\"Waves<\/p>\n

Waves Audio<\/strong><\/a> is now shipping the Waves Loudness Meter (WLM)<\/strong> plugin. The WLM<\/strong> provides precision loudness measurement and metering for broadcast, movie trailers, games, packaged media and more. Ideal for content creators and post production houses as well as cable head-end facilities, WLM<\/strong> is an affordable, all-in-one cross-platform, multi-format loudness metering software solution.<\/p>\n

Fully compliant with all current ITU, EBU and ATSC specifications, the WLM offers comprehensive Momentary, Short Term, Long Term and True Peak readouts, plus a unique warning and logging system that keeps track of users\u2019 levels and lets them know when they have exceeded them \u2013 or fallen short. WLM offers foreground, dialog and average loudness measurements, and an intelligent dialog sensor detects and measures speech. The plugin features mono, stereo and 5.1 components.<\/p>\n

WLM Controls<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Short Term displays (in LUFS) perceived short term loudness.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Long Term displays (in LUFS) perceived loudness averaged across the program signal.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Range displays (in LU) the overall loudness range across the program signal
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Momentary displays (in LUFS) momentary loudness levels, according to the Momentary scale control settings.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0True Peak displays (in dBTP) inter-sample peaks that do not register in the sample data but may occur during reproduction of the digital signal.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Unders displays the number of times the signal goes below the specified Short Term Min value indicated in the settings panel.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Overs displays the number of times the signal exceeds the specified Short Term Max value indicated in the settings panel.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Measurements Play\/Pause determines if program loudness is registered in the WLM memory for averaging long term loudness range.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Follow Transport determines if measurement starts and stops according to host application transport controls.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Timer indicates the amount of time measurements that have been taken and integrated.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Reset resets the Long Term, Range, Overs and Unders counters and returns the integration timer to 00:00:00.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Method determines the measurement method.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Weighting determines the type of weighting filter.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Channel determines the channels being measured.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Short Term Max determines the maximum short term level.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Short Term Min determines the minimum short term level.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0True Peak Max determines the maximum true peak level.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Target determines the target level.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Custom Pre Filtering provides low pass (LPF) and high pass (HPF) filters that pre-filter the audio prior to loudness measurement.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Momentary Scale determines the scale displayed in the momentary bar meter.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Logging displays CSV logging file options.<\/p>\n
