#EDIT SOUND LEVELS IN DVD STUDIO PRO MAC TRIAL#
I corrected this by trial n error, did a few test encodes.and volar. I too have had this stupid low audio issue. Encode it for the web or Iphone and it's blaring loud. mov file and encode it for DVD it comes out too low.
#EDIT SOUND LEVELS IN DVD STUDIO PRO MAC MOVIE#
My home DVD plays everything very low, even professionally recorded movie releases, while my DVD at work plays them a little louder. I'm almost starting to believe that individual DVD players handle the sound differently. I've tried boosting the levels in FC and Soundtrack and that helps a little. Only to turn off Dialog Normalization in Compressor by setting it to -31. I'd really appreciate assistance with details on levels etc to adjust for in Compressor or STP! I feel like this should be simple but I'm missing a step!! Playing my discs requires me to increase volume to 22 or greater.Īm I double or "over" compressing this? Is there a more direct workflow or settings within compressor I should be tweeking?

It's much better with Dialog Normalization off, but still sounds low on the finished DVD.Īt the risk of comparing apples and hammers, I usually run my tv audio level on about 11. Compress then import into DVD Studio Pro.where it sounds quite lower when I play the track in DVDSP. I adjusted dialog normalization to -31, as suggested by Eric. The audio levels in this sound ok, even a bit loud.įrom here, I open the uncompressed QT movie in Compressor and select the Apple DVD Best Quality 90 minute pre-set. Import back to FCP and export as uncompressed QT movie. In another forum someone suggested my peaks were too low (around -12) for output to DVD so I exported the audio to Sound Track pro, used the compressor to tweek, then normalized and applied a little noise reduction. I started with the original audio track in Final Cut. I'm trying to get a handle on why the audio levels in my uncompressed QT movies are noticeably louder than what I'm getting onto my DVD. I need to bring this thread back to life. I've searched thru Google and the answers are all over the place and mostly pertaining to AIFF files, which is not what I get from my Compressor pre-set for DVD. There must be target levels (that I'm unaware of) for the audio in order to get best results.no? Right now I try to maintain peaking around -6db on the FC meter. Someone told me to just increase the track levels in FC so they are louder overall however, that seems rather imprecise. What should I be doing in my workflow so the sound on the DVD is closer to what I hear when editing?įor some reason I think I'm altering the sound file twice: once in compressor and a second time when DVDSP muxes it. I do not process the original soundtrack in Soundtrack Pro to adjust levels or normalize.just take it from FCP to Compressor to DVDSP. 16 bit 2 channel Center Mix -3 db, Surround Mix -3 and Dialog Normalization -27 dbFS) and an MPEG 2 video file.

I use the Compressor DVD Best Quality settings which produce a Dolby 2.0 AC3 file (48 kz. I'm using Final Cut Studio as my NLE and DVD Studio Pro to author SD discs using audio and video tracks output from Compressor. But when I play the DVD in a standalone DVD player, the audio is noticeably lower. Everything sounds alright on my editing computer from within Final Cut and it sounds alright when I "simulate disc" prior to burning. I need some help with the audio quality of my DVDs.
