What normalization levels do folks here use?
I just discovered that one client of mine nornmalizes everything to -13 dB
while another client normalizes to -18 dB.

I Always used the default -13dB and it just works fine.

Personally I don't normalize at all in Rivendell but use r128gain and
some scripts to get everything lined up at -23 LUFS coming into RD.
When I've been using RD's inbuilt normalization I usually stick to the
default of -13 dB.

Hi,
While I have not tried this in Virtualbox, it sounds like an issue I ran
into with an Intel sound chipset on Ubuntu running on a real computer -
actual hardware.
Have a look at the solution I eventually found and see if it works for
you:
Just an observation,
Although I've been using the default -13 dB normalization, I always adjust
the level based on the VU and my own ears.
I think Rivendell uses the peaks values to normalize and it is valid to
avoid distortion, but remember that nowaday's recordings have almost no
dinamic range
Yeah, the peak normalization in RD is completely fine for avoiding
clipping, but you really need a manual operator to keep an eye (well,
ear, technically) on loudness levels.
Mostly I'm using Rivendell in heavily unattended situations, hence
normalizing to loudness with a peak based clip

I'd expect almost as many answers, and as many reasons, as there
are subscribers to the list !

Hello!
I run a Rivendell server on the domain www.wrrj.org but unfortunately it is
a domain with a dynamic (changing) IP address. Is there any way I can use
wrrj.org in my hosts settings in rdadmin instead of constantly trying to
change the IP address to the correct one? ...or at least have a
If your domain is pointing at a dynamic IP that's your real problem. In
this day and age there is absolutely zero reason for this to be the case
- static IP addresses are standard on any host in the entire world, and
have been for decades.
Not only Rivendell will be encounting problems if
I am moving to a college campus so in no way can I host Rivendell on my
campus computer, which was my original intention. Their policies forbid
that. So the setup is like this:

What latency are you referring to exactly? If you're referring to latency
caused by live audio going from the client to the rivendell server, that
will not be an issue for I'll be using Skype for live shows.
I'll see what I can do but how exactly would I set up a tunnel system on a
dynamic IP
You may also wish to check wether you residential ISP permits running a
server on the connection anyway, around here most strictly forbid it, at
least in the contracts, not sure how aggressively they enforce it. Also
typically in the agreements is an up to bandwidth but no gaurantee of
any

Data traffic in general between the two RD systems. Remote RML calls come to
mind immediately.

Changing soundcard didn't solve anything. Nor did applying rate 44100

Any other suggestions will be appreciated. I really think that running

Windows, if they want to adjust some voicetracks and

Thanks but it appears Rivendell doesn't actually save in mp2 on that
setting but instead saves as a 256kbps wav file (NOT converted as an mp2
because according to ffmpeg mp2 cannot be converted in a bitrate of
256kbps).
Is this true that it really isn't mp2 but actually just a lower bitrate wav?

I've never heard of a 256 kbps wav file. Wav is a PCM lossless format, and
is thus always has a bitrate = sampling frequency * bit depth * channels.
For CD quality (44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo) this works out to 1411.2 kbps. I
know of no standard combination of the previously mentioned

It's both. It's MPEG I Layer 2 data (popularly, and misleadingly, known as
'MP2'), in a Broadcast Wave File container.
WAV is a file container
Just make sure if you use OpenVPN you run it in UDP mode, since
otherwise the latency is an absolute killer for most usage. Of course,
this implies you've got a fairly reliable link to run it down, since it
won't tolerate packet loss nicely.

Interesting because my computer still says the audio is in x-wav format.
But maybe it's just basing that off of metadata and not actually looking at
the audio file itself.

So if ffmpeg is saying 256kbps is not a supported bitrate for mp2 how do I
convert my wavs to 256kbps mp2?

WAV is a file container format, not an audio encoding scheme.
If memory serves, WAV was originally nothing more
Same here, I do not normalise to a peak level. I amply or change the
gain of a track based on VU and ears, so everything coming out is a
reasonable consistent mix at segue time.
I use -16dBFS for 0VU (+4dBu) using a 1KHz sinewave. I don't live record
to Rivendell and since the cheaper
Just watch your syntax when you do your ST! commands. I've screwed up my
air chain before by not making sure my numbers are in the right places.
Rivendell will see your individual livewire streams/sources/multicast IP
group as their respective channel numbers when it's acting as a switcher.
