Reference Tone
Craig Howard (Shooter) of Shooter Film Company in Auckland, New
Zealand, sent me an 1KHz tone, -18db, referenced to 0db on the mixer ( 18dB_Tone.wav )
This file placed on a timeline audio track should show -18dB on the
meter with volume sliders set at 0dB. The zipped file size is
469KB
According to Craig:
This file will be useful to Premiere users ( and others) when a standard
digital audio reference level is required as in outputting a broadcast dubb or
sending media to a recording studio where their reference is -18db.
The
professional broadcast and recording industry seems to use -18db (or -20db) as
digital audio reference. Premiere Pro & Matrox generated tones are -12dB and
-6db respectively.
In a Premiere Pro generated Bars and Tone clip - unlink media, delete
audio and replace with -18db wav when this is required.
Tip: Export a Bars and Tone clip with this
set up and save it for future use. |
