Sound Design- Dynamic Range and Metering
1. What is Dynamic Range? The dynamic range of any recording is defined as the ratio of the loudest peak to the quietest, expressed in decibels (dB) . 2. How does it affect Sound Recording? Sound recordings with a wide dynamic range will have a larger gap between the loudest sound and quiet sound compared to songs with more consistent sound quality . 3. Why is metering important? Metering helps you see the gain of your instruments when you record, the loudness of your tracks when you mix and the dynamic range of your mixes when you master . 4. How can it help us with our sound recording? In mixing and mastering, metering is any useful visual aid that shows us where we stand.
