Re: Pro Limiter Analyzer vs. Dolby Media Meter

Earlier versions of DMM had a huge error when measuring 7.1 files...

They've attempted to correct this with the latest version.

There's some kind of fudging going on under the hood for 7.1, I'm...

Re: AC3. I need to record it and decode it...

The AES I/O...

Re: FCC CALM Act

Try Googling for "ATSC a85 2012" and that will lead you to a useful document.

Sorry that I'm not smart enough to post the actual doc here myself.

Re: OMG, PT cannot export multichannel files?

However...

Beware that the channel ordering in the poly-WAV may not be the same as the delivery requirement!

We use a Neyrinck plug-in to create a SMPTE-ordered file which is what a DP600...

Re: 5.1 Interleave order

This is the reason we use Neyrinck's Soundcode for broadcast to create interleaved files suitable for passing to a Dolby DP600.

I'm currently looking at a Turner spec that appears to require a...

Re: German theatrical specs

The Dolby DMU can also measure Leq(m) so if you are mastering at your facility the Dolby Consultant should be equipped to make the measurement for you.

Re: AC3 Encoding in Pro Tools 8.x

A cool feature of Neyrinck's software is that it let's you 'punch' an AC3 file, very useful if you need to fix a short section of a longer mix!
