@Randy Wink Great job šŸ‘
Volume for Trailer Libraries
Hi, everyone. A question for those who work for music libraries. What amount of LUFS do trailer libraries require? Streaming services ask for -14-12, just like YouTube, but analyzing tracks on Extreme Music, for example, you can see that they're mostly -8-6 and sometimes even higher. Do libraries have any volume requirements?

@Alex Pfeffer thank's!
Panning tuts?
Does anyone have any good tutorials for panning with orchestral elements? I cant find anything for trailer music for some reason..

Orchestral libraries are often already panned and sound in the desired space, so you have to be very careful with this. You can always go to YouTube and see how the orchestra is positioned on stage or simply Google the musicians' seating arrangements. In my opinion, this is the best option.

@Lex Windle Low frequencies, such as bass guitar, are centered 99% of the time. This is true, as the low frequencies themselves significantly drag down the panorama of the entire track. In a pure symphony orchestra, things are a little different: the musicians' positioning, proper arrangement, and hall reverb compensate for this. Guitars (if we're talking about rock chords) are often written in doubles and spread left and right across the ears. Solo guitars are usually centered. As for synthesizers, it all depends on their part and arrangement; there are no specific rules. Low pulses are centered, while high pulses can wander across the ears. The parts and ranges of synths are also often quite wide in themselves. Everything depends greatly on the arrangement and what exactly each instrument is playing. I would recommend taking different references, listening, and analyzing. I always use one rule: the lower the instrument sounds, the less it can be panned. What libraries do you use for orchestration? Mine are all pre-panned 99% of the time.
Using high quality reference audio for mixing?
Hey everyone, quick reference question: What track do you use as a general reference audio file? ChatGPT is saying something like Audiomachine's 'Guardians at the Gate' is a good overall reference for various reasons. I was just looking for something that works for MOST mixes to include in my template to occassionally make sure im not WAY off on my mixes. Also was told I should NOT rip audio off youtube as it has issues and is not a good reflection of the original sound. Thoughts on what to use, and where to get a good quality file (wav?)?

As I've noticed, most trailer tracks have a very specific high-frequency sound and are similar in sound to each other. I get references from the libraries themselves; they often allow you to download wav or mp3 files, for example, Gothic Storm or Extrememusic.

@Chris Baedorf If you download music from YouTube using third-party software, rather than directly recording the audio output from your sound card into DAW, then in most cases you'll get heavily cut high frequencies starting at 16 kHz, which is what the analyzer shows.

Great interview, thanks for sharing. It's certainly sad to hear that the industry is oversaturated, and that even giants like Epic Score don't know what's next. It's a bit demotivating, especially when you're just trying to get started and make money, investing a ton of time into your development.
