the word on the street is that it was possible up until 4.5 but has been ‘broken’ since. hey apple dudes…it’s time to fix it.

hi
i read your post on using eq to lower the music and bring up the dialogue track. it sounds intriguing but i’m not sure i understand. what’s the difference between lowering the music on the music track in the trad way and using your method? can you explain exactly how you apply your method? really interested to find out as sports promo style footage is driving lots of what i do. thanks.

stephen, thanks. that’s great. i’m well aware of the vu/ppm issues etc but i still would like to know which you would recommend:

my sound was recorded beautifully but i need to increase the level for output.

1. would you increase the level by raising the db on the timeline – grabbing the ‘rubber band’ and increasing the level,

2. or would you normalise it and set the level within the external software? (ignoring any additional work needed with the creation of new files)

another way of asking the question is if i was to take my edit to dubbing mixer in a sound studio and ask him to increase the levels etc what method would he use?

sounds pedantic but i don’t have proper broad spec monitoring yet so am i’m trying to get an idea of what is regarded as good practice. the impression i’m getting at the moment is that what sounds right is right. when i’m grading pictures this rule is also true but there are broadcast safe specs and methods which apply and i work within. i’m trying to find out as much as i can about simple sound mixing so i can get decent results in the same way.

thanks for that. still a little perplexed – although you were very clear. when i normalise a sound clip the sound wave increases in size but when i raise the level the sound wave remains the same – ie just the level of db is raised. what is the difference? what is happening to the sound wave, and why does it increase in graphical size?

do you not think it better to normailise the file to increase the dynamic range without clipping? raising the level in fcp just increases the volume, and does not increase the dynamic range.

any sound pros out there who can advise?
