What is Broadcast Audio?


Recommended Posts

It's highly subjective but if the track sonically sounds like any other track broadcast:ed, it's the same.

 

Anyone with a brain could get that quality with digital audio workstations; I think you need to work a little bit with dump techniques to make the sound bad. A lot of of this had to do with people trying to sell songs done with Fostex 4-track cassette recorders and so on.

Unless the OP specifies what he means with Talk About Broadcast Audio, we're all just guessing.

Whether he wants Broadcast Ready (which means squashed to death so it sounds as shitty as all the other stuff on the radio) or Audio Used In Broadcast (which is more like Audio Post Production for Film, Television and, seldomly, Radio and thus implies 48kHz sample rate, specific reference levels (i.e. not blasting at digital full scale, but blasting nonetheless), mono-compatibility, multichannel mixing and so on) will determine where this discussion can go.

It seems i am asleep while you guys are awake (i now live in Indonesia.. i should probably update my profile) so i apologize for not answering until now.

 

I am indeed talking about fuzzfilth's latter mentioned Broadcast Audio = audio post production for Film/Television etc...

I did some research and it seems it is all about having a -6dB peak mix for film and a - 12dB peak mix for TV.

Am i far off here or??
