Hello,
Does anyone have an experience integrating r128gain with rivendell?
Is there an option I'm missing?
No. The option to replace "peak normalization to -xx dB" with "align
level to -yy LUFS" would be great and consistent with broadcasting
practices in europe.
In the meantime, we have to resort to external tools to do that.
My solution is to import audio to rivendell with peak normalization set
at -13dB. All newly imported carts go to a temp group in rdlibrary. Then
i run a php script that scans (using this
https://github.com/jiixyj/libebur128) the loudness of each cut in the
group and writes an appropriate "cut gain" value in rd database so that
every cut has a -23LUFS output level on playout.
Likely the production room.
Rivendell is essentially a play-out system, not a processing
or editing tool.
Artistic affects such as doctoring for the perception of loudness
are properly done well before the finished product is ingested
into the playout system, regardless of what system that may be.
I cannot stress it enough, but R128 "normalization" is not an artistic
effect. It is a norm which only purpose is to avoid overcompressed cuts
to be be favored over dynamic audio ie. end the loudness war.
The only thing it does is define a single unified _perceived_ level for
all program segments (in our case, cuts). It does not change a thing to
the inner dynamics of each cut.
Peak normalization is a thing of the past that has no technical
justification anymore.
