The normalization options "-20-Leq(RLB)" and "-20-Leq(R2LB)" have been replaced by "-Leq(RLB)" and "-Leq(R2LB)", with a default target level of -20 dBFS.
So if you wish to test to use EBU R 128 instead of ReplayGain, then you may want to enter a target value of 5 LU to compensate. NB, the EBU R128 target level of "0 LU = -23 LUFS" lies at approx.
Added support for normalization per EBU R 128 (this is basically the ITU BS 1770 Leq(R2LB) loudness measure + two gating functions + definition of a "0 LU" reference level).
MOV are read only, and for the others you must select "AC3" or "" as output data format for the copy to work). What you can now do though, is to copy compressed streams between files using new "Direct Stream Copy" support for AC3 and DTS.įile formats that supports this are. There's currently no way for the program to compress data to these formats. the common "AC3Filter"), then it can use that to decompress such data. However, if you have installed a "Windows ACM filter" that can decode AC3 or DTS (e.g. Please note however, that the program does not contain any AC3 codec so by itself it can neither compress nor decompress these types of data.
Added support for reading and writing raw AC3 audio streams (.AC3), raw padded DTS audio streams (.DTS), and raw compact DTS audio streams (.CPT).
ReplayGain) which is added as meta data to the output file - without degrading the compressed audio. The practical upside of this is that you can run MP2, MP3 or AAC data through the program and calculate gain adjustment (e.g.
When the "Normalize" feature is set to "output meta data" (but not when set to "modify audio") it will now support "Direct Stream Copy" for MPEG audio layer II, MPEG audio layer III and MPEG AAC audio (in addition to uncompressed formats).
MP3 file) without loosing audio quality due to recompression. When it can be used, it has the advantage of copying the compressed stream verbatim (e.g. data format.Īnd just like "Direct Stream Copy" with uncompressed formats, it can only be used if the audio data is not modified in any way (so no resampling et c). NB, you *must* set the output data format to "" for this to work, and it will only work for file format for which the program normally supports writing the resp.
Added "Direct Stream Copy" support for MPEG audio layer II, MPEG audio layer III and MPEG AAC compressed data (a.k.a.
Otherwise, it will select a default data format (e.g. It does this by querying the file reader about the input file's data format - if it is a data format that the writer can also handle, then it will use that (thus preserving the data format of the input file). Select this to let the file writer decide what data format to use.
Most file formats now have a new "" data format selection.
The output file format list is now formatted so that you can type in the first letter of the file extension to search in the list.
WAV files (Broadcast Wave Files), the "Write EBU 'levl' chunk" option (in the "Format options" dialog) has been complemented by a block size selection and a choice of storing either only "Absolute peaks" or both "Pos.
Updated EBU R 128 normalization to the 2011 revision of the spec (now 10 dB relative gate & 75% block overlap).
The "Create log file" option now writes the log file to the out-path.
The conversion progress is now also shown in the taskbar (Windows 7 / 8 only).
NB Like in previous versions, the dithering option is disabled if the output data format is floating point or use a compression codec that accepts floating point data. In all other cases it selects "Noise-shaped dither". This selects "None (round to nearest)" if the output bit depth is ≥ the input bit depth and no sample modifying audio processing is done (resampling, plug-ins, et c).
The Audio Player now has a ">" button which jumps to the next file in the input list, and a "" dithering option.
The "Add file" dialog now use an up-to-date style (with a folder browser to the left).
The UI now supports high-dpi screens (without blurry upscaling).
Awave Audio is now available in both 64-bit native and 32-bit versions.
