Watch Folder mode
A key functionality in the LCn stand-alone ver-
sion is the dedicated watch folder capability.
Using Watch Folder Mode, you can simply drag
and drop your audio files into a user-defined tar-
get folder for fast and easy loudness normaliza-
tion and true peak limiting. The new, normalized
file will then be saved in a user-defined destina-
tion folder. You can also have LCn automatically
delete the original file or keep it in the source
folder.
Activating Watch Folder Mode
To enable Watch Folder mode, click the “Watch
Folder mode” checkbox on the LCn settings
page.

This will replace the “When file is added” param-
eter by two additional parameters:
Source folder chooser
To specify the folder that LCn should monitor
for files that can be processed, click the Source
folder: Choose button. A file dialog will open, al-
lowing you to select a folder. Click the OK button
to confirm the selected folder.
Reveal (source folder) in
Finder/Explorer button
To show the selected source folder in your oper-
ating system’s file manager (Windows Explorer
or OSX Finder), click the Reveal button.
You may want to create a shortcut or alias for
the selected source folder on your computer’s
desktop, allowing you to easily copy/move files
to this folder without having to navigate the fold-
er structure.
– In Microsoft Windows, right-click the folder
to open the context menu and select “Create
shortcut”. Move the shortcut to the desktop.
– In OSX, open the context menu for a folder
and select “Make alias”. Move the alias to the
desktop.
