Built from ground up to hit loudness targets without sacrificing audio quality
aNorm adapts to the program seamlessly in several ways
Dynamic processing is automatically invoked if a certain LRA is exceeded
Normalized and not-normalized content. HD, SD and Mobile
Soften program transitions, even for non-normalized content
Loudness Revolution Continues
aNorm™ Adaptive Loudness Normalization for DB6 is not just A new norm. It's THE new norm for loudness processing. It's a new adaptive approach to loudness normalization, and it's easier to set up and use than any other loudness correction solution. At the same time, it delivers stellar audio quality and keeps you safely within the boundaries of international loudness standards and legislation. aNorm also introduces a whole new way of visualizing pre and post loudness processing: the beautiful Butterfly MeterTM shows you exactly what happens to the program and why.
aNorm Demo Videos
In these demos you can hear and see how aNorm handles different types of centent, tasks and delivery platforms. When looking at the Butterfly Meter, please notice that it shows pre and post loudness processing. The pre-processed signal is on the left side and the processed on the right. Keep an eye on the little blue triangles on either side. They indicate Program Loudness, but bear in mind that most broadcast standards leave a tolerance of +/- 1 LU and that the idea is not to be on-target at all times - it is to hit the target overall, while preserving dynamics and precious audio quality.
Butterfly Meter
The Butterfly Meter is an integrated part of aNorm, displaying your content's pre and post loudness normalization. The graph instantly gives you an overview of how and why the incoming audio is adjusted. In other words, the sheer look of the meter is just as astonishing as it is intuitive and informative.
Next-Generation Metering
The innovative Butterfly Meter brings a whole new dimension to loudness metering, providing an instant overview of your audio before and after loudness normalization as it develops in real time. The Butterfly Meter is not a replacement for our legendary Loudness Radar Meter which shows you loudness over time. In fact, the Butterfly Meter and the Radar Meter complement each other perfectly as they were developed for two different purposes.
