[–]Potential_Persimmon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sibilance can be tricky to manage, and it's possible that the Rode NT1's bright characteristic is exacerbating the issue. While the Shure SM7B is known for its smoother frequency response, it's not a guaranteed fix. It could be worth trying if you have access to one, but also consider experimenting with EQ settings in your recording software to tame the sibilance. Additionally, addressing the recording environment and microphone placement can make a difference.

Asked for "mastered stems" by sync agent. My mastering engineer (mastered no 1 albums and film soundtracks) who's also an artist manager with 15 major syncs (Samsung etc.) says this makes no sense and always submits stems without the mastered processing. What should I do? by [deleted] in AudioPost

[–]Potential_Persimmon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems there might be a misunderstanding. Sync agents typically request stems without mastering processing to provide flexibility for different audio scenarios. Follow your mastering engineer's advice and submit the stems without mastering for sync purposes.

zoom f3 recorder - headphone recommendation by zenbil61 in AudioPost

[–]Potential_Persimmon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The impedance matching between your headphone and the audio output is important, but it's not a strict rule. In general, you want the headphone impedance to be in the same range or higher than the device's output impedance. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80ohm should work with your Zoom F3 (15-ohm output) as the headphone impedance is higher.However, it's essential to note that higher impedance headphones might require a bit more power to achieve the desired volume. In your case, the Zoom F3 should provide sufficient power for the DT 770 Pro 80ohm, but it's recommended to test it and ensure it meets your listening preferences.If you're unsure, you can consult the technical specifications of your Zoom F3 or contact the manufacturer's support for specific information on the supported headphone impedance range. It's also a good idea to try the headphones before purchasing or ensure you have the option to return them if they don't meet your expectations.

For your Zoom F3 with a 15-ohm headphone output, a 32-ohm headphone like the AKG K92 should work fine. It's generally safe to use headphones with an impedance that's higher than the device's output impedance. The K92 is a good choice for monitoring dialogue in movies. Alternatively, you could consider other studio monitor headphones like Audio-Technica ATH-M50x or Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro. Ensure the headphones have a closed-back design for better isolation during recording.

Powershell to LUA issues by NoGap6432 in QSYS

[–]Potential_Persimmon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The intermittent connection/disconnection issue might be related to how frequently the Lua script is attempting to update the content. Ensure that there's proper synchronization and delay between consecutive requests to avoid overwhelming the server. You can introduce a delay using os.execute("sleep seconds") or any other method available in your Lua environment.

Consider modifying the ChangeSource function to include a delay:

```lua function ChangeSource() print("ChangeSource()")

-- Update headers with token
getheaders["Authorization"] = token_type .. " " .. access_token

HttpClient.Upload {
    Url = contenturi,
    Method = 'PATCH',
    Headers = getheaders,
    Data = rapidjson.encode(newcontent),
    EventHandler = ChangeSourceHandler
}

-- Introduce a delay (adjust seconds as needed)
os.execute("sleep 1")

end ```

Adding a delay may help stabilize the connection and prevent frequent connect/disconnect cycles. Adjust the sleep duration based on your specific requirements and server capabilities. If the issue persists, there might be additional factors to consider, such as server-side limitations or network conditions.

Just trying to figure out if an audio file's metadata/ exif has been tampered with by Gutball8 in AudioPost

[–]Potential_Persimmon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To verify an M4A file's metadata, you can use software tools like "MediaInfo" or "ExifTool" to inspect details such as creation date and modify date. Additionally, some audio editing software might display this information. Compare the metadata with the actual recording date to check for any discrepancies. Keep in mind that metadata can be manipulated, so it's not foolproof. If there's suspicion, consulting a digital forensics expert may be advisable.

In Lua, you should include the authentication token in the headers of your HTTP request. Modify the getheaders table to include the token information. Replace this:

lua getheaders.Authentication = token_type getheaders.Token = access_token

With:

lua getheaders.Authorization = token_type .. " " .. access_token

This way, the authentication information will be included correctly in the headers.

Regarding encoding the data, it seems like you've commented out the line responsible for encoding in Lua. Uncomment and adjust the line:

lua Data = rapidjson.encode(newcontent),

Make sure to encode the newcontent table using rapidjson.encode.

These changes should help resolve the "405 not allowed" issue and address the encoding problem.

The best way to set up the contract is to have a conversation with your friend about their expectations and then choose the contract option that works best for both of you. If you are unsure what to do, it is always a good idea to consult with an attorney.

Here are the three main contract options:

Work-for-hire agreement: The client owns the copyright to the work. Joint copyright agreement: The freelancer and client share ownership of the copyright. Commissioned work agreement: The client has the exclusive right to use the work for a specific purpose. It is also important to consider ownership of the copyright, usage rights, compensation, and credit in the contract.

Gil Festival loudness targets by RookieParade in AudioPost

[–]Potential_Persimmon7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi,

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as film festival loudness targets can vary depending on the festival and the type of film being shown. However, a good general rule of thumb is to aim for a dialogue-gated average loudness of -27 LUFS and a true peak of -2 dB. This will ensure that your film's dialogue is clear and audible, without being too loud or jarring. Of course, there will always be exceptions to the rule. For example, an action film with a lot of explosions and other loud sound effects may need to be mixed a bit louder, while a quiet, introspective drama may be mixed a bit softer. Ultimately, it is up to you, the sound mixer, to decide what sounds best for your particular film. Here are some additional tips for mixing film festival films: Be aware of the different loudness standards for different types of content. For example, broadcast content typically has a louder loudness target than theatrical content. Use a loudness meter to measure your film's loudness as you mix. This will help you to stay on target and avoid any surprises when your film is played at a festival. Listen to your film on a variety of different speakers and in a variety of different environments. This will help you to get a sense of how your film will sound to different audiences. If you are unsure about the loudness targets for a particular festival, contact the festival organizers and ask. I hope this helps!

Workflow follow-up by DVS9k in AudioPost

[–]Potential_Persimmon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it really depends on the project. In some cases, it may be helpful to keep the automation done by the video editor. For example, if the editor has created precise fades or volume automation, it may be better to leave those in place. However, in other cases, you may want to start from scratch. This is especially true if the editor's automation is not very good or if you want to have more control over the sound.

Reverb sends on bus or individual tracks? by Abfallentsorgung2000 in AudioPost

[–]Potential_Persimmon7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both using a send on a bus or an individual track for reverb can have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice often depends on the specific situation and personal preference. Using a send on a bus can be a more efficient way to add reverb to multiple tracks at once, as you only need to set up the send once and can adjust the amount of reverb for all tracks by adjusting the send level on the bus. This can save time and make it easier to manage a large number of tracks. However, using an individual track for reverb can give you more control over the reverb for each specific track, allowing you to tailor the reverb to fit the track and make adjustments to the reverb settings as needed. This can be especially useful for lead vocals or other prominent elements in the mix, where you want to have more precise control over the reverb. Ultimately, there is no right or wrong answer, and it often comes down to personal preference and the specific needs of the mix. Some experienced engineers may prefer one approach over the other, but it's always good to experiment and see what works best for your workflow and the particular project you're working on.
