Multichannel Loudness Normalisation on greater than 4 channel sequences ignores process checkbox

There's a project, media, export presets, screen grabs of track mixer and LU settings.

Also a screen rec that kind of explains how the sequence is setup and where the exports have gone wrong. 

The 4ch export does not null on channels 1-2 (because it has been correctly normalized) but DOES null on channels 3-4 (because it has, correctly, not been affected on export).

The 8ch export does not null on anything (because each stereo pair have been normalized - which is incorrect in the case of stems and can result in very undesirable results). 

Hi @jamieclarke - yes we use that to get us in the landing zone but it's very hard to be absolutely precise across long programmes in quick turnaround.

So we have to ensure the spec is met (or AQC will fail).

So the Loudness Normalisation on export is an *excellent* feature.

It's just not consistent with 8ch exports. (I presume it's > 4 channel exports that are the issue).

Hi @trevora3 - Have you tried adding the Loudness Meter effect in the Audio Track Mixer? It may give you more precise control, especially since your sequence includes submixes and has a more complex setup than usual.

Thanks for the response Jamie

No the exports are incorrect, matching the XML. Not at computer ATM but sequence is simple 8 channel multichannel with tracks routed correctly (e.g. DX submix to 5&6, FX submix to 3&4, MX submix to 7&8, Master mix to 1&2)

Export presets (OP1a or Wav or mov, doesn't make a difference) are set to 8 channel 24 bit, with Loudness normalisation set to 4 stereo streams, 1-2 with process checked, other 3 with process unchecked.

Will try and supply a media managed project and presets if you can't replicate.
