Great vid. I was taught the old way for British broadcast standard at uni and they were switching over to R128 as I left, so missed it. I've been wanting to know this for ages. The youtube standard was helpful too as my client has complained that my mixes are too quiet for multimedia as i always mix full range.

Great video!! thanks

Great video, Thanks. One thing I do in this context that may be valuable advice is to bus the dialog, music and FX to aux tracks. This allows control over them with one fader. I use these faders to bring the levels to compliant loudness rather than reduce track gain. I have found that sometimes reducing track gain can be problematic when setting compressor thresholds - too little signal means the threshold must be set very low. Some compressors don't go low enough. Also this idea can be valuable if the project is to be translated/overdubbed to another language. The dialog is kept separate and can be hidden easier.

Great video! Do you ever enhance dialog/VO with EQ in broadcast post? What about dipping the music around 1250hz to make the dialog truly come through? Would love a video on more audio processing in post production! :)

Excellent video, Paul. At 31:50 - If you push too much the threshold on the limiter, you may incur in audible distortion. How do you manage this? Thak you for your time.

What is it for to change the mono track to stereo track? Any particular reason?

Hi Paul. Love your video! Is it possible to get the files u are using in this video?

If you click interleaved when you open the session doesn’t that take care of the multiple mono tracks?

I just got waves metering, what I don't understand is why the options give -18LUFS and -9LUFS. Why is the no options for -23 or -24?

Thanks a lot for this video... it was really helpful!

Thanks for this video Paul! When you put a limiter on a master track to increase the loudness to -16lufs, your mix is always balanced or do you need to make some ajustments (volume automation) between dial and sfx/amb/music ?

@paulmaunder3007

+numark33 When you use a limiter to increase the overall level on the master the relative balance of elements in the mix remains the same. There should be no need to rebalance anything as long as everything is going through the same master.

That was amazing, Paul! Couple questions: The final track that you bounced out in WAV 48/24 is the only audio track that ends up in Premiere (or whatever video editing software is being used) for the final video cut? Also, what are the advantages of first bouncing to a new audio track within the session? Thanks for your time.

@paulmaunder3007

4 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the really late reply! Yes, the only track which finds its way back into Premiere is the stereo mix. When adding it to the video timeline, make sure all original audio is muted. There are a few advantages of an internal layback within the session. You can use outboard hardware such as EQs, compressors and reverbs which can't be bounced offline. You can do a final check of the mix in real time. If you come back to the session at a later date and don't have some of the plug-ins, at least you've got a mix down right there in the session. You can also lay back multiple versions of the mix at once, with the right routing. This is less of a benefit now though as Pro Tools Ultimate lets you bounce multiple mixes offline anyway. Still, internal layback remains fairly common practice.

Is there a reason you use a limiter plugin to make the alternate KZread LUFS spec instead of just adjusting the trim level on the WLM plugin? Great video, thanks!

It's mainly just personal preference. I could have equally done it with the trim control on WLM.

Hi there sir, I must say its really a great video to watch and learned a lot from it.....Got one question here../ Can't we just put a limiter or the metering plugin in master fader to match with the loudness thing in the END after we're done with mixing the audio........ and not seperately by going to each track at a time ???

@McKinleyMorann

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, he did that - the limiter & meter plugins are both on the master fader at the end of the signal chain. The individual dialog track levels he adjusted initially were just to make setting up compression on the dialog channels, as basic levels pre-compression are already quite consistent. Are you talking about the compression plugin he added to the dialog? Def want to do that separately from the master processing, otherwise you'd be compressing all the music and sound effects as well and the compressor won't act on the dialog correctly.

Hi! I'm from Brazil, thank you very much for this video. We don't many information about it here. I'm using Pro Tools 11.3.0 and I only have 4 meters type that are: Sample Peak, Pro Tools Classic, Venue Peak and Venue RMS. I looked also on preferences and that's all the options. Could you recommend another loudness metering? Maybe for free or that don't be so expensive as waves?

@paulmaunder3007

The other metering options were only included in Pro Tools HD on older versions of Pro Tools. From Pro Tools 12 onwards you will find all of the metering options in the standard version. A free loudness metering option is M Loudness Analyser from Melda Productions.

What to do if I want to reconnect to unedited and timecode stamped multitrack originals? Maybe even without the first two tracks as those are often the mixdown for editorial/cam link?

Hey Paul, thanks for the video. There are certain plugins available which allow you to convert to -23LUFS with the click of a button once you have finished your final mix. What are your thoughts on these plugins and do you think they do a good job compared to monitoring the levels with the Waves WLM. Cheers, Greg

@paulmaunder3007

8 жыл бұрын

+Greg Canning Hi Greg. I think it's a convenient option to have and would be especially useful when re-purposing old PPM mixes to -23LUFS, especially if you had to get through a lot of episodes quickly. For new mixes though, a good dubbing mixer should be able to get the mix to within tolerance without the need for a correction button. Having said that, the WLM plus plug-in does actually have a Trim button, which, once the whole program loudness has been measured, allows the level to be automatically tweaked to hit the target level precisely. I've used it occasionally and it's fine, as long as it's not a substitute for proper level monitoring and mixing.

Wanted to ask regarding the WLM. The US version ITU-R BS.1770-3 doesn't seem to be included in WLM? I rely on WLM as its the only loudness meter I have. My WLM only has ITU-R BS.1770-1. Has Waves upgraded this to version 3?? Should I upgrade my WLM? I haven't done content for Aerican broadcast yet but if I did, what can I do? Is it important?

Hi Harri. There's no absolute standard for cinema but -27LUFS would be a good level to aim for. I mixed a film last year and worked to that standard. It translated well into the cinema.

hey, I just had a question and maybe I am technically wrong in this but in case of music with dialogue , can't we do side chain compression so when dialogue comes in music goes down. like how they do in radio shows?

@paulmaunder3007

You can do that, yes. The only problem is, it can only ever react to the incoming audio. Sometimes it's preferable to fade down music just slightly before dialogue begins.

Also, faders are aggregated. So towards the top you have more resolution - more space work with. That's why the numbers next to the faders are closer together towards the bottom and further apart towards the top.

Hi Paul - thank you so much for making this video! Extremely helpful for someone starting out in post production. I was wondering - when in the process would you usually de-noise/ EQ dialogue? Would you clip gain the dialogue after EQing/ De-noising to make sure it hits -23 LUFs or beforehand?

can you use a side chain to control the level of the music?

@paulmaunder3007

8 жыл бұрын

+Luis Florez You could use a side chain on the music by triggering it from the dialogue. The only problem with that is that in post production mixes, you'll often want to start fading the music down slightly before the next dialogue line comes in. Sidechaining only reacts to it. Also, it's hard to get the release time correct as you'll want to avoid the music coming up in between words but not have it so long that there's a big pause when you actually want it to come back up. For these reasons, sidechaining wouldn't be the ideal solution for a mix like this. You have more control by automating the level of the music itself.

Why automating the Music while you can simply use a sidechain Comp? what do you think about the Nugen LM-Correct? You could mix without always checking the EBU Metering and Analyze the final Mix?
