NUGEN Audio Announces Updated Loudness Plugin VisLM 3

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.

The Audio Engineering Society launched a new AES Loudness Project website. Because consistent loudness should be a goal of audio engineers for digital content delivery, the new portal provides tutorials developed by the AES Technical Committee for Broadcast and Online Delivery (TCBOD) on audio loudness, with guidelines for content production and distribution consistent with AES Recommended Practices from its Technical Council, and Standards committees.

Loudness processing and optimization is a requirement in broadcast services - radio and TV - but also in streaming services, from OTT to music streaming platforms. Typically, loudness monitoring is complemented with loudness optimization handled at the source file level and performed by a team of highly trained audio engineers, working 24/7 on powerful servers and workstation... Right? Angry Audio, the problem-solving company knows that's not the case and designed the Audio Chameleon C4 Livestream Audio Processor.

A collective of pro audio veterans, lead by engineer and educator Friedemann Tischmeyer, have started a new enterprise. Based in California, MAAT Inc is building premium quality software and hardware for production professionals at all budget and skill levels. As an introduction, MAAT released a free download of 2BusControl, a cross-platform metering and monitor controller plug-in, and now announced the release of the new DR Meter, a remodeled plug-in of the legendary TT Dynamic Range Meter.
