I am looking for some advice. The studio I work at recently acquired an LM100 for a new show we're doing. I've just started my first mix with it and it's not fun. I am wondering if anybody who has experience with this box has any tips on let's say "streamlining" the process of mixing with it.
I have to keep the dialogue between -26 and -28 and it just seems like it's taking a long time.
Thanks in advance. |
I posted a similar thread a while back;
Anyone have experience mixing while adhering to specs monitored by the Dolby LM 100?
Garret's advice from that thread worked a treat for me (
especially the tip on using the C4!);

Its important not to go above a 23 if possible at your loudest dialogue (a scream or whatever). Mix to a VU meter and keep the dialogue from -7 to -3. Your absolute max for the mix has now been reduced to 0VU (it was +3 previously). I also run a C4 multiband on the Dial Bus which compresses some mids and I find that this lets me mix the dialogue a little louder as it kind of tricks the LM100. The dialogue intelligence is obviously more sensitive at these frequencys so reducing them slightly gives you a chance to mix it a tad louder.
I recommend getting the Discovery handbook as it has a lot of good info in it.
Hope this helps some
