Loudness Analysis in PlayIt Live allows you to ensure consistent audio levels across your tracks. This feature analyses your tracks, calculates an offset gain, and stores this information in your database. When a track is played, PlayIt Live automatically applies this gain, resulting in uniform loudness across all your content.
You can initiate Loudness Analysis by selecting a target loudness (default -16 LUFS) and clicking 'Start Loudness Analysis'. PlayIt Live then processes each track in the background using the ITU-R BS.1770 algorithm, commonly known as LUFS normalisation. This process can take several hours depending on your library size, but it only needs to be done once. Any new tracks you add will be automatically processed in the background.
By using Loudness Analysis, you can improve your station's overall sound quality and listener experience. It eliminates the need for manual volume adjustments between tracks and ensures that your content maintains a professional, consistent sound level throughout your broadcasts.
