Default Re: Nugen VisLM Settings for Theatrical Commercial and DVD

I was talking about delivering elements to the surround mix.

Broadcast and DVD will both be listened to in a home/office environment and reduced dynamics is appropriate. I'd say mix for -24LKFS and that's all. danijel mentions -27 for reasons that have to do with encoder default settings and other historical minutia. It is one valid approach for DVD but probably not for broadcast. It would take many paragraphs to explain why, and it's all been said here a couple dozen times before. For DVD, if this has a dozen other commercials alongside it, someone needs to even them all out. I cannot answer for every possibility.

Let the surround mixer mix for for theater. This is a commercial anyway so I'm not sure why you're worried about dynamics.
