Hi Barry and all,
It seems superflous to me to have a "compressor box" in the processor
chain just for commercials when compandering the source audio is much
easier done in the advertizing company's prod room. I believe that's how
it's done here, I can easily tell the compression scheme on each bit of
program audio by ear. Naturally there is peak limiting in the audio and
video transmitter chains to keep withing FCC rules and broadcast
standards but that's not where the real processing is done.
Now if the cable company would get it's act together, their FAMs are so
badly misadjusted it's pitiful! Between peak luminance bloom and bouncy
bouncy audio I go nuts around here but that's hard to tell from my
"normal" condition anyway.
