![]() ![]() Why didn't digital tv and radio broadcasters take care of it? They could easily have demanded loudness specs for the advertisements. But they have not been correctly applied by the distributors (DVD, BR) and the broadcasters for decades. It does not analyze the problem and it even blames amazingly effective tools, Dialogue normalization and Dynamic Range Control. ![]() I find the connectedmag article very misleading. The mixing engineer can only make suggestions, but if the director is an idiot and wants his action louder than any other action movie (because the story is total garbage and the sound level is used to compensate for that), the engineers need to deliver. ![]() The achievable loudness levels have become absolutely insane.Īnd then the loudness race even entered the theatres. The metadata was not controlling the Decoder correctly.Īdding to the problem is the amazing sound quality of modern clippers, multiband compressors and limiters. With DRC activated and set to heavy! While Dolby Digital downmix specs Rt Lt for RF modulation are 12 dB IIRC. Or Amazon Prime: they seem now to have normalized dialogue levels, but Dolby's DRC set to heavy and the effect on a movie I watched recently? Dialogue dB(A), louder dB(A), loud dialogue but action and music as loud as 90 dB(A). ![]() What has the broadcast and consumer industry been doing? They have ignored dialnorm and even pushed the loudness war. While I agree in principle, that it should not be impossible for the user to deactivate loudness management (if he knows, what he does), I cannot support the conclusions, that dialnorm and DRC was bad.ĭue to the available dynamics of digital audio for movie soundtracks, it is simply necessary to bring the dynamics to a level, that is acceptable for consumation in smaller rooms.ĭolby's engineers have wisely understood this very early and have offered everything necessary, even before the loudness race got out of hand, to avoid all the problems, that have been plagueing the consumer with too loud ads and music and too low dialogue in movies, since. X4400 cannot ignore dialnorm (player Kodi on RasPi - HDMI - TV - Toslink (not ARC!) - AVR Just another test that supports the already found conclusions: ![]()
