  AC3 Audio Tweak for Vegas Pro 9 (different than 8)

  Posted by Don Smith on August 5, 2010 at 2:37 pm

  I’ve been using Vegas Pro 8c for some time and just upgraded to Pro 9. I’ve used the following audio tweak for AC3 in Pro 8:

  Encode set to AC3;
  Click on custom tab;
  Dialog normalization: -31 dB;
  Dynamic range compression: None;
  On the first tab set diag. norm to “-31”;
  On the last tab marked preprocessing;
  Set the Line Mode & RF mode profiles to “None”;
  Now save this as a preset.

  However, when trying to set up the same tweak on Pro 9, those same options don’t seem to exist. So is the default in Pro 9 basically the same as the above tweaked Pro 8 changes (which I’d like to keep)? Or if not, how do you tweak Pro 9 to be the same?

  I just set my dialog normalization to -30dB on the Audio Service tab and set the set the Line Mode & RF mode profiles to “None” on the Prepossessing tab and it seems to sound good. I find that -31dB to be a bit too loud but those are the only two you can change.

  Thanks, John. Still trying to used to Pro 9, but it’s nice that there isn’t a whole lot to learn different from Pro 8. Also, it’s nice now to be able to just drop those iTunes downloads on a timeline and convert to mp3 or whatever, rather than having to convert via Quicktime like I had to with Pro 8.
