Description
TC Electronic LM5 Loudness Meter Plug-In Details LM5 displays Instant Loudness, Loudness History and True-Peak level
derived from a new, international standard. LM5 is suitable for use in
music, post production,broadcast and film; and offers a more coherent
way of managing level and avoiding distortion than ancient methods
still used in music production. The most fundamental audio issue of
all – control of loudness – every day makes millions of people around
the world adjust their volume control over and over again. Jumping
levels are caused by fundamentally different mixing and mastering
esthetics in music, film, post and broadcast in combination with
simplistic peak level normalization at various places of the audio
distribution path. TC Electronic’s new LM5 Loudness Radar Meter
offers a cross-genre, cross-platform, and cross-format solution to
standardized, intuitive control of loudness.
LM5 derives statistical information from the ITU-R BS.1770 standard to
visualize instant loudness and loudness history. When production
engineers, journalists and video editors realize the loudness
boundaries they have to stay within, less dynamics processing is
automatically needed during distribution. When processing is required
for delivery to certain platforms, it may furthermore be referenced at
the audio’s Center of Gravity, thereby avoiding washing out differences
between foreground and background element of a mix.
LM5 Loudness
Radar Meter may be used in conjunction with existing PPM and VU meters,
and also greatly increases the usability of Dolby’s LM100 by providing
running status, and a standardized indication of dialog as well as
non-dialog program. The meter is valid for any type of program in mono
and stereo and suitable for use in broadcast, post production, film and
music alike.
