Abstract
To provide loudness adjustment for downmixed audio content.SOLUTION: Audio content coded for a reference speaker configuration is downmixed to downmix audio content coded for a specific speaker configuration. One or more gain adjustments are performed on individual portions of the downmix audio content coded for the specific speaker configuration. Loudness measurements are then performed on the individual portions of the downmix audio content. An audio signal that comprises the audio content coded for the reference speaker configuration and downmix loudness metadata is generated. The downmix loudness metadata is created on the basis of at least in part the loudness measurements on the individual portions of the downmix audio content.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
