TC Electronic has released v1.4 of its LM2 (stereo) and LM6 (multichannel) Loudness Radar Meter plug-ins, adding compliance with the 2013 revision of the ATSC A/85 broadcast standard that is mandatory for US broadcasters.
‘The new revision of the ATSC A/85 standard integrates the latest revision of the international ITU BS.1770-3 standard, which is of great importance in the efforts to make audio loudness more transparent even across national borders,’ says Thomas Lund, TC Electronic CTO for Broadcast & Production. ‘So it was a high priority for us to make our loudness meters compliant with this new development as we constantly work towards making audio experiences better no matter where you happen to be located.’
Apart from the ATSC A/85 2013 compliance, the free update brings improved support for Pro Tools 11.
‘Measuring loudness becomes increasingly important, and every day more and more producers realise that they will benefit greatly from measuring the audio loudness of their projects,’ adds Thomas Valter, TC Electronic VP of Business Management. ‘Therefore, it is important for us to always keep up with the latest DAW developments, making sure that we support first-movers, who port quickly to the latest incarnations of Pro Tools, Logic, Nuendo, Media Composer etc.’
