Audio for DCP - what is best?

Post by BirthdayPony »

Hi all,

I'm very new to the world of film so not very knowledgeable about this stuff.

I am creating a DCP so my short can be screened at a festival.

Does the audio look about the right volume? I ask because at a recent festival I went to (which did the DCP for me), the film was quieter than other films that played.

Please see audio levels graph.

Thanks,

Alex

That's a bit too hot. Unless it is meant to play very loud. I would lower the level by around 3dB. Something around -19/-20 LUFS should work
