Podcast Loudness Processing Workflow …
Below is Elixir by Flux. This is an ITU-R BS.1770/EBU R128 compliant multichannel True Peak Limiter. It’s just one of the tools available that can be used in the workflow described below. In this post I also mention the ISL True Peak Limiter by Nugen Audio. If you have any questions about these to
Loudness Meter Descriptors …
In the recent article published on Current.org “Working Group Nears Standard for Audio Levels in PRSS Content”, the author states: “Working group members believe that one solution may lie in promoting the use of Loudness Meters, which offer more precision by measuring audio levels numerically.
Podcast Loudness: Mono vs. Stereo Perception …
Consider the following scenario: Two copies of an audio file. File 1 is Stereo, Loudness Normalized to -16.0 LUFS. File 2 is Mono, also Loudness Normalized to -16.0 LUFS. Passing both files through a Loudness Meter confirms equal numerical Program Loudness. However the numbers do not reflect an obvi
Quantifying Podcast Audio Dynamics
I’ve discussed the reasons why there is a need for revised Loudness Standards for Internet and Mobile audio distribution. Problematic (noisy) consumption environments and possible device gain deficiencies justify an elevated Integrated Loudness target resulting in audio that is perceptually louder
AES “Recommendation for Loudness of Audio Streaming & Network File Playback.”
I’d like to share my observations and views on the recently published AES Technical Document AES TD1004.1.15-10 that specifics best practices forLoudness of Audio Streaming and Network File Playback. The document is a collection of Loudness processing guidelines for diverse platform dependent mediLoudness Measurements and Silence
Consider this: Two extended segments of audio, Loudness Normalized (or mixed in real time) to the same Integrated Loudness Target. Segment (A) is fairly consistent, with a very limited amount of intermittent silence gaps. Segment (B) is far less consistent, due to a multitude of intermittent silence
