It performs an up-front analysis of an entire audio file, building a loudness distribution which can then be reshaped to a target distribution using uniform, normal, source-match, or reference-match modes. The optimizer takes the source and target distributions and makes many small adjustments to the compress/expand ratio over time, guided by the full dynamic landscape of the file. Traditional compressor controls like attack and release are available and can be adjusted in real-time during playback, along with the target range and distribution shape. Export is to 32-bit float wav at the original sample rate. Distribution modes : Uniform, Normal (with skew), Source-match, and Reference-match. Loudness types : LUFS (Momentary, Short-term, Integrated), RMS, Peak, and True Peak. Multi-channel : Supports stereo, surround, and Dolby Atmos® formats. on the cart page. System requirements: macOS 10.14 (x64, ARM), Windows 10 (x86, x64), OpenGL 3.2. Supported software formats: Standalone application . Walkthrough When you first open an audio file, the optimizer will analyze the audio file’s loudness timeline. You’ll then be presented with a pair of histograms. On the left, you’ll see the audio file’s current loudness distribution. On the right, you’ll see a target distribution. The optimizer’s job is to dynamically compress and expand the audio throughout the entire audio file strategically to match the target distribution. Before continuing to the next step, you can make adjustments to the source percentiles. This allows you to exclude any unwanted audio from the optimization process. By default, the percentiles are set to match the LRA standard from LUFS . This generally does a good job capturing the main body of the audio. Once you’re happy with the source percentile range, you can then press the right arrow to continue to the next step. Once optimization is complete, you can play the result in real-time while adjusting the character of the sound with the same collection of parameters from the LUFS . This generally does a good job capturing the main body of the audio. Once you’re happy with the source percentile range, you can then press the right arrow to continue to the next step. Once optimization is complete, you can play the result in real-time while adjusting the character of the sound with the same collection of parameters from the compressor plug-in. Use the play/stop buttons and seek slider to navigate the audio while making any adjustments you’d like. Once you’re happy with the result, you can export the optimized audio to a new file. This file is always stored with the same samplerate as the original audio, using 32-bit floating point wave format. This ensures the highest quality audio is preserved.
