    Even though I'm not going to use this information for tv and film this is exactly the kind of tip i was looking fpr to make my music more interesting. The only question i have would be , is there any wau other than ising dolby atmos to create a panning effect that comes from above or below instead of simply front back or sides?

    • @tomefinger

      There are some settings in binaural mixing that are supposed to influence height, but I have not heard anything convincing, and that seems to be the general opinion. ATMOS, with ceiling speakers, is the best for sure.

    I was checking a mix and trying to stay within these guidelines and played something on Netflix for comparison, everything sounded wayyy louder than my mix. Is there some loudness compensation going on when you stream Netlfix? Because the difference was huge compared to my mix, which is around -24 LUFS long term, I swear it was more than twice as loud. I was playing Netflix from my computer btw, because I know some TVs have some settings that mess with the audio levels.

    Thanks Tom! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with this community. One note, and please correct me if I am mistaken. I believe at 2:41 you switched the loudness specs with regard to film vs TV and streaming. I believe you meant to say: - 24 LUFS +/- 2 for theatrical - 27 LUFS +/- 2 for TV and streaming Thanks again.

    • @tomefinger
      @tomefinger Місяць тому

      Hey, I appreciate you looking out, but that is what I meant to say. -24 is for TV and streaming and -27 is for theatrical. The outlier is Netflix, which asks for their streaming files at -27 theatrical spec. All this really means is that there is 3 more dB headroom at -27, so the loudest stuff can be up to 3dB louder.

    Do you add SFX elements that are only heard in the M&E and not on the English (or original language) version mix? I generally build a full fill M&E after I've done dialogue edit, and with dialogue muted, then keep the stuff I've added for the sake of the M&E in the full mix. Also, have you used tone synthesizing software like iZotope (product name escapes me) to create tone to fill in gaps in DX where the PFX have been moved to FX? Thanks for the video!

      Hey, I like to put the de-esser first, because it is band specific, best to take that out first, then those frequencies won't be causing your compressor to jump, then hit it with a soft compressor.

    If you want to hear some terrible movie sound check out Hollington Drive off Acorn TV. If there was an NTSC version of the UK show I would buy it. Great multi-episode TV with the worst audio engineering ever. Needs at least a 4:1 compression ratio at -25db to even try and make it listenable. I recorded episode 3 with one of my Tascam SDHC card recorders and then uploaded it into Sony Sound Forge Pro to try and fix it adding some EQ with the compression. The microphone techniques used are so bad there is not much to work with. As a side note, I have been paying attention to the kbps rates of DVD audio and am shocked at the MP3 level of PCM audio I am finding. I have seen the low of 224 kbps and a high of 448 kbps. No wonder sound with video is garbage. EVEn a high quality DAC can't fix this. 4K and 8K TV with mp3 sound. Now I know that high resolution sound in 2024 is the CD with external DACs and my two turntables with nice phono stages.. What a step backwards. Even Dolby Atmos is only 768 KBPS audio, not even CD quality.

    Perfect video! Is it advisable to use clip gaining to approximate levels between two or more dialogue sources, as you would for a singer? Which would also help prevent "crushing"?

    • @tomefinger
      @tomefinger 2 місяці тому

      Yes, for sure. I do that all the time. I like clip gain to get the clips in the right approximate volume, then I use volume automation to finesse the levels, usually with a fader.

    I had been using Surrcode for LtRt on every mix. I found that it added dimension where downmixing did not. However, I'm now on Pro Tools Ultimate 2023.12.0 on an M3 Macbook Pro at home, and this plugin no longer works. Do you happen to know if Neyrink SoundCode is still viable? I'm considering getting it right now, because I haven't found a replacement that comes close.

    Question: Is it better to cut the tops off (like you did) where you have a threshold of like -11, and a 4:1, or Go for an overall lighter compression over the full range like -25 threshold and a 2.5:1 ratio? I can't really notice a difference between the original, and the compressed, when I use -25 2.5, but it allows for a more stable volume range. Where, when I use a -12 4:1 or 5:1 I can hear a muffled sound in the loud parts, like... it sounds synthetic. Could be my ears. I am new at this. To me, using a limiter at -4 sounds cleaner than a hard compression like -12 6:1 Your thoughts?

    • @tomefinger
      @tomefinger 8 місяців тому

      Hey, I haven't tried the setting you are using, but now I'm curious to see how they would compare. My key thought is every engineer finds the things that works and sounds best to them. If your ears are telling you that is a good sounding setting then run with it. We all do things a little differently and that is in a way how we have our own style or sound. I'm going to play with your settings though.
