Loudness Explained® TUTORiAL

SYNTHiC4TE | Feb 08 2019 | 1.23 GB

Understanding loudness gives you an edge when mixing, mastering, or just preparing your tracks and songs for further processing or release. See why with these tutorials! Adam welcomes you and starts with why loudness is important to understand, and then explores perceived loudness, normalization, and the consequences for playback dynamic range when applying these processes. Then learn all about peak normalization and limiting, and the important to note consequential loudness vs dynamic range tradeoff. Throughout the rest of the series you’ll learn highly useful topics and techniques such as converting audio to MP3 & AAC formats, playback headroom, how loud should you make your track, measuring loudness with both LUFS and RMS, loudness matching, what exactly you should compare to your loudness to and what workflow is best to use, advanced limiting concepts, true peak limiting, Fletcher Munson Curves, DC Offset, what affects loudness and so much more.

Understanding Loudness & Metering

SYNTHiC4TE | Nov 12 2018 | 1.55 GB

We’ve all heard of the ‘Loudness Wars’ that can be traced back to the introduction of the compact disc, pushing the digital limit with the belief that customers preferred louder-sounding CDs. In today’s world, however, producers are faced with restrictions placed on their music by different online platforms such as Spotify, YouTube, Tidal etc. Over these 12 videos, Kirk looks at de-mystifying some of the terminology used, shedding light on what they mean, how different levels are calculated and demonstrates some of the tools on offer to help get our tracks to optimum levels without being affected by online platform restrictions. Using real-world examples you’ll not only get to grips with acronyms such as LUFS, PLR, RMS and K-Metering but after watching this detailed course, you’ll also be armed with the knowledge and tools to make sure your track is getting played and heard the way you intended.

SLM2 v1.3.1 WiN

(Win32/64; AAX*, RTAS, VST3, VST)

SLM2 is a smart stereo loudness maximizer including “analog spice” and 16x over-sampling. The goal of the design was to maximize the loudness of the audio signal while maintaining transparency. The SLM2 DSP analyses every sample of the incoming stereo signal within a defined time frame and calculates the optimal volume increase. This guarantees maximum possible transparency. The overall loudness can be further increased by the following, optional clipper stage. Signal aliasing can be reduced by enabling over-sampling.

Gainrider 2 is a (vocal-) gain riding tool which gives fully control over the gain riding process. GainRider 2 is the successor of GainRider, our very popular gain riding popular. It offers more ride algorithms and reduces plugin delay.

Maximal v2.1.2 MAC

Kleen | 02.03.2018 | OSX: 5.1 MB

Loudness Maximizer / Brickwall Peak Limiter

Maximal 2 is a loudness maximiser, featuring an advanced lookahead peak limiter and analogue modelled saturation. The multi-stage limiter section features next-level lookahead, automatic makeup gain, and adaptive and responsive release. This plugin will smoothly limit any peaks in the audio, and automatically increase the overall level. The analogue modelled tape and tube saturation modes encompass all the best parts of the analogue world, without all the bad parts – such as high-frequency roll-off, hiss, wow and flutter. Using our adaptive release technology, you can simply tell Maximal 2 whether you want the limiter to be fast and loud, or slow and transparent, and it will do what’s needed inside. You can use Maximal 2 to catch rampant peaks in an audio recording, or you can use it to make your track phat and loud – it’s up to you how you push it.
