I have heard some tosh when it comes to  Loudness Monitoring, Loudness Monitoring Computer Systems,  etc. etc. etc. In this wonder-us world that is equated with the present  Sound Delivery System for Broadcast TV  Audio with its ingests and pre-prescribed norms etc. etc. Why is it when I sit at home for my pre-prescribed viewing,  I have to sit with my finger on the Sound Level of my Remote not only on programme content but on programme inserts, network junctions, channel changes etc. etc.?<\/p>\n

Would it be a better solution that programmes are only made for computers to appreciate?<\/p>\n

Or do I have the wrong type of ears for the modern type of Broadcast TV experience?  They seem to work fine with my radio and with my Film going experience.<\/p>\n

Dave Plowman<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Why indeed. I can listen to R4 all day and never need to alter the level.<\/p>\n

On BBC1, for example, I’ve measured the newsreader on the London local news which follows the national News being 10dB louder (on occasion) – although no need to measure it as you can plainly hear that sort of difference. More than enough to make you reach for the remote. <\/p>\n

It’s also not uncommon to have a level difference between the HD and SD service on progs which haven’t been made in surround.<\/p>\n

Alasdair Lawrance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I agree wholeheartedly about having a finger on the remote, and like so much of the teknikals in my life, \u201cit doesn\u2019t actually effing work!\u201d<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

A simple example – if I e-mail a company from its website, I have no record of what I have written when, unless they deign to reply.  I would like a copy to be deposited in my Sent folder, but that apparently is completely impossible.  <\/p>\n

Unless somebody out there knows better\u2026?<\/p>\n

It seems most beta testing takes place on an unsuspecting public – and that\u2019s another thing!<\/p>\n

John Nottage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I just copy\/paste anything like that into a blank text file, before I click "Send", then I have a record of what I have sent. That said, I don’t always remember… Alternatively, you can do it the other way round: compose your email in a text window, then once you’re happy with what you’ve written, copy it to the website email form and send.<\/p>\n

Dave Plowman<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If it is an email, copy and paste the address to your normal email prog and post from there? Mine keeps a copy of every email I send.<\/p>\n

But some of these website contact thingies might not actually be an email?<\/p>\n
