How to mix and master an audio description
Once your text-to-speech file has been generated, it's time for the automated mix
- Go to the Files section
- Open the submenu (3 dots) next to the audio file you just created (type: tts).
- “Automated Mix”
Now you have to set the following:- Mix
- Without volume adjustment – original sound unchanged.
- Ducking (-3db) – slight adjustments if voice can be heard.
- Ducking (-6db) – greater adjustments when voice is heard.
- Ducking (-12db) – strong lowering of the original sound, voice clearly louder.
- Mastering/levelling
- -13 LUFS (very loud, maximum level 0db)
- -16 LUFS (internet, podcast, mobile)
