Hello!

Just donated

I don't often engage with online community, bc I'm so analog, but I wanted to share what I've been able to make with FS.org clips!

I'm primarily a filmmaker/animator (www.thevariablespaceart.com/shortfilms) and I'm going to be making more sound collages with visual components for youtube every month! (https://www.youtube.com/@laurenflinner)

I combined my own phone recordings with sound from fs.org under the creative commons 0 license and edited in davinci resolve. I'd love feedback or reactions if you find these tolerable enuf to listen through to the end!

There's a wide variation in volume between the EP tracks.
(sometimes painfully so: when a loud track follows a quiet one).
For YouTube, the target loudness for EACH track is -14LUFS.
The last track on "Sagacity EP" is about 10dB too quiet, which is a lot.

If one of the tracks on a YouTube EP is loud (> -14LUFS) YouTube will turn down the volume on the entire video, [https://youtu.be/rPeNZNARkZE?t=50], making the other tracks too quiet, if they are not all of similar overall volume.

There are free LUFS loudness meters from

Thanks for taking the time to check it out and comment! I appreciate technical feedback esp. if it keeps ppl from listening through.

I'm an experimental maker tho, so I get excited by the things that arise from error...like that's why I edited these both all in a video editor (davinci resolve), so repetitions would misalign bc whole thing would be a bit wonky throughout, so like, I know its all technically "bad" in that way, but levels are unequivocally important. I wish youtube let you reupload vids like vimeo.

I'll pay closer attention to levels in future stuff and thanks again for the info on Youtube!
