Analyze button
To have LCn analyze the currently selected clip
or file, click the Analyze button.
When analysis is started, the Radar Meters are
set to an adequate range, so that the loudness
landscape for the full clip or file can be displayed.
After analysis, the left Radar Meter will dis-
play the short-term loudness landscape for the
source clip or file. For more information, see
“Source Radar Meter” on page 17.
Analyze & Process (stand-alone) /
Render button (Pro Tools)
To have the stand-alone version of LCn analyze
and loudness-normalize the currently selected
clip or file, click the “Analyze & Process” (or
“Auto Analyze & Process”) button.
To have the Pro Tools plug-in version of LCn an-
alyze and loudness-normalize the current selec-
tion, click the plug-in’s “Render” button in Pro
Tools.
As the clip or file is processed, you will see the
Processed file Radar Meter draw the loudness
landscape for the processed clip or file.
After analysis and processing,
– the left Radar Meter will display the short-
term loudness landscape for the source clip
or file
– the right Radar Meter will display the short-
term loudness landscape for the processed
clip or file
– (stand-alone version only) the processed file
will be placed in the folder selected with the
Destination Folder parameter on the Settings
page.
How processed files are named
If you use the stand-alone version of LCn to pro-
cess audio files, information about the applied
settings will be appended to the destination file
names as follows:
– For Program Loudness, the string “INT” and
the numerical value is appended to the file
name.
– For Loudness Range, the string “LRA” and
the numerical value is appended to the file
name.
– If the loudness target cannot be met due to
plug-in settings, the string “_warning_” is
added before the file name.
Naming example
– Name of the source file: “promo.wav”
– Program Loudness: -22.6LUFS
– LRA: 3.8LU
– Resulting destination file name:
“promo_INT-22.6_LRA3.8.wav”
If a warning is triggered because the Target
Loudness setting cannot be met, the resulting
destination file name will be:
– “_warning_promo_INT-22.6_LRA3.8.wav”
The leading underscore ensure that these prob-
lematic files will be moved to the top of the win-
dow in your operating system’s file manager
(Windows Explorer or Finder) when it is sorted
by name.
