JELSTUDIO's "AL" (Auto Loudness) family

An automatic perceived-loudness normalizer for LIVE and OFFLINE use

JELSTUDIO's "AL 1" (Auto Loudness, LIVE)

LIVE use.

AL will automatically and continuously adjust audio-gain to maintain a similar overall perceived-loudness of the audio going through it.

AL has 18 different methods of adjusting loudness.

Technically it is a 32/64 bit VST2 audio-effect plugin mainly for use in a LIVE VST-host (for example with LIVE stage-performance audio, or with music/TV home-stereo audio), but it can also be used in DAWs and sound/video-editors on Windows.

A few ideas of what AL can be used for: to balance dialog and sound-effects when watching movies, to avoid loud commercials when watching TV-shows, to balance loudness between songs when listening to music. It can also be used on LIVE internet-broadcasts.

JELSTUDIO's "AL 12" (Auto Loudness, High quality music)

OFFLINE use.

AL 12 sounds more musically transparent than AL1, but uses a half-second latency to achieve this.

AL 12 has 18 different methods of adjusting loudness (Not the same as in AL 1, but tuned for more transparency)

Technically it is a 32/64 bit VST2 audio-effect plugin for use in a LIVE VST-host with music home-stereo audio, or in DAWs and sound/video-editors on Windows for offline rendering/exporting of audio.

A few ideas of what AL can be used for: to balance dialogue and sound-effects in movie-soundtracks, to balance varied material in podcasts, DJ-mixes or compiled radio/TV-programs, to balance loudness between songs when listening to music. It can also be used on LIVE internet-broadcasts where the half-second latency is acceptable.

JELSTUDIO's "AL dialnorm" (Auto Loudness, dialogue and speech)

OFFLINE use.

AL will automatically and continuously adjust audio-gain to maintain a similar overall dialnorm-loudness (-27 LUFS/LKFS) of the audio going through it.

AL dialnorm has 5 different methods of adjusting the speech-track.

Technically it is a 32/64 bit VST2 audio-effect plugin mainly for use in a LIVE VST-host (for example with LIVE stage-performance audio, or with music/TV home-stereo audio), but it can also be used in DAWs and sound/video-editors on Windows.

A few ideas of what AL can be used for: to balance dialog for movie, television or radio work, Anything speech-related.

AL 1

• Runaway volume peaks are clipped at -0.1 dB FS

• Zero latency (for LIVE use or for tracking)

• Inspired by "Recommendation ITU-R BS.1864-0" (See manual for more info)

• Inspired by "Recommendation ITU-R BS.1770-4" (See manual for more info)

• Can handle incoming audio-signals that has 'overs' (internally handles signals hotter than 0 dB FS, either real peaks or ISPs)

• Works on mono and stereo signals.

• GUI layout is optimized for ’peripheral vision overview’ (when looking at the center of the GUI; all important displays can be read at a glance with peripheral vision)

AL 12

• Audio-chain sample-peak overload protection (Max output is 0 dB FS unweighted)

• Half a second latency (Plugin has delay compensation, so can be used in multi-track environments)

• Inspired by "Recommendation ITU-R BS.1864-0" (See manual for more info)

• Inspired by "Recommendation ITU-R BS.1770-4" (See manual for more info)

• Has 1 loudness-algorithm (JELSTUDIO’s own based on the “Advanced Television Systems Committee standard A/85”)

• Can handle incoming audio-signals that has 'overs' without clipping (Internally the plugin can operate with sample-peak values up to about +10 dB FS)

• Works on mono and stereo signals.

• GUI layout is optimized for ’peripheral vision overview’ (when looking at the center of the GUI; all important displays can be read at a glance with peripheral vision) based on aviation-safety studies.

AL dialnorm

• Audio-chain sample-peak overload protection (Max output is 0 dB FS unweighted)

• Quarter of a second latency (Plugin has delay compensation, so can be used in multi-track environments)

• Inspired by "Recommendation ITU-R BS.1864-0" (See manual for more info)

• Inspired by "Recommendation ITU-R BS.1770-4" (See manual for more info)

• Has 1 loudness-algorithm (JELSTUDIO’s own mode, based on the “Advanced Television Systems Committee standard A/85” but modified for automation)

• Can handle incoming audio-signals that has 'overs' without clipping (Internally the plugin can operate with sample-peak values up to about +10 dB FS)

• Works on mono and stereo signals with loudness-compliant panning.

• Employs soft-rolloff band-pass filter (full pass-through of audio above 100 Hz and below 10,000 Hz, with soft roll-off outside those frequencies)

• GUI layout is optimized for ’peripheral vision overview’ (when looking at the center of the GUI; all important displays can be read at a glance with peripheral vision) based on aviation-safety studies.

Alternative download from cloud-sites: List of cloud-sites

The download contains both the demo-version and the full paid-version in the same download.

When you buy a license you get a password to unlock the 7z compressed file containing the paid-version.

The demo-version is exactly the same as the full paid-version, except it briefly cuts the sound once every minute*
*Note that the demo-version can still be tested in multi-track sessions, as multiple instances of the plugin will cut-out sound at the same time.
