When it comes to editing an audio track for an animation/video/song/etc..., what equipment and/or settings do you use to determine when it is loud, quiet, or moderate?
For example when I'm sound editing I usually wear a headset and have my laptop volume set to 25%. Setting the volume at 25% without a headset, the audio would probably be too loud or too quiet since the surface the laptop is set on becomes a factor and the surrounding environment is more audible. Based on that, when I'm trying to create balance between voices, ambience, music, etc it is solely based on the 25%.
When it comes to differentiating between loud, quiet, and moderate I usually play it by ear. If I were more knowledgeable about this subject I'd probably talk in terms of decibels(dB) and things of that nature, but I'm not going to pretend I am. Which brings up another question...
What do you set your computer volume to when your listening to an animation/video/song/etc...?
I usually have my volume set between 30% - 60%.
When it comes to fanime, I feel like they're aiming towards 105 decibels if not higher as a precaution they get their own volume presets.
25% - 35% for the loud ones
55% - 75% for the quiet ones
