This was an interesting, anonymous comment on the blog: I wonder how many students succeed.In all fairness to Jesse Fox, the task of re-creating the THX sound is a standard homework assignment here at Stanford's CCRMA (Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics) in an introductory course entitled "Fundamentals of Computer-Generated Sound" ( http://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/220a/ ). Every year, twenty or so students attempt to re-create the sound using (currently) LISP and Common Lisp Music. Jesse's homework is now gaining far more notoriety than he ever dreamed or ever deserved.
Haha yeah This kind of reminds me of the video I watched in AZ when I was trying to figure out what they actually did to the audio for imax and the answer seemed to be overemphasize low end with massive overpowered amplifiers and everyone seems to think its awesome, and who's to say they're wrong. I do like the standards thx set for audio and the way their acousticians do the rooms thy setup. Thx I feel is a company that has higher audio quality standards, at least in the past, which I like and have a ton of respect for. I also think it's pretty badass the sound was made via code and digital oscillators.
