What's changed in my workflow is that I now have to start by getting the dialog to satisfy the LM100, before I get into the fx and music. It takes more time, and you would be well advised to playdown just your dialog edit thru the LM100 by itself to see if your longterm dialnorm will pass before you get into working on the rest of the track. Getting verite docs to work is tough--and I agree that the higher the required dialnorm (given the same peak levels) the flatter the mix gets--more like radio--w/ not much dynamic range. Everything we do is thru the LM100 now--since sooner or later everything we do MIGHT end up being broadcast and most networks have adopted he dialnorm/LM100 standard.
