  • Premiere Pro Audio Levels/Audio Loudness for Broadcast

    Posted by Jonnie Lewis on May 9, 2014 at 3:48 pm

    Hello,

    I’m delivering a file for broadcast and have been given a spec sheet that has some audio settings which need to be met. Could someone please give me guidance on how to handle these settings within Premiere Pro?

    Audio Levels:

    Audio reference lineup should be -18dBfs (0 dBu / UK ppm 4)
    Peak program level should not exceed -10dBfs (+8dBu / UK ppm 6)
    Speech should be between -18dBfs to 13 dBfs (UK ppm 3 to 5)

    Audio Loudness:

    Digital files should be supplied to comply with EBU-R128 / ITU-R BS1770 loudness specification.
    Audio loudness target should be set to -23LUFS.

    Any help much appreciated!

    Many thanks.

    sounds like the “CALM ACT” levels.

    Premiere CC comes with a great metering plugin called “Loudness Radar”

    just add it to your audio track then play it.

    It should not go below -22
