Dynamics, RMS and Peak Levels | iZotope Pro Audio Essentials

Compression is used to help recordings achieve consistency of level. But how do we measure level in the first place? This video explores two ways that level is measured: Peak and RMS (or average).

This the best explanation of RMS in a matter of minutes. Good job

[@kchathurangamusic]

really great explanation in less than two minutes , wow it is amazing , thank you very much

[@ShaarangDeepak]

I wanted to apply autogate and Man !! I was getting more and more confused with every video I was watching on youtube. Thanks for making it clear with waveforms.

Really good explanation, thank you so much!

Excellent...

amazing

BEST GUY EVER!

during the rms or average level portion you said "we typically use a window of about 300ms." I have to assume you mean this would be the time it takes for the signal to be released by the human ear because the initial sound of the signal is caught at 50ms for the normal human ear, with hearing being our fastest sense.

Thank you so much...

So... RMS = dynamic range?

[@RG36c]

Not quite. RMS stands for Root Mean Square. It's the average level. Peak minus RMS is the crest factor or dynamic range
