Comment on No LUFS regulations are the reason you use subtitles to watch TV – Tom Scott YT (7:58)

Career Audio engineer chiming in here. I would say it’s a combination of the lack of LUFS regulation and improper mixes. IMHO dialogue clarity should be prioritized more than it currently is, or at the very least we should use the center channel in surround sound formats exclusively for dialog to make it easier to adjust(via software and/or or av receivers).

What would be the alternative? You don’t really expect the streaming companies to pay for TWO masters do you!? (/s if it wasn’t obvious)

I don’t really have an alternative, just trying to give my perspective on the issue.

Sorry, /s means sarcastic. If anything I would absolutely expect them to pay for multiple mixes/masters given what’s been said about how people consume it.

Semi sarcastic response to your sarcastic question:
Force tv manufacturers to add a center channel speaker to TVs. There’s more room in 16:9 screens for a center channel than 4:3
