It adds a bit of "sizzle" to performance and really gives it a more polished sound. The Female Over Setting adds Multi-Band Dynamics to that mix to help the vocals cut through.įor live stage shows I'll use iZotope Ozone to enhance the stereo separation and dynamic range of the live music. Sometimes I'll just use the Male Voice Over setting in Ultimate S Pro which uses Sony EQ and Track Compressor. I use to use the loudness meter from T-Racks but now I use the one in iZotope Insight.įor my Internet tutorials I'll place iZotope Nectar on my narration track to punch it up. In all cases I place a loudness meter on the master audio bus to ensure that the program is within average loudness specified by the station.

If the station has separate limits for Dialog, Music, and SFX, I'll create 3 buses and route the appropriate tracks with Wave Hammer on each of the buses set to limit them individually. I always place Wave Hammer on the master audio bus as a brick wall limiter to make sure I don't exceed the stations maximum limits. If needed I'll use Multi-Band Dynamics to reduce plosives and sibilants. For video work, I mostly use the Sony FX supplied with Vegas Pro even though I have quite a collection of 3rd party plug-ins that I use for music.įor Broadcast work I'll use the Track Compressor to tame individual dialog tracks along with EQ.
