Global Options - Insight 2 Help

Posted by Reinaldo Massengill on Friday, May 3, 2024

Overview

The global options window includes the following sections: General, Loudness, Updates, and Authorization. These options save to a configuration file, which means that modifications to the factory default values will persist in new instantiations of Insight 2.

Global Options Window

The buttons along the bottom of the Global Options window include:

  • Reset: Resets all options to their factory default settings.
  • Cancel: Discards changes made since last opening the global options window and closes the window.
  • Ok: Saves changes and closes the global options window.

General

  • Show tooltips: Enables/disables the display of tooltip text.
  • Send anonymous usage data: Enables sending of anonymous usage data to iZotope to help improve Insight 2.

Loudness

  • Enable automation data: When checked, Insight 2 will broadcast loudness overflow and integrated loudness automation data to the DAW/NLE. Enable track automation in the DAW/NLE to write the loudness data to two automation envelopes.
    • Loudness overflow: When the integrated loudness target has been exceeded, this will broadcast a value of “True”, or “1”. When the integrated loudness level is below the target, this will broadcast a value of “False” or “0”.
    • Integrated loudness: Broadcasts the Integrated loudness measurement value. When this value has exceeded the loudness target, the automation events will be broadcast and written more often. When integrated loudness falls below the loudness target value, the automation events will be broadcast and written less often.
  • Export Loudness CSV: Saves a .csv file with loudness history values captured over the course of the current calculation. The .csv file includes four main pieces of information: Timestamp: h:m:s.ms, Integrated Loudness, Short-term Loudness, Momentary Loudness. The loudness measurements written to the .csv file are only written as absolute loudness values, even if Relative scale is selected in the Loudness meter options. The Integrated loudness trace will not reflect dialogue-gated measurements, even if dialogue gate is selected in the targets control panel in the
    Loudness meter.
