Neocrius Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I'm a huge Launch Box/Big Box fan, and I'm really looking forward to this app, provided it adds a couple of features I consider essential. One is ASIO support, which was already suggested in another topic, but what I'd really like to see implemented is loudness normalization based on the EBU R128 / LUFS standard. In case you don't know what that is, I don't blame you. Here's a primer, but basically it's what Spotify, YouTube, and other major providers use to normalize audio loudness. I'd like to set a target LUFS level, say -15 for general listening or -17 for jazz/classical, and have Music Box apply the necessary volume correction to each song. Ideally, MB would implement some kind of a compressor or peak limiter to be used when a volume boost is required for quiet tracks, but I would be happy even with a simple implementation, where MB would boost only up to the loudest peak to avoid clipping. I know that this is kind of an advanced topic, but for me personally it would be the reason to pay for MB, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Jason Carr Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks @Neocrius. That's probably a ways off if I'm honest, but I will add it to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neocrius Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Alternatively, how about having multiple versions of the same song stored under one entry, with one being the "listening" version, and the other an "archival" version. Something like ROM clones? I have copies of many of my favorite songs loudness-normalized, and stored in separate locations. I don't know if this is already possible, I haven't checked out the app that closely yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
