I’ve been trying all kinds of combinations on dialogue for well over a year. My source material consists of recordings made in a large acoustically untreated space with different types of mics (wireless lavs, handheld dynamic mics), inconsistent mic technique, and varying levels of ambient sound. Currently, my workflow involves: (1) Audition’s Speech Volume Leveler (“Careful” setting); (2) serial passes using Audition’s Tube-modeled Compressor; (3) a gentle pass in Hush (31%); (4) import into a Reaper track, where I use a de-esser, EQ (WavesFactory Equalizer), some mild compression (usually with Waves RVox and/or TDR Kotelnikov; and (4) judicious use of a compressor and limiter on the Master track (both Sonible). Perhaps the best results so far.
Thanks Curtis, I loved this. Made me excited for the audiobook I’ve been procrastinating editing for the longest time. Thanks. The Volt 276 sounds interesting too. Must be pretty good if you recorded your course with it! Did you bake in the compression to your recording, tweaking the audio in post as well? Thanks again..Andrew 😊
thanks for the session...

Had a talk about this subject yesterday with a Friend of nine, we're both professionals, so this fits in perfectly. Thanks!
