    I think I'm becoming crazy soon. :snuffy:
    I have an audioclip and have to set its LUFS, „Loudness Units relative to Full Scale“ to a value of -23LUFS.
    I have tried NuGen VisLM, I tried Audiocation Loudness Meter VST, I've tried Adobe Audition (TC Electronic Loudness Radar)..The problem is, I'm really much to stupid to understand how to use them. Isn't there any easy tool that analyses an audio clip and then export it at an fixed level like -23LUFS (what seems to be a kind of standard value) :dunno:

    Any suggestions

    SOLVED!

    I just used this tutorial for Adobe Audition and worked perfectly!

    @ Lukehh,


    Aaarghh... it seems that I arrive too late ! :snuffy: :rofl:

    However, you can perhaps also find your happiness with the following FREE Plugin (both for PC & MAC OSX) and all the related Info :

    Klangfreund 'LUFS Meter'

    "The LUFS Meter plugin measures loudness similar to the human perception of loudness."


    P.S: Don't hesitate to read the full page with the important Info provided... *yes* :wink:

    Yes..Thanks anyway..But This is also just an analyser and as far as I understood its not even to analyze and pull down the peak level (db)...its a little bit more complicated. But the video clip discribes it very well.

    The video above should show how to batch normalize to n LUFS (but I haven't watched it).

    RX 4 has a new "Loudness module" https://www.izotope.com/en/products/audio-repair/rx/whats-new/

    -23 LUFS seems kinda like a TV standard, ni?

    I don't think there are many of us Audition users here. I like it a lot, and have been using it for years because it looked so much like pro tools, but wasn't as proprietary, back wen Pro Tools only wanted to use their things.. I have the whole Adobe Suite now, "cloud" form. Updates whenever I go online, and a lot of other powerful and fun tools in there, but most of it I don't use. video stuff (Premiere), Photoshop, and Audition, document processing, mostly, but I go look at tutorials for the new things I am trying to learn. Nice to have two monitors when you do that, so you can work the software on one and and watch the other video at same time, nice and big.
