    Hi!

    I`ve got some problems with my soundtrack these days.. I`ve rendered my audiotrack seperatly to AC3. I changed the Dialogue Normalization to -31 (from -27) and the RF mode profile to none. I also used WaveHammer on some tracks to compress them a bit (medium compression) to bring them up to the level of the other files.

    The dialogue is slightly to loud compared to the music..

    And the worst thing is that it sounds like the music is unsteady.. I think the volume varies a bit.. It has nothing to do with the compression, because it also happens on the tracks that arn`t wavehammered.. Hope you`ve got some tips.

    Find the Levelator program. It’s free and it works miracles.

    The volume on the changes in the middle of tracks (it seems like something went really wrong, because I can`t hear it before I render it to AC3) .. But levelator will maybe fix that as well? Do I have to convert the track to ac3 in Vegas after using levelator?

    And when it comes to dialogue volume compared to music volume.. Should I just turn down the volume on the dialogue tracks, or is it another way to do this?

    You pass Levelator a WMV file and it outputs a new WMV file with the volume levels very well normalized.
