More precisely, the question is: if the spec doesn't give explicit value for average dialog loudness (like Discovery does), but only max. peak and reference/alignment level (like BBC, RTL or any given spec in my region), what do you do with dialog level? Do you just rely on 79dB calibrated monitoring, and mix by ear?
