Volume level with LM

Post by unforgiv3n82 »

hi there,

As everyone who has authored before a dvd with LM knows, the volume LEVEL of the FLACS are too high,
and some times it just sound a bit distorted when you play it full volume on your stand alone dvd.

i'm using Sony Vegas for the mixing and sync, and i need to know if it's ok
just changing the volume in the audio track before rendering, and how much?? -5 maybe??

or i need to do that with another software like adobe audition?
and then put it on sony vegas for rendering?

thanks for your tips.

you need forst to do a low dB, may be -6, later you need to fix the peak since is cut and raw.... and later you need to make a audio restoration because Metallica put all high and all peaks in the same value, is like a big ball of noise....

i dont know, i have done some LM mixes and i make a great LM restoration.... that problem is not only high volume.... its like DM, is all cliping.

Yeah leomet is right. I'm not a huge fan of LM audio compared to other soundboards, but it's definately nice to have. Many of them vary in tone and volume, so it's a pretty much a crapshoot. Based on the individual show, you'll have to experiement w/ the speakers on your PC turned way up.
