lydgjennomgang

Lydgjennomgang is a term used in audio post-production to describe the process of reviewing and assessing all sonic elements of a project to ensure quality, consistency, and alignment with the overall creative vision. It encompasses dialogue, music, sound effects, ambient sounds, and any Foley or ADR work, as well as the balance and spatial placement within the mix.

The review typically focuses on intelligibility and naturalness of dialogue, the realism and consistency of ambient tracks, the appropriateness of musical cues, and the absence of technical issues such as clipping, noise, or unwanted artifacts. It also includes checks for loudness normalization and tonal balance across different scenes and environments. The review may be conducted on multiple playback systems and listening environments to simulate real-world listening.

The process usually involves a structured listening session led by the supervising sound editor or a dedicated reviewer, who notes discrepancies and suggests changes. It often results in an action list for re-recording, re-editing, Foley replacement, or mix adjustments. In professional settings, measurements such as loudness in LUFS and other technical standards may be used to ensure consistency with broadcasting or platform requirements.

Lydgjennomgang is commonly carried out during or after the main post-production phases of film, television, video games, podcasts, and other media projects. Its goal is to deliver a polished, coherent sound experience that supports the storytelling and remains faithful across various listening devices.
