This week on The Pro Audio Suite, we're diving deep into a topic that sparks endless debate (and confusion) in VO forums everywhere: the noise floor. What does "-74 dB" even mean if you don't know how it was measured? And why are voice actors obsessing over numbers that might not matter?
Join AP, Robbo, George The Tech, and Robert Marshall as they break down:
What noise floor really is (and what it isn't)
Why context, weighting, and window size matter
RMS vs Peak vs LUFS – and why it all depends
How your mic, preamp, plugins, and power can mess with your readings
Whether your studio noise is actually a problem or just sounds nice
We even talk about whether it's OK to use a high-pass filter, what settings to use, and why some mics (looking at you, TLM 103) are just better at hearing ghosts.
If you’ve ever been told “your studio needs to be -60 dB or else,” this episode will save you some sleepless nights.
