Highlights

File in, file out.

loudness CORRECT on iPad is the mobile version of the desktop tool, same engine, same presets, same surround layouts. In landscape for sample-accurate control.

16 Presets

From R128 to YouTube

EBU R128, R128 S1, ATSC A/85, ARIB TR-B32, AGCOM, FreeTV OP-59, DPP, Portaria 354, Netflix, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, Leq(m)-85, Leq(a)-85 and Custom, all targets in one list.

Two-Pass

Verify-and-refine

Pass 1 measures, pass 2 writes with correction gain. If the result deviates by more than 0.1 LU from target, an additional refine pass runs automatically. No "approximately".

True Peak

4x polyphase limiter

Inter-sample peak protection with 5 ms lookahead and 50 ms exponential release. Dual-time-constant envelope, no pumping, no distortion on transients.

Surround

Mono to 9.1.6

Up to 16 channels: mono, stereo, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.4, 9.1.4, 9.1.6. Four routing layouts (Auto/ITU, Film L-C-R, DTS, Raw/Stems). LFE BS.1770-compliant with weight 0, surrounds at 1.41, exactly per spec.

LRA

3-band reshape

Optional when source LRA is too high. Linkwitz-Riley 4th order splits at <= 150 Hz and >= 3 kHz. Per-band soft-knee compression with band-specific time constants, perfect reconstruction.

Files

Files workflow

Input via Files, iCloud Drive or AirDrop. Output lands in app Documents, share via Files instantly or AirDrop onward. Naming: <input>_<preset>.wav.

Delivery presets

16 targets, one tap

From the code: every standard that comes up in practice, plus a freely configurable Custom preset for special cases.

How it works

Four steps to a deliverable file

Pick file, set layout and preset, ANALYZE CORRECT, done. Verify-and-refine runs in the background.

01

Pick file

WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3 from Files, iCloud Drive or via AirDrop. Up to 9.1.6 (16 channels).

02

Layout & preset

Auto/ITU for standard multichannel, Film/DTS/Raw for special cases. Preset from 16 targets or Custom.

03

ANALYZE CORRECT

Pass 1 measures integrated LUFS and max TP. Pass 2 writes with correction gain and TP limiter. Refine pass when deviation > 0.1 LU.

04

Output to Files

Corrected file lands in app Documents. Share via Files instantly, AirDrop, Mail, USB-C stick.

What it is not

Not a real-time meter.

loudness CORRECT is an offline correction tool, not a live meter. It measures the whole file, plans the correction, writes new audio, verifies. If you need real-time loudness, get pegelWERK loudness METER PRO. If you need to land a finished mix on the correct loudness corridor, get this one.
