Tuning Audio Processing – an Introduction
During the many years we’ve spent designing, building, installing and
tuning audio processors in all kinds of broadcast facilities there are a
few things that have consistently been proven true. Since this seems
like the perfect place to do it we’d like to share some of them with you
now:
No one at a radio station listens
more critically to it than after the
audio processing is changed.
It can take many weeks or more to
narrow down the perfect sound for a
station - even more for a station in a
major market.
Radio markets are moving targets –
you make a change, ‘they’ make a
change, you make another change,
‘they’ make another change...
Expectations of sound improvement
when changing audio processors will
almost always surpass reality. No one in the station's audience
hears what 'radio people' hear.
Changing to a more modern audio
processor can make the station
sound worse by revealing previously
masked problems in the station’s
audio chain.
There is almost never enough
loudness, bass, or high end.
There is no free lunch –you must
always pick something good to give
up in order to get something that you
want even more.
The most important advice that we can share about setting up audio
processing, particularly new audio processing, is this:
Make small adjustments and listen over a long enough period of time
that you get to hear what your current settings sound like on most
program material (you’ll never have time to hear all).
Resist the temptation to try to fix the processing for the one song that
sounds bad. Instead, try to determine why that cut sounds bad. If it’s
the source material, fix it. If not, then you can work on the processing.
Too many get these processes reversed and spend a lot of time tuning
and tuning and still get nowhere.
