Thx
All good
Fuck all videos that think they need to have an outrageous reaction face as their thumbnail
The THX sound meant your shit was about to get rocked. The fact that it’s even a phrase anyone would recognize tells you how great that shit is. No one talks about the dreamworks sound, though once I hear it I’m like oh yeah, that boy fishing from the moon, right.
Gus, we have Joel Haver now.

I miss the THX opener before movies.
The [sheet music](https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/05/thx-just-shared-the-original-sheet-music-for-its-deep-note-for-the-first-time/) for anyone wanting to play it at home. 😛
THX intro. How to instantly tell the quality of your sound system
I came in expecting a neat scientific explanation of the music theory and synthesis behind the sound. What I got was another lame ass unfunny skit by the completely devoid of charisma gus johnson
Those loud sounds are actually great for setting the volume at the start of the movie. It’s generally as loud as it gets so you can prevent being blown away by sound effects later. In a way, the Netflix tone on app startup is similar.
I never knew it was so well documented!
We ALL have a choice.
Looks like that [tax writeoff](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg8qDPGeFMU) is working out well.
The actual story of the THX sound, which is actually named Deep Note, is really pretty interesting. If memory serves me it was created on a Cray super computer in 1982.
[Here is an article about recreating it with modernish software.](https://earslap.com/article/recreating-the-thx-deep-note.html)
Sam Battle a.k.a. Look Mum No Computer [created a very similar sound with his custom, analog, hand built, 1000 oscillator drone synth.](https://youtu.be/c3wk9WWTfNs?t=293)
