Wave Rider (from Quiet Art) on the voices, aims at -25 dB RMS using averaging mode EQ, Compression, Master compressor The room where works is calibrated for -23 LUFS so he knows what that sounds like. Bounce the mix into RX6 Loudness to -18 LUFS stereo, then back into ProTools for encoding the MP3. Field recording: Line Audio CM3 Studio recording (Voiceovers, etc) Sound design techniques Track layouts Separate chains - dialogue, voiceover Soundminer - sound fx software program, tagged with metadata so the sounds are easily searchable.
