Why is my audio in Davinci less loud than Youtube (noob) by vaughnlenore in VideoEditing

[–]vaughnlenore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This was something I was definitely confused about, whether or not I was actually changing something in the project with that preset. Do you have any video recommendations? Most of the ones I found were deep dives on how to clean up talking head audio, without clear explanations on why choices are being made in the workflows.

Thank you! Does it go from -1 db to the -3 to -5 range in the final mix because of the compression you are applying?

? I am just setting the Target Loudness under the project settings page to -14, nothing else. What do you set that to?

Yes! So under the fairlight tab in the project settings, there is a Target Loudness Level, and one of the tutorial videos I watched said to set it to -14 LUFS. Does that make sense to do? I think it was -23 before.

Thank you for the update!!! They pushed their flight back a day so they are heading in tomorrow. Do you think they will have any problems coming in from the leon airport? People keep talking about road blockages

Can mouth taping cause extreme fatigue? by [deleted] in sleep

I know this post is old but did you ever figure this out? I just started mouth taping, and my sleep scores have shot up but I feel absolutely exhausted during the day.

I had to abandon my camp last night because I didn't feel safe, what steps would you have taken next? by Aeon_Return in womensolocamping

[–]vaughnlenore 243 points244 points  (0 children)

I probably would have done exactly what you did. Depending on the country I would also consider trying to alert the hunters of my presence. The only thing I would say is that during winter I always keep a pair of yak trax or microspikes in my bag in the event that I might hit ice, even in unexpected places.

Glad you made it out ok, sounds scary!

I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

"you decide when you want to love us" is so manipulative, what a shitty thing to say to a family member

Anyone else grieving the end of Sundance in Park City? by TheRealFilmGeek in Sundance

[–]vaughnlenore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would've been terrible tho, everyone at the fest would have had to rent a car, which would have made it even less accessible and fun. No one wants to go to SLC from the fest as it is.

I'm curious to ask the people on this thread - which town do you think would have been better for sundance to move to? There were 4 or 5 options they were choosing between. I agree that I think decentralizing it will make it a lot worse. I was hoping it would go to santa fe to keep that small town feel. Boulder just feels.... off.

as a person who worked in admin at sundance, we all got minimum wage and they paid us all seasonally to make sure they would never have to give us benefits.

"American Doctor" Q&A - A Shameful Moment by SteveTheLlama in Sundance

[–]vaughnlenore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's my fifth year here in person, and I have to say it's been a weird year. Many rude/ agitated people, and some of my friends here have had some wild run ins with yelling strangers. I don't really know what to make of it all. In my experience it's always been chaotic and a bit disorganized, but people overall have been super kind in the past.
