Learn how to use the Loudness Meter to measure and manage the audio of your sequence.
If you are producing content for broadcast television, you may have to provide media files according to strict delivery requirements. A common delivery requirement is related to the maximum loudness that a sequence can have. You can measure the audio level of your clips, tracks, or sequences using the Loudness Meter. It provides industry standard ITU-based loudness monitoring for broadcast, podcast, and streaming media content.
The Loudness Meter transparently measures program loudness for full mixes, single tracks, or buses and submixes. Presets support common regional loudness requirements, like EBU for Europe or ATSC for the Americas, while new presets ensure compatibility with online destinations, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Netflix, and YouTube.
You can use the Loudness Meter in both Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition with the workflow being the same in both the applications.
If you have projects created in Premiere Pro versions earlier than 15.2 that you want to open in version 15.2, or if you have projects created in Adobe Audition version earlier than 14.2 that you want to open in version 14.2, you can still use the old Loudness Radar effect (Premiere Pro) or the Loudness Radar Meter effect (Adobe Audition). For more information, see Measure audio using the Loudness Radar effect.
