Carsten,
Yes it was -1db, I was going to max of -12db tand this seemed correct but I think I
miinterpreted something.
Yes, you have to read the VU graph properly, it has a range of different parameters and a
single peak level may not give you the full picture.
I usually suggest to create two or three DCPs with different audio levels. You can name
them accordingly, att6 att12, att18 etc. Then try them at the cinema to find a suitable
setting (and ask the cinema for their average fader setting for testing).
When creating multiple DCPs from the same source footage with only the audio settings
changed, DCP-o-matic will recognize that the picture track is not changed, so it will NOT
reencode the image for another 16hrs, but just copy the existing image data and recreate
the audio. That goes much faster.
