Hey not sure where this should go cos i dont know anything much about it and it doesnt appear to be a terribly easy thing to google.
been remapping adio tracks to encode dolby ladida. Scary seein how i know NOTHING about audio and yes this is my job. I get paid to do this.
Was doin this happily and pretending to no what i was doing and somehow was succesful at getting the whole 5.1 thing on the movies and having all the right stuff on the right tracks. woot. (yeh u lot think experts do all the adio for your movies - not tru)
but then one day someone (a QA guy i suppose) said something was wrong and someone investigated and it turned out someone had changed a setting on some peice of equipment. the setting was the dialogue norm and it was supposed to be set at -27db but was something else so something was wrong with the audio for a couple of days till it was picked up.
anyone got some insider knowledge on what dialogue norm is exactly.
