An audio signal processing device comprises: a receiver for receiving an input audio signal; a processor for generating loudness metadata corresponding to the input audio signal; and an outputter for transmitting the loudness metadata generated by the processor. The processor is configured to acquire loudness information analyzed from input content, acquires loudness information about the input audio signal by measuring the loudness of the input audio signal, generates the loudness metadata by converting the loudness information, and transmits, through the outputter, the generated loudness metadata to an output device for outputting the input audio signal.

Audio signal processing method and device for controlling loudness level

A method for performing loudness normalization by an audio signal processing device includes: receiving an audio signal; receiving information relating to integrated loudness of the audio signal; receiving information relating to target loudness of the audio signal; obtaining a corrected integrated loudness by correcting the integrated loudness based on one or more audio processing; and obtaining a normalized audio signal by normalizing the audio signal based on the corrected integrated loudness and the target loudness.

Method for performing normalization of audio signal and apparatus therefor

Disclosed is a device for processing an audio signal, which renders an audio signal. The device for processing an audio signal includes a processor. The processor receives metadata including an audio signal and first element reference distance information and renders a first element signal on the basis of the first element reference distance information, wherein the first element reference distance information indicates the reference distance of an element signal. The audio signal is capable of including a second element signal which may be simultaneously rendered with the first element signal, and the metadata is capable of including second element distance information indicating the distance of the second element signal. The number of bits required for representing the first element reference distance information is smaller than the number of bits required for representing the second element distance information.
