beechinour · x · 2026-09-08
A video editor with 11 years of experience says Astra in Premiere Pro mixes audio far better than he can, and shares the full prompt. It specifies professional film-mixing rules: dialogue priority (-18 to -12 dBFS, peaks -6 to -3 dBFS), music ducking and levels, ambience/Foley ranges, master under -1 dBTP, web delivery at -14 to -16 LUFS; plus sound-design principles like dialogue > critical SFX > music > ambience, EQ cleanup, distance-based loudness and reverb, building sound around cuts, preserving quiet moments, and mixing the whole timeline in context rather than clip-by-clip.
