I recently faced this problem exporting a title sequence for playback in a
cinema and basically winged it...
http://www.tonmeister.ca/main/textbook/intro_to_sound_recordingch11.html#x42-77700010.2
Goes into detail with regard to the alignment level dbFS and actual SPL.
I used -20dBFS = 85dB SPL C weighted which didnt quite work as expected, ended
up
adding around 10dB gain to all tracks.
Maybe someone with more experience will chime in.
