Will It Go to Eleven ?
by Andrew McCaskey
Listener Request: More Volume
Michael P writes: “Andy-
First, let me thank you for your efforts in the ongoing production of SDRNews. As a long-time listener (back when you used to include music) and really enjoy listening to your podcast.
I have noticed lately, however, that the audio level of the recording is a bit low. I can understand that being the case with your travel studio as that probably requires less-than-ideal conditions, but with your home studio, I often have to turn up my stereo or headphones which results in me having to quickly turn them back down when I switch to a different podcast (often Todd’s GNC) or song.
If there are technical (or personal) reasons for producing it as you do, please don’t worry, it isn’t a big deal. I just wanted to make sure you got the feedback in case you were unaware.
Take care and I look forward to tomorrow’s episode.
Here’s the reply:
Thanks for the report. I am producing now on ProTools LE using their bridge meter and trying to peak at -6dbm RMS. On the road I do not have a hardware compressor, where I do have that in the audio chain in the home studio. There are also different microphones involved that may change the sound levels. Conversely the recorder that I have been using on the road actually is running pretty close to flat-topping or clipping, while the studio is well within the linear range.
Let me change the target to -3dbm and hit the compressor a bit harder, and see if that helps the next few days.
So that’s what’s going on: Please let me know – Contact SDRNews .
