Abstract
A method for controlling the loudness of auditory events in an audio signal. In an embodiment, the method includes weighting the auditory events (an auditory event having a spectrum and a loudness), using skewness in the spectra and controlling loudness of the auditory events, using the weights. Various embodiments of the invention are as follows: The weighting being proportionate to the measure of skewness in the spectra; the measure of skewness is a measure of smoothed skewness; the weighting is insensitive to amplitude of the audio signal; the weighting is insensitive to power; the weighting is insensitive to loudness; and any relationship between signal measure and absolute reproduction level is not known at the time of weighting; the weighting includes weighting auditory-event-boundary importance, using skewness in the spectra.
