Pro Limiter Analyzer vs. Dolby Media Meter
Been running some tests on True Peak and LUFS reading between the two (both using bs 1770.3)
I keep getting a higher reading for LUFS with DMM - usually by about .3 DB. I've also got a few True Peak mismatches, 1 of them by a full DB On the plus side the time for measurement is about the same but naggingly, the DDM creates new files each time and also consolidates the audio. Any help in why the mismatch? Pro Tools 10.3.8 HD - Mac Mountain Lion

Re: Pro Limiter Analyzer vs. Dolby Media Meter
Have you run EBU test material through each? They may give a clue which is closer to a standard.

Re: Pro Limiter Analyzer vs. Dolby Media Meter
No I hadn't, that's a great idea. Thanks
However, this is R128 material (test material) and the Pro Limiter IS running the BS1770.3 spec, it's not specifically R128 compliant, or at least it's not an option for measuring. Ideally it would have a dropdown for Calm and R128

Re: Pro Limiter Analyzer vs. Dolby Media Meter
Earlier versions of DMM had a huge error when measuring 7.1 files...
They've attempted to correct this with the latest version. There's some kind of fudging going on under the hood for 7.1, I'm told 5.1 "should be accurate". -Doug |

Pro Limiter Analyzer vs. Dolby Media Meter
Buy Nugen - the daddy of loudness meters. Totally reliable.
I don't trust Dolby and their Meters. CPU resource hog too.

So any meter that is BS1770-3 compliant is fine for the most recent R.128 revision. |

Semi-OT: For their Audiosuite-Plugin, DMM and a few other analyzers use render mode instead of analyze, thus creating new files. A serious programming/design flaw !

Re: Pro Limiter Analyzer vs. Dolby Media Meter
Dolby have very kindly contacted me and offered to let me try their newest meter - rather than my let my experience rest with the original Media Meter.
Thank you Dolby. That is customer centric!
