Two »Match Loudness« improvement requests

Hi There! 

I am using audition cc 2019 and have a suggestion on how to improve loudness matching. 

First: I love this feature a lot, in the waveform editor as well as in the multitrack version.

I'm using 32 Bit recordings, so it would be great if you were able to disable the peak limiting in IBU 1770-3. What I mean, 32 Bit allows for over 0db audio, so you could alter the amplification at will. It's not necessary to limit peaks in 32 Bit at that stage, that can always be made afterwards.

Example: A clip has -40 LUFS loudness, and your target is -23 LUFS. So you would amplify it by about 17 db. Assume the true peak before the matching is at -5dbfs, it would now be at 12dbfs. Which in 32 bit is not a problem at all. You can bring it down later, or edit the part manually or whatever.

Second suggestion: Please make loudness matching also an effect that you can apply to a certain selection only. At the moment it only works a) for files or b) for clips in multitrack. It would be nice to use this inside a selection of a wav file only.

Example: I’ve got interviews where loudness is not constant. So I would select the answers, to match them in loudness. 

Now I’d have to make a multitrack file, put the clip on a track, split it into parts, match volume on clips, export it, and continue editing again. That’s a little cumbersome.

Thank you!

With kind regards

Sebastian
