"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

Hi,
well you can also use something like Audacity to get more precision.
You'll need first to extract the sound from your video.
Pass it through Audacity, do your settings, export it in wav 48kHz
24bits pcm a.s.o…
Best regards,
Gérald
