PSW Staff 06/28/11 09:45 AM, 0 CommentsFor the past two years, pro audio and broadcasting has been moving away from peak level normalization and towards new, loudness-based solutions.

The first version of BS.1770 relied on ambiguous speech detection, which can have unexpected consequences trying to control the level of commercials or programs of certain genres. The improved 1770-2 recommendation incorporates a clever relative gate, making the measurement well-defined and practical… View this story
