More info, please? What are the targets for advertisements vs program? Thanks!
@SoundSpeeds3 жыл бұрын
@@curtisjudd I'll clarify. Television shows and movies are produced for release on their platforms. Movies may be adjusted before airing to adhere to LUFS/LKFS guidelines too but TV stations often compress any program content. They also visually process shows too which is why TV is a terrible place to watch a movie or TV show. These are done within guidelines (which are minimum specs) to make it a better experience on TV. Movies and TV shows are produced to look and sound a certain way and if it were possible to air without changing anything, it would be ideal for those of us that worked on it but there are broadcast and cable cast regulations that must be followed. I worked on a show that aired on USA and me and the sound mixer heard all kinds of distortion and compression when the show aired because that's what the station does to all program content. My mixer recorded the show and sent it to post and asked them about some of the things he was hearing. They responded back that their master didn't sound like that and this was common in TV. If we bought the DVD of the show, it would sound better. He was right. It's been over 2 decades since I worked at a TV station and that was pre-HD but I'm sure stations still have safety measures to make sure audio doesn't go out too loud or that dark scenes don't go too dark. Commercials, on the other hand, want to be noticed and may do tricks to get attention. Extreme compression is one truck they'll use so that if you're watching a late night show and doze, you'll wake up and watch. Another trick they'll use it playing the A-weighting curve - boosting the crap out of mid and higher frequencies because you hear them better. Really annoying infomercials may even apply aggressive low and high pass filters so that there's more headroom for an annoying presence boost (for example). Commercials don't have to be cinematic masterpieces, their goal is to sell a product so if that means using tricks to sound louder and be noticed, they will. Commercials aren't immune to processing but aren't afraid of playing games.

@@SoundSpeeds No need to be brief here, sir. Tell me more... Hahaha, thanks for the wealth of input. Your information coupled with what Curtis conveyed tells me that by sustaining certain loudness levels with very few quiet moments, infomercials and such can be perceived to be louder but still fly below the standards that mainly account for dynamic range differences. Am I understanding you both correctly?
@SoundSpeeds3 жыл бұрын
@@insanejughead I think I understand that and I think that's right. Curtis said sustained loudness over time is perceived louder than audio with more dynamics and that's 100% right. What I added is that sometimes commercials and infomercials will use tricks to maintain loudness for the entire time and/or boost frequencies humans have a more difficult time ignoring while cutting those we may tune out.
@keensoundguy66373 жыл бұрын
In the home audio world, some of us remember when "loudness" referred to a special EQ control based on the long historied Fletcher-Munson curves that describe human hearing as it relates to the perception of loudness. The usual take-away for mixing engineers was to mix a track so it sounds its best when played back at high volume. Hence the phrase, "crank it up, dude", right? Thanks for the link to the ITU document. Great discussion in it about true peak vs peak-sample metering -- certainly worth being aware of.

When I was in high school (about 45 years ago), there were the Stereo Amplifier Kits. There was a push-button in the amplifier called Loudness, and its purpose was to allow low-frequency notes (bass) to be heard better when you would listen at low volume. It simply amplified only the low frequencies. It was very comfortable to listen to music at low volume while still hearing the bass while everyone else was sleeping.

I'd always wondered why LUFS was sometimes nonlinear when calculated over videos with long stretches of background noise, such that increasing the amplitude by X dB didn't always increase LUFS by the same amount. Obviously increasing overall amplitude was dragging the practical noise floor above the -70 dB threshold, and causing those parts of the clip to start contributing to the loudness computation. Thanks!

@@curtisjudd I found the Loudness meters in my NLE. They are in LUFS, great. But there are 4 measurements: Momentary, Short, Integrated and Range. I guess that the numbers you gave for YT or Spotify is the integrated. But what about the Momentary and Short, what are good values for those?

@@dlapierre99 Yes, integrated is the measurement of the entire video but you have to play though the entire piece to get the final integrated measurement. The others are for analyzing and solving issues at particular spots within the piece, e.g., maybe I need to compress or level out this little bit here...

@@curtisjudd Thank you so much! I have an option to generate a loudness log during render so I can get the integrated value quite fast if I render only the audio. And I am able to graph each 4 metrics over time in Excel. Thanks a lot again, now I am able to understand what I am doing.

Awwww man... I started a similar video last week but delayed it to prep for the Epic stream. Great job as always sir.

Allen do it too, you can add something based on your experience to Curtis' already good video. I already see you preparing mathematical graphs :-)

@@GiancarloBiondi You see wrong. I'm no mathematician. ;-) Curtis did a better job of explaining the difference between loudness and volume than I was planning to because I wasn't going to do more than mention domestic vs international but my conclusion is the same. In Curtis's part 2 he'll demonstrate the process. It's funny, I'm pretty aggressive with my leveling and compression on this channel but in the real world I'm not a huge fan of compression as much as I am leveling. Well, unless it's kinda like a brick wall limiter as it is when I used to DJ. I had a compressor going to my amps so I could never push them past a certain level; infinity to 1 ratio, hard knee, threshold set to -1 dB and no output gain running into an amp wide open. The amps wide open is common. I could give it whatever level I wanted to at the mixer and it would never push the amps too hard, it would only distort if it went to high. I'm sure Curtis is going to kill it in part 2 like he did in part 1 but if I see anything else to add (to benefit those that take things to the extreme or for trolls) then I may revive it. This wouldn't be the first time I've shelved a project. In the mean time I'm sure part 2 will teach me some things just like part 1 did.

I'm sorry. You've also beat me to several topics. We're like a team!

@@curtisjudd Curtis I also made a video on LUFS, LUKS, dB, EBU etc but in Italian a few months ago :-) Apart from the fact that I started making videos recently and just for pleasure, speaking in Italian I turn to a purely Italian audience that has a limited interest in these topics. Your channel and Allen's have always stimulated me and pushed me to make videos on KZbin
