Using the stand-alone
version of LCn
– Install and activate the plug-in as described in
“Installation and authorization” on page 4.
This will also install the stand-alone version of
the plug-in.
– Launch the stand-alone version of the plug-in
and select a file for processing by clicking the
“Choose” button.
– Click the “Analyze & Process” (or “Auto Ana-
lyze & Process”)button.
– If the file is compliant, it will be processed,
and you will find the processed, loudness-
normalized version in the Destination folder
(see “Destination folder chooser” on page
22).
If you want to use the stand-alone version of
LCn to process all files that you copy or move
to a specific folder (often called “batch process-
ing”), you can active Watch Folder mode. For
more information, see “Watch Folder mode” on
page 24.
Processing of 5.1 surround files
in LC6n (stand-alone version)
Please note that the following information only
applies to LC6n. LC2n cannot process surround
files.
When you use LC6n to process 5.1 surround files
that are separated into six separate mono files,
LC6n will use Pro Tools naming conventions to
determine which file represents which channel.
The naming convention is:
Channel String to append to filename
Left .L
Right .R
Center .C
LFE .LFE
Left surround .Ls
Right surround .Rs
Example: To have LC6n process a surround
track called “INTRO” successfully, the files need
to be named as follows:
– INTRO.L.WAV
– INTRO.R.WAV
– INTRO.C.WAV
– INTRO.LFE.WAV
– INTRO.Ls.WAV
– INTRO.Rs.WAV
When you add files to LC6n for processing and
these files do not follow the naming convention
described here, they will be seen and processed
as mono files.
While the naming convention has to be followed,
the order in which you add the mono files does
not matter.
