SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires ffmpeg, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps AI agents turn dialogue, music, ambience, and sound effects into clear, balanced, technically compliant audio deliverables without relying on loudness normalization alone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mixing and Mastering Direction: Plan source repair, dialogue intelligibility, music balance, SFX control, EQ, compression, reverb, limiting, and loudness decisions.
  • Delivery and Accessibility Guidance: Select client, broadcaster, or platform targets; prepare stems and M&E versions; protect speech clarity; and apply stereo, mono, surround, and accessibility checks.
  • Deterministic QA: Measure integrated loudness, true peak, loudness range, and target compliance with the bundled FFmpeg-based measurement tool, then validate encoded outputs and playback translation.
  • Use Case: Create and QA a 60-second social ad with AI narration, generated music, UI clicks, and a logo sting, including a labeled loudness heuristic, intelligibility checks, stems, and final delivery notes.

Quick Start

Use the audio-mixing-mastering skill to mix and QA the attached video, prioritizing dialogue intelligibility, documenting the applicable delivery target, measuring the final audio, and preparing any required stems.

Frequently Asked Questions about audio-mixing-mastering

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I measure true peak and integrated loudness for broadcast delivery?▼

You can measure true peak and integrated loudness using the bundled FFmpeg-based tool, which calculates loudness range and validates target compliance for encoded media playback outputs.

What's the best way to improve dialogue intelligibility in AI generated videos?▼

Improve dialogue intelligibility by directing source repair, EQ, compression, and music balance to prioritize speech clarity and protect it during the mixing and mastering workflow.

Can I use FFmpeg to validate audio loudness for platform compliance?▼

Yes, FFmpeg validates audio loudness for platform compliance by measuring integrated loudness, true peak, and loudness range against specific client, broadcaster, or streaming platform targets.

How do I prepare stems and M&E versions for localization delivery?▼

Prepare stems and M&E versions for localization by preserving reversible source and stem workflows, then applying stereo, mono, surround, and accessibility checks before final delivery.

Does audio mastering work for social ads and podcast audio?▼

Audio mastering works for social ads, podcasts, and explainers by balancing dialogue, music, ambience, and SFX while validating encoded media and playback translation compatibility.

When should I not use loudness normalization alone for audio mixing?▼

Avoid loudness normalization alone when mixing requires source repair, dialogue intelligibility, SFX control, reverb, and true peak limiting to achieve clear, technically compliant playback.
