<p>I think we'd have to bring in Dolby and other experts at least as
consultants. I only understand the basics of Metadata so I'd be
shooting in the dark.</p>

AES71 tells you when to use metadata but it doesn't say exactly
what it is, how to transport it or what you should do with it.
Is this something that we help could flesh out?</div>

<p>-18 LUFS is 5 dB away from -23. It ought to be safe for
the majority of program with an emergency protection
limiter, at least for portable devices. But I would NOT
recommend -18 LUFS target for set top devices playing
wide range program material on loudspeakers. There's the
rub and the need for metadata.</p>

<p>Maybe the solution for fallback in the
absence of metadata on portable devices we
recommend a gain boost of 7 dB with a
protection limiter. Since it's music it's
likely to have a PLR of less than 16 dB so
if it was normalized to -23 it would hardly
trigger the limiter. But without metadata
how do you know it's music? And if they
normalize regular program to -23 it will be
too low for many portable devices, also. <br>

<div>We’ve settled on around -18 LUFS for my
podcast, which is plenty loud on my (European)
iPod with stock earbuds. Anecdotally the BBC seems
to be similar, and also works works fine, for the
most part.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We should look back through our notes for the
meeting where the podcast providers joined in, Bob
- from memory most of them had also settled on -16
or -18, I think.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I assume your concern is that raising normal
program to -16 would trigger excessive limiting,
Bob. Perhaps suggesting -18 (which is the median
of the AES recommended range) for everything would
be a workable compromise, when there’s no
meta-data ?</div>
