2.1.6. Timing mode


The timing mode combo-box allows you to choose a ballistics preset that determines how Loudness Leveler responds to changes in source loudness. Timing mode also determines which loudness window the leveler uses internally.

  • Focus uses a 100ms momentary loudness window with look-ahead enabled.
  • Present uses a 400ms momentary loudness window with look-ahead enabled.
  • Deep uses a 3s short-term loudness window with look-ahead enabled.
  • Traditional uses a 300ms RMS window with look-ahead enabled.
  • Focus (low-latency) uses the same 100ms momentary window with predictive look-ahead and no added delay.
  • Present (low-latency) uses the same 400ms momentary window with predictive look-ahead and no added delay.
  • Deep (low-latency) uses the same 3s short-term window with predictive look-ahead and no added delay.
  • Traditional (low-latency) uses the same 300ms RMS window with predictive look-ahead and no added delay.

The low-latency variants do not use a true delayed look-ahead buffer. Instead, when look-ahead mode is not OFF, they use the configured look-ahead amount as a stochastic prediction horizon.
