March 18 2024, 01:45
NUGEN Audio intends to expand its loudness metering efforts with significant innovations. The company will preview VisLM 3, the forthcoming version of its loudness metering plug-in, at the 2024 NAB Show (Booth SU2051). VisLM has long been the go-to solution for loudness metering and its new features will further benefit loudness workflows for studios, content producers and broadcasters.
 

VisLM is an ideal tool to achieve average loudness harmonization from differing sources, consistently balancing music, dialog and special effects in order to hit specification easily and intuitively. The plugin quickly gained recognition in daily use for audio control quality at source, produce broadcast compliant audio, and preserving quality in submitted materials for streaming platforms, among many other applications. Users praise the faster than real-time loudness analysis, final compliance checks for mixed audio, and integrated True Peak limiting.

Included among the new features in the upcoming VisLM 3 are user-defined program segments suitable for projects that require multiple integrated measurements (such as between ad breaks), support for up to 22.2 channels, stem monitoring and loudness measurement for separate deliverables. 

Nugen also confirmed that new downloadable presets will additionally keep users aware of changing loudness standards without having to wait for a point release update. The software will also incorporate NUGEN’s Jotter functionality, making it possible to include timestamped notes, comments and annotations within a project, along with the reliable tools that have made VisLM an industry standard.

"VisLM 3 will feature new innovations to help broadcast professionals manage loudness requirements in both faster and smarter ways," says Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe, Product Specialist, NUGEN Audio. "Our previews of the plug-in have already been receiving significant attention from colleagues in the industry and we look forward to providing NAB attendees with a behind-the-scenes look at what’s to come later this year."

VisLM offers a full set of international and regional presets, including all common international loudness standards for streaming, TV and film, and can be fully configured for legacy, platform/station-specific or internal specifications. The plug-in also features integrated, short-term and momentary loudness; LRA; dialog LRA and True Peak measurement.
