RTW CLC - Continuous Loudness Control

The next generation audio processing for TV and Radio, in Live- and Postproduction.

First introduced in 2014, the Continuous Loudness Control (CLC) software is the latest product of the Masterclass PlugIns series featuring the loudness correction algorithm developed and patented by Institut für Rundfunktechnik (IRT) as a plug-in and stand-alone application. The amazing look-ahead low latency algorithm used in the CLC allows loudness correction to a definable target with or without changing the original Loudness Range and protects to an adjustable True Peak value. The dynamic processing of the CLC is capable to handle DAW audio, live audio, and audio files.

CLC technology allows users to constantly adapt the level of audio they are working on, against a given program-loudness value, along with a definable loudness range in real-time with minimal obstacles.

CLC may be operated with the most common DAW software products with Mac and PC and now also as a standalone software tool. With CLC technology, users are able to maintain accordance with EBU R128 and other global loudness standard specifications.

PACE Anti-Piracy and a PACE iLok USB copy-protection dongle are used for handling the licence management and PlugIn activation.

The Principle

CLC technology with the outstanding “Look-ahead Low Latency” algorithm allows users to constantly adapt the level of audio they are working on, against a given program-loudness value, along with a definable loudness range in real-time with all-time minimal obstacles without sonic discolorations. The CLC algorithm “learns” during processing about the dynamic structure and intention of the sound signal, and adopts its processing constantly to predict what comes next. CLC software is best for the dynamic processing of unknown Live audio, DAW audio, and audio files.
