Loudness Logging and Analyzing
Certain devices like the Kaleido‑Solo are capable of monitoring the loudness of audio streams. The data generated from monitoring may be sent to an Application Server where iControl’s Loudness Logger can record and archive this stream of loudness data to a dedicated, external drive.
NOTE: Logging loudness data necessarily involves an external drive in a NAS (network attached storage) environment because loudness log files can grow rapidly in size and number. The storage capacity of an Application Server is inadequate for this purpose. |
After (or even during) the logging of loudness data, iControl’s Audio Loudness Analyzer can plot a log file’s data, making it visible in units of LUFS (EBU) or LKFS (A85) over the time period covered by the file. Audio Loudness Analyzer allows you to zoom into the data plot as well, effectively taking a subset of the time frame analyzed while increasing data granularity in the chart.
With Audio Loudness Analyzer, you may edit analysis parameters as well as showing or hiding certain data plots (e.g. choosing to show or hide the DIALNORM and Short-term Momentary 1 data plots on the chart).
