The Complete Sync Readiness Guide
What happens inside the 3-second supervisor audition window. Why commercial loudness wars kill film placements, how automated broadcast ingest checks reject clipped stems, and exact stem bounce requirements.
• The mandatory 5-piece delivery stem architecture
Metadata Architecture
Lossless WAV Metadata Guide: Dual RIFF & ID3
Why standard MP3 tags vanish inside video editing timelines. How assistant editors parse RIFF LIST INFO in Avid and Premiere bins, why DISCO.ac requires ID3v2.3 inside WAVs, and how to write both simultaneously.
• DISCO.ac ID3v2.3: TBPM, TKEY, TSRC, and TXXX frames
• Broadcast Wave Format bext chunk compliance
Acoustic DSP Research
Sub-Bass DSP Heuristics: Why 68 Hz Matters
How standard 150–200 Hz frequency bins cause AI classifiers to misidentify acoustic folk guitars as Trap 808s. The mathematical proof behind Airtight Audio's strict 68 Hz sub-bass boundary and 900 Hz vocal centroid threshold.
Why mastering for Spotify at -7 LUFS destroys your chances of TV placements. The engineering manual for 4-band linear-phase dynamics, True Peak lookahead limiting, and dialogue pocket preservation.
How five-figure licensing deals die in under 15 minutes due to missing IPI numbers, unverified co-writer splits, or orphaned contacts. The definitive metadata manual for composers, rights holders, and publishers.
Interactive pre-flight checklist used by professional sync agencies. Audit your cues across loudness gates, True Peak ceilings, dual WAV metadata chunks, and split verification before pitching to supervisors.
