Nevermind.
I've finished mixing the film, send it off to the editor tomorrow morning. Hopefully he'll like it. I've tested it on a couple of speaker systems, tweaked the bass a bit more (my stereo speakers don't have much low end response, but my 5.1 sub shouted at me to cut down the bass! so I have done).
I think dynamically speaking it sounds good. As a documentary style film, it's a lot a talking and not much action.
A couple of times I enhanced the mono sound effects with a short delay (about 28ms) for a better stereo effect, and the used MS (mid-side) techniques to widen the stereo image a touch. Tried to restore the bad audio -removing clicks, hiss, hum, buzz etc but in some parts I couldn't do anything.
I normalised the entire film to -1dB, which should be loud enough. I orignally thought I was working to -10dB, but that's for television, and apparently film has full use of the dynamic range? If the test DVD is too loud or distorts or whatever, i'll address them when they happen, otherwise job done. I'll post when the film is live!
Next? Any offers? Want your film/video/music mixed?
