Overview

Levels, across a playlist.

Playlist Rider balances the level of several audio feeds automatically and in real time, which is the recurring problem in broadcast, podcasts, panel discussions and pre-show music. You set the input levels, put it across the master bus, and it holds everything to one of three targets, -24, -18 or -14 LKFS. A variable threshold keeps the result sounding uncompressed, attack can be fast or slow, and it will also match the tonal character of different feeds.

Highlights
