Today we are thrilled to introduce revised parameters for the Adaptive Leveler to move our advanced algorithms out of beta.
The leveler can now run in three modes, which allow detailed Leveler Strength control and also the use of Broadcast Parameters (Max. Loudness Range, Max. Short-term Loudness, Max. Momentary Loudness) to limit the amount of leveling.

When we first introduced our advanced parameters, we used the Maximum Loudness Range (MaxLRA) value to control the strength of our leveler. This gave good results, but it turned out that only pure speech programs give reliable and ...

Following current standards, loudness normalization is applied regardless of the content of a production. Cinematic content, i.e. productions with a high loudness range, can benefit from dialog loudness normalization.
At Auphonic, we are introducing a classifier for automatic speech loudness normalization, and our processing stats now provide level statistics for dialog and music as well as the overall production.

Loudness of Cinematic Content

We have discussed the issue extensively, but it’s still true: getting the levels of your production right is difficult. It’s especially challenging when you work with music, sound effects and ...

Zapier is a tool that allows users to connect and automate services without any coding.
So far, if you wanted to start a new Auphonic production or retrieve the results of a finished production, you had to login to the Auphonic website, connect with one of our external services, or know how to code and use the Auphonic API.
With Zapier, in just a few clicks, you can set up your email account, a Dropbox watch folder, your podcast host, your Twitter account and many more web-based services to interact with Auphonic.

For example, it’s possible to ...

Should I set the loudness target for mono podcasts to -16 LUFS or -19 LUFS?
This seemingly simple question comes up often and is the main topic of this blog post.

We are also introducing the new loudness normalization parameter Dual Mono and we're announcing the move of our Advanced Audio Algorithms to Public Beta!

The Mono Loudness Problem

"If my stereo production is loudness normalized to -16 LUFS, should I use -19 LUFS for mono (3 LU lower)?"
Unfortunately, this simple question is not that easy to answer - it depends on how ...
