Can Loudness Radar operate faster than real-time?

revjake Jul 9, 2013 9:54 AM

Apologies if this has been asked before - I couldn't find an answer with a search.

Can Loudness Radar operate faster than real-time? In making sure my levels are broadcast-ready for a TV show, I'm having to basically play through the entire thing to get an overall level. Is there a way to have Loudness Radar go over it and give me an overall level without having to hit "play" and go away for a while? I'd love to be able to do it in Premiere, but I'm fine with exporting to Audition if that's what it takes.

I just searched in the CS5 user guide PDF, and do not find "Loudness Radar" mentioned

Unless that is something added to CS6 or the Cloud (mentioning your version when you ask a question is a good idea) is that a 3rd party add-in?

If it is a 3rd party add-in, have you asked the add-in vendor?

Its realtime.

Your idea to do it in Audition s a good one because thats the best place to fix it if required.

As far as I know even your broadcasters QC will check it in realtime.
All my facilties use realtime processes for this function.

I kind of wish there was a 'scan' function for this as well. Watching that radar for 90 minutes is tedious.

There might be a funny solution to this ... just shuttle the playback with maximum fast forward during loudness metering.
As far as i tested it here in CC 2014 - it works!

The radar shows the average loudness over time, just press play, go and have lunch and see what it reads when you get back.
