Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>Reference mix is on top; our mix is on bottom. These are normalized to -1 dB peak, because I am specifically evaluating the mix. (If I just wanted to compare how they sounded and which I preferred, then it would make sense to normalize to perceived loudness, the default for <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a>-normalize.)</p><p>Our mix has more dynamic range, prob too much. That fits _my_ tastes, but it's not what the market prefers. You can see some limiting in the ref mix, but not excessive.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>I need to compare a reference mix to the one that my team did in the AES student mixing competition last month. <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> is a great tool for this, but first I need to normalize the audio tracks so they are at roughly the same perceived loudness. ffmpeg-normalize is a quick CLI tool for this purpose.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize/wiki/examples" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normal</span><span class="invisible">ize/wiki/examples</span></a></p><p>(I had to install several things to get to the point I could use this, but "you need this" first messages were helpful and clear.
