New loudness meter TC LM5
http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=6017
Looks nice!! from the news site: "If dialog level is considered important, LM5D may be used to measure regular dialog like, for instance, Dolby LM100, while adding running status and ProTools integration." I'm a bit skeptical about this sentence, I don't think it will be able to replace the LM100, unless they licenced the algorithm from dolby... |

Re: New loudness meter TC LM5
I think TC's approach is slightly more consistent with what I hear than the LM100's. When it is specified in one of my deliverables, I'll really pay attention. Until then, though, no money from me. There is too much emphasis on metering that does not reflect what we are hearing.

Re: New loudness meter TC LM5
Have you seen the price?
That's really expensive. Might as well buy the Dolby hardware box. Maybe this will eb an incentive for dolby to make a plug-in. |

Re: New loudness meter TC LM5
"The angular, color-coded display makes it easy for an editor to balance audio visually, and to see when level falls below or exceeds the end-listener’s dynamic range tolerance"
I guess I don't have to wear hearing protectors when going to the gun range anymore. Who needs ears when you can balance audio visually?!!!!

Re: New loudness meter TC LM5
This is nothing new. TC has been showing captures of what this meter does within PowerPoint presentations at AES for the last few years. When TC and Dolby discuss loudness at an AES panel, it gets a little hot.
Depending on when it becomes publicly available, they may beat Dolby to the punch for integrating ITU BS.1770 ballistics into a meter. Last I heard it wasn't publicly available as an update for the LM100 yet.

Re: New loudness meter TC LM5
It's supposed that the LM100 will support BS.1770 in the future, at least according to this article:
http://www.dolby.com/about/news_even...7_vol8no2.html But Dolby have the advantage that they have convinced the major TV networks that their "Dialog intelligence" algorithm better relates to loudness comfort than merely Leq(A) or BS.1770 for that matter.. |
