Hitting 'Reset' will clear the loudness Capture and measurements.
Overall, the Start-Pause mode allows you to manually start and stop the capture during breaks
or audio that you do not wish to consider in the overall loudness readings.
Note: As per the BS1770 standards, audio below -70dBFS is not included in the overall
loudness capture. This is to avoid that breaks or silence in the audio undermines the
loudness readings.
Auto-Start Mode
The Auto-Start mode, has controls and options similar to those of the Start-Pause Mode, with
the addition of an automatic start/reset facility triggered by the audio level.
More specifically, if the audio is higher than -70dBFS, the Loudness Capture is automatically
started, as well as being automatically stopped and Reset when the audio drops below -70dBFS
again for more than 2 seconds.
This mode is particularly handy when working with smaller bits of audio, and frees you from
having to manually reset the loudness capture every time you want a new reading.
Auto-LTC – Loudness Automation
The Auto-LTC mode automates the Loudness capturing based on incoming LTC / SMPTE time
code.
This is an extremely efficient audio production mode, as it features instant recalculation of all
Loudness capture results when editing even tiny bits of the audio clip.
Imagine wanting to measure and adjust loudness for an audio clip of 5 minutes, but really only
altering the audio in a section of 30 seconds. This would normally mean that you would have to
allow the Loudness measurement to go over the entire 5 minutes after every edit.
With the Loudness Automation feature, the DK T7 automatically identifies what section of the
audio is being altered based on the incoming time code and instantly recalculates the complete
loudness result.
Please see the 'Loudness Automation' section for further details on how set this up.
