Im a firm believer that you should always use a compressor and not normalize. Then put a Limiter on Bus 1 to control total peak volume. You wont bring up the low volume parts without compression. Great stuff as always Jason!

The question that I have is would you recommend using "Normalize audio" before or after using Dynamics?

If you where to «render out» the video with the audio affected by the compressor and makeup gain, and re-import it into the timeline, showing what the waveform looks like with peaks compressed and the makeup gain applied it might show people more clearly what the dynamics processing does to the waveform vs what normalizing does to the waveform :)

Great video about the distinction Jay. One thing I recently learned from the engineering team on the settings like the new KZread normalize preset that has both a loudness and a true peak preset - It pulls the volume up to whichever one of those it hits first. In this case, and most of these it will usually just be the dBTP level. Since it doesn't do any dynamics it can't actually hit -14 LKFS. I think having that loudness part in there is kind of confusing since it would almost never be used since the dBTP would be hit first.

I asked that same question on your last video - clearly I wasn't alone. Thanks heaps for the follow up Jason. So I could use normalisation and then fiddle with the dynamics or would that be superfluous use of the normalize? It'd be great if Resolve could introduce an automatic compressor type of thing to accomplish this. Maybe one for the BlackMagic boffins to consider :)

Thanks as always Jason! If I look at how the graph moves, the Make Up slider in the compressor doesn’t just make the quiet parts louder, but it makes all parts louder including the loud parts. Am I wrong? I didn’t post this comment to nitpick, just because I hope to learn and because others might benefit too.

Well that's a coincidence Jason. Tonight I am doing some testing to see what effect ticking the Normalise Audio check box has on the KZread render preset. Well now I know. My present videos are basically Game sound output on 1 audio track and my mic audio on another and I want to make sure my levels are good and don't get turned down by KZread. I think getting my levels set before recording my footage is the way to go, followed by checking and adjusting the dymanics if required to make sure things are where I want them to be before I upload. Thanks for another detailed video explanation. 👍

I wanna make sure i understand the workflow or chain of audio manipulation. So for audio work, especially voiceovers, the first step of the process should be to normalize LUFS of the entire project according to KZread standards for example and then and only then do you move on to using compressors/limiters to fine tune the dynamics?

@JasonYadlovski

28 күн бұрын

You’ve actually got it backwards. First set proper/desired levels for all tracked based on track meters in mixer. Then move on to eq, dynamics, then effects. After mixing all tracks - dialogue, music and sound effects, then you check the overall loudness (LUFS) to meet KZread standards. You would use the loudness meters in Fairlight and/or the graph loudness meter on bus1 in the timeline tracks section of Fairlight. Does this help?

Hi Jason, another great video. I have a question. When delivering (to KZread) quiet nature audio, birds, a quiet stream, gentle breeze, how should the levels be set for that because I don't want them loud, I want them quiet to reflect the stillness of the scene but I do want people to know there is some audio there. I would very much appreciate your take on situations like that.

@JasonYadlovski

8 ай бұрын

Hi and thank you! For something like that, while I’m mixing it in my project in DaVinci Resolve, I would probably aim to have the level somewhere around -20 dB or so. If you don’t have anything else going on in your video, you may want to boost the final output (Bus1) just a little bit but you wouldn’t want to bring it all the way up to -14 LUFS because it would be too loud. I think as long as you set your track levels to a good listening level, your export should probably be OK but you’re gonna want to use your ears to really tell you where to set the final output. Maybe even do a few tests and put videos on KZread just to see how it sounds, you can always keep them private.

As I do not yet know enough about editing audio this was very helpful. I usually, for KZread, normalize to -14 LUFS and then in the Equalizer, turn on Band 1 (100) and Band 6 (13K1) and then as I go through the video tweak as necessary with any key frames. I haven't used the compressor yet (my poor computer might explode).

After applying dynamics can you then normalize it also so you get both effects? Or does normalizing it after the fact cause the dynamics to be disabled?

Sorry for bothering you Jay but can you tell me regards to your other video where you told us about 14 LUFS KZread standard if I understood correctly that to make our video loudness comply with KZread standards we need to do the following: 1) increase Gain in Dynamics panel of Voiceover Audio track, 2) if it’s not enough then increase gain for the whole Bus1 (by Bus1 I understand all of the audio in our video including voice, music and sounds), 3) use Compressor for Voiceover Audio to make our video sound better after changes we done and to reduce peaks.

What you really want to do is set your track(dialogue, sfx and music) levels to where they should be - for example dialogue around -10db. Once you get everything set up on a track level, including dynamics, EQ, and FX, and your mix is good, as the last step, you want to check the overall loudness of your video. Think of 'loudness' as part of the mastering process, not part of the initial track editing. Hopefully that video will help you out.

Question to Blackmagic: Why tf wouldn't you design the compression like in QBase or ProTools, where you can actually see the applied compression visually? That's a huge flaw!

You will have to boost your levels either on a clip by clip basis, using the faders or any number of other methods. As you mentioned, it will likely introduce some background noise which you can fix by using something like voice isolation if you have the studio version. If you don’t have the studio version, you can try using the expander to help reduce the background noise while you’re speaking You can also use a little EQ to help get rid of any nasty frequencies. You can also try using the compressor in the dynamics panel by enabling the compression and boosting the make up to help bring back the volume you need.

If setting up dynamics correctly there really shouldn’t be a need for normalizing, because the combination of the compressor (flattening the peaks) and the make up gain should, when set correctly, give you an even sound level and bring it up further. However, the normalize presets for different «end points», like KZread or Netflix, are based on their preferred levels, so using dynamics to flatten things out, and then normalize with a preset for the target delivery level, might be a good idea - at least that’s my understanding of why a normalize preset might be a good idea before delivery :)

@akyhne

Doing dynamic equalization and normalizing audio, are two very different thing, that serves different purposes. You should ALWAYS do normalization, while adjusting dynamics is only necessary when needed, like in the clip. And what the manual says, is not entirely correct. It normalize the audio to a given level, say - 14 DBFS for KZread, but it also lowers the max. peaks to not go higher, than - 1 dB, so essentially it does a kind of dynamic adjustment of the peaks. In a software like Adobe Audition, the normalize feature only adjust the target level, and not the target loudness, which makes it useless. If you use that software to adjust to, say, -1 dB target level on two different videos, the overall target loudness can end up being very different.
