NuGen Audio's VisLM loudness meter
Any one have experience with or thoughts about this meter plug? Seems pro enough, though no Dialog Intelligence, obviously. Wondering if that's still a crucial thing, though.

You should look into this one also:
http://www.vsonics.com/vmeters.php I've seen an early version and it looks pretty good. Lots of flexibility, lots of meter types. BTW, I don't think "dialog intelligence" is at all import anymore. It's day has past. Gating based on level, such as recommended in the EBU R128 document, IS important. Vmeters does not have it yet, nor do most others currently on the market, but the devoloper has indicated it is coming in an update. Vmeters seems to have 'most everything else. The version I saw matched LKFS readings exactly to my LM5D and LM100. I have not checked the latest version, though. I will soon. ps, I haven't tried nugenaudio's, I just wanted to point out a new option |

VSonics look pretty cool. the Price is right thats for sure. I was just looking at the dolby MM2 its $900 or $750 On Ebay. I'm not sure what this package has that the dolby does but I think it will work for my needs.

Re: NuGen Audio's VisLM loudness meter
would you guys be confident laying down a dolby E stream with a dial norm set by one of these meters? do they match exactly?

Hi
Before downloading the demo, 1 question: can the VSonics be configured to show 1 decimal after the numerical loudness readout? I think it's important when using it in a mix situation. Thanks |
Re: NuGen Audio's VisLM loudness meter
I have read the ATSC A85 loudness standard that is now law in US and don't recall any mention of dialogue intelligence. only -24lkfs +/-2 infinite. It seems in the Us at least dolby is not the king of broadcast loudness meters anymore:D

Re: NuGen Audio's VisLM loudness meter
I can vouch for the Nugen version - it rocks and does much more (has european flavours too) than the other one, it also has much planned in the pipeline - such as offline file reading. It does lots of nice fancy graphing too - that will soon follow the PT timeline
Hi Tom - dialnorm is dead. Sky specs will be LKFS -23 (new version about to be published soon) as per ploud's recommendation. So that will apply to Nat Geo in the UK too as they TX on that platform. Yes I would trust them for a dolby E layback, just as I trust Neyrinck with his encode and decode. Good software is great! cheers |

Re: NuGen Audio's VisLM loudness meter
can it read files - or do you have to play your mix through?
