Nice succinct description, Dave.
It was a red letter day for me when Avid added RTAS effects.
Careful use of a compressor/limiter as described below makes a tremendous difference in the dialog quality and can save hours of rubberbanding or manual clip gain adjustments.
You still have to use your ears, but mixing dialog becomes much easier, and mixing music under dialog is easier with consistent dialog levels.

I am a big fan of the track effects. I usually put a compressor/limiter on my narration and dialogue tracks, and it allows me to adjust overall levels of clips to within a few db, and it smooths them out to a uniform level. Use sparingly to avoid pumping effect and excessive noise. A rule of thumb I learned long ago was to tend more towards a top end limiter, and never push more gain change than 6 or 7 db. It really evens out dialogue and narration and often makes it more legible.Use of Reverb for ring out, and to liven up a close recorded voice over track also works way better as a track effect and is much easier than using audiosuite plugins which have to be rendered.Dave HoganBurbank, CAOn Friday, January 2, 2015 10:47 AM, "Jon Wilkman jon@wilkman.com [Avid-L2]" <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
Lesson learned. Thanks for the info. I was looking for a shortcut to tame wildly uneven levels, and have already made major progress on a standard mix. I'm glad Zelin is less evident on the site these days. He would have taken my head off (and I know him personally).

Like a simple cough, or someone closing a door, or a tiny click. Normalize is not a mixing tool.

It's worth analyzing your clip to see if there is any point where there's a peak that is significantly higher than the majority of the rest of the clip
