Hi guys, Looks like I might be once again working in broadcast in the not too distant future (Mostly SDI video toys rather then audio this time), so I thought I had better re up, life happened as it so often does....
Fred, would you take a patch to make the normalization use the R.128 loudness estimation method rather then the rather simple minded measure it uses at present, it should make for much more even loudness across cuts? The spec does not look hard to implement, but it would really benefit from the meter having a Loudness unit mode as well as VU. This would among other things make for much better leveling between compressed music and speech cuts. I think I can cook up a measurement code that can be included in the source so removing the library dependencies issue. I figure an extra entry in the cuts table with the computed LU value, and probably a target level in the groups table so that different things can be trimmed to slightly different average loudness levels (Naughty, but someone is going to want to go there).
