I guess I jumped to conclusions based on differences I heard on that one show, and the fact that other shows that I mentioned had dialnorm at a low setting. I'll try and re-rent some of those to analyze the actual dynamic range - perhaps the dialnorm is low, but they don't use the top 10dB..... sort of like a typical TV delivery.
Mark, how do you deliver shows that broadcast on a range of different TV stations, each having it's own spec? And do you do the stereo downmix yourself for the shows that you originally do in surround? I'm curious about what processes can a track go through before it hits the TV master. (We only deliver stereo here, and all the TV stations in the surrounding countries have nearly identical spec).
