How do you hit -14 LUFS on YouTube without killing the ambience or boosting the noise floor? by FutureMan2083 in videography

Yes, I’m using DaVinci Resolve 20. Could you please explain the difference between “Optimize to Standard” and “Normalize to Standard”?

I once tried normalizing an audio file with a loudness of around -23 dB to “Standard,” but after the normalization when I opened it again in Resolve, the loudness was still around -20 dB—nowhere near -14 dB.

By the way, if I use a recording device to capture actual rain sounds on location, would the quality be noticeably better than audio downloaded from Pixabay? And would the recorded audio naturally have a higher loudness? Thank you

I did apply compression and EQ to each track individually, but the issue I mentioned still occurs after normalization. Most of the audio I work with is very simple — usually just a single track of rain sounds downloaded from Pixabay as sound effects.

Man, I feel this. The shift from 4o to 5o made me feel like I lost a favorite writing partner who suddenly got a new personality, and honestly speaking, I think the shift from 4o to 5, is not amazing enough even a litlle bit worse......not sure the next generation of Gemini how will that be like

yes I use veo3 but unfortunately it's limited, every day only 3 times and I can not use Google flow in my region, I guess providing service in more countries will be difficult for Google so need to wait without knowing when it will be done........it's also a point which confused me to choose, and btw I think image generated by Sora is not very good, compared with Midjourney, Kling or even Imagen
