Excellent tutorial! One thing to add here is that insight can write the loudness automation as it plays when in automation write mode. That way you don't have to rely on the loudness history to adjust moments, but can actually see the moments in the timeline for faster workflows and accuracy in what moments are causing the loudness issues :)
It just write the automation in a lane so you can visualize loudness as it runs. It would change automation on a second pass if it’s different! Pretty handy.
You're adjusting relative levels between music, sfx and dialogue to obtain a purely technical goal. The relative levels between the music, sfx and dialogue should be creative decisions. If you were happy with the mix creatively before you did this metering pass, wont the mix now be skewed?
You say the Levels meter adapts to what you are measuring I use Logic in surround mode and levels always stay in 2.0 don't know why, I cannot have my session displaying surround meters do you have an Idea? don't find this anywhere on the web, and Isotope did not answers my messages...
Can anyone tell me how to force an audio clip to a specific integrated loudness on INSIGHT 2 (as an audio suite in ProTools)? I used to do this with the now discontinued RX Loudness Control, and it was very useful for delivering mixes (post production)
Does the Loudness History graph follow the transport in Pro Tools like Nugen Audio VisLM2? I know Insight is able to collect information from the Relay plugin and display different sources in the Spectrogram, but I think that should be available for all modules. That way you could set the Level Meters to measure only specific signals coming from specific Relay instances, and you wouldn't need to create a dummy channel just to meter the dialogue for example.
My boet, these past years, maybe past 5 to 10, you play a movie and the dialouge is whispering while the score blasts your ears to hell. Nothing is balanced like it was in the 90's early 2000's. What's going on?
The only issue with all of this finessing on a 30 second promo, is when the producer/director (sometimes the editor if he or she is a predator) comes in for the final mix session and wants a certain part of the music or sound effect louder. +/- 2db from -24 is not an error, it's leeway and subjective and comes to personal taste depending on the spot, where it's going to be played, the network and ultimately the producer. If it's a 30 second spot for a film like Iron Man for example, those effects and music are going to need to be WAY LOUDER and punchier. If its a spot about a romcom and those effects are layers of your every day swooshes then of course then can be lowered to match.
this is the most “i can’t think of anything the complain about so ill use an insanely specific example that applies to no one to make a point” ass comment
Let's talk about oversight instead of insight, why on earth have you included background music throughout the video? and not even music related to what's being said. Amateur.
