to music I watch tv in closed caption. So No, I don't need the soundtrack to follow the story, just the words.
Another example: I used to work at a casino where they had a bank of tvs on one wall for simalcast horse racing. There were varies sizes in tv's some big, some small, some good picture quality others bad and well you couldn't hear the sound well due to all the other noise. Regardless of the tv type, they all served the purpose of conveying the info of what's happining with any particular horse race.
Visuals is all that is needed in conveying a message or story.

A horse race isn't exactly a narrative now is it?

Sure is, a blazing story of what happened to my paycheck
I went to see the third terminator movie, opened the door to another theater where it was in full swing, and it was georgous, and the DTS sound was amazing.
But in my theater the sound was flat, and I found out the DTS was "broken".
So I sat in the lobby at ten at night and waited an hour for the last showing in the other theater.
Do you know how many would do this? Not many.
I used to drive fifty miles to see movies with stadium seating and perfect sound and video,
a lot thought I was crazy(dont say it)
Trust me, video has audio beat hands down for the great unwashed, however.
Its just different is all. You keep asking this question because liking to listen to music
you think most feel that way but they dont.
They will sit and watch a movie but music is for parties, listening to while you jog or drive, etc, most arent serious music listeners.
I pointed out to you on another thread that up to 90% of the sound from a movie comes from the center channel and you didnt beleive me, well, thats because thats where most of the DIALOG comes from, and movies are mixed to be heard in theaters, so most sound comes from the front speakers
Because thats where the picture is, and where most of the sound comes from, which
is talking.
You keep trying to compare audio and video, but they are really two different experiences,
to most one has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
And when it comes to sound for HT, they just want their helicopters to blow up on cue

There is no such thing as DIALOG, if you read that post where you talked about the center-speaker you will see that I pointed out that the word is DIALOGUE. Learn how to spell the things that you are talking about, especially if you are going to capitalize the word. I never said that audio and video are the same thing, they are no't, but the compliment each other. It's like asking the question, "which wing is more important on an airplane...the left or the right?" Maybe in your world the left wing is more important, but to most people they feel that both wings are important, you can't have the full experience without both, and in the case of the airplane, I guarantee you that you want to have both working at the same time. Although, feel free to fly with only one wing sometime if you'd like to disagree.
