OK, had a look. so toy tweek the gain until it looks like roughley -12db.
There is a -10 and a -20 so its a educated guestamate or am i missing
something?

"When using DCP-o-Matic, I check if center channel "peak" is around
-12db. Certainly not scientific enough but most of the time it ends
with a normal human bearable audio level. It becomes more difficult
to "predict" with 5.1 audio using phase inversion, as you need all
the channels to get not only a good balance but something
human-understandable…" Gérald Maruccia
I have a 5.1 mix peaking at 0db. Any advise on what to do. I dont
quite understand the 'I check if center channel "peak" is around
-12db', well I understand what it means but dont know to do it in
DCPOMatic.
I would set a gain of -12dB in the "Audio" tab so that the audio in the
DCP will peak at -12dB.
You can see the levels of the audio in your source files (roughly) by
clicking "Show Audio" in the "Audio" tab.
Cheers
