  • Using Wave Hammer multiple tracks

    Posted by Larry Watts on February 18, 2009 at 5:15 pm

    I’ve never asked this specific question.

    If I have two tracks of audio-
    Track one with the male host of our program on it
    Track two has a guest on it.

    Both tracks have compressors on them with the Sony Wave Hammerat the end of the chain.

    Individually they do a great job preventing peaking, but together I have a harder time preventing peaking when the hosts laughs or speaks loudly while the guest is talking.

    I have the Volume maximizer tab set to voice and the output level to -3Db. This scenario stills allows for the overlall mixer to show peaking.

    WHY?
    And what do I need to do to fix this?

    Thanks

    You can add a compressor in the master channel effects bin. I allways do that to avoid clipping, but only set it to compress the clipping peaks and not compressing during normal dialog. Two compressors compressing at the same time can be cofusing to adjust if you don’t like the sound. Danny Hays

    Danny,
    Sad to say I never thought of that, or heard anyone else suggest it, but once hearing it, it is a bug Duh! Why didn’t I think of that.

    I’m going to go looking for the area that includes only the clipping peaks since that is new. I may need to post again if it eludes me!

    Thanks

    Larry
