Nugen Audio, has developed several new plug-ins intended to help content providers and broadcasters comply with the CALM Act. These products are available in both stereo and 5.1 formats.

The LM-Correct is an integrated, short-term, and true-peak loudness correction for Avid editors. This audio suite plug-in is designed to offer automatic, faster-than-real-time loudness analysis and correction within Avid edit systems, including MediaComposer, Pro Tools and NewsCutter.

The LMB batch-processing loudness correction tool for high-throughput applications is an off-line, file-based loudness analysis and correction program designed for rapid assessment and correction of files for loudness and true-peak content to ITU-R BS. 1770/1, ITU-R BS. 1770-02, and EBU R128-based specifications.

“I’m a TV engineer from the old school, so of course I never read articles about audio. The CALM Act changes that, of course.”

The CALM Act is a reality.

Miscellaneous

The CALM Act (Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation), which was passed by Congress in December 2010, describes in general terms that commercial content should not be any louder than the program material it accompanies.
