GigaVox Media has released the Levelator™, an easy to use stand alone application that will simplify your post production work-flow.
Often we are forced to manually ‘level’ problematic audio clips that contain wide variations in peak loudness. For example:
A content producer records an interview with a single hand-held microphone. Due to microphone distance variations and unique vocal characteristics of the host and guest, it’s very possible the recorded audio will be problematic in terms of peak loudness.
In the past, it was necessary to manually address these variations by ‘leveling’ the audio before the final distribution file was processed and encoded. Needless to say this will require a good amount of time, effort, and experience.
Enter the Levelator™. Simply drag any AIFF or WAV file into this stand-alone software processor. Your original file will remain as is, and you will be provided with a processed copy that has been automatically leveled and maximized in terms of loudness. In fact, the processor performs Compression, RMS Normalization and Intelligent Peak Limiting in one step, correcting medium-term variations in loudness. This initial beta release is available for free [non-commercial use only].
