Short Film Audio Mixdown levels
Hi Cow friends!
I’m mixing the audio for a short film, and have heard that it’s not best to try and push mixdown levels to peak near 0db, but rather aim for peaks at -12, with average around -20 db… is this true?
Thank you! -

Yes, for broadcast.

Thanks again, Ty. Will go ahead and presume that this is appropriate for festivals too. 🙂

If you use broadcast standards of reference tone at -20DBFS and nothing hotter than -10DBFS you’ll be fine.
