Trition Digital Enables Secure Sharing of Analytics Within Omny Studio

June 10, 2020 ~ jen

Triton Digital announced the expansion of user controls within its Omny Studio podcast management platform.

In addition to already providing granular user access on both the program and organization level, this expansion enables publishers to provide select users with analytics-only access. This restrictive permission allows publishers to share analytics with a wide range of recipients including cross-company teams, clients, and partners, while eliminating the risks that accompany full access, such as changes to organization or program settings.

“Through the continuous enhancement of Omny Studio we remain committed to providing publishers with the flexibility and control they need to streamline their podcast operations,” said Sharon Taylor, Managing Director at Triton Digital. “The addition of analytics-only user permissions enable publishers to efficiently share episode, program and/or organization level analytics with recipients of their choosing at an access level they are comfortable with.”

“The comprehensive and insightful analytics within Omny Studio play a key role in shaping our podcast strategy,” said Neil Cowling, founder at Fresh Air Production. “Having a wide range of user permissions within the platform enable an unparalleled level of sharing and collaborating within our organization that wouldn’t be possible with any other platform.”

Omny Studio is trusted by the world’s leading radio, podcast, news, and sports organizations including RADIO.COM, Cumulus Media, Mamamia, Gannett, Corus Entertainment, and more.

The Omny Studio platform is trusted by the leading radio, podcast, news and sports organizations from around the world, including Bell Media, CRP Radios, DigitalMDE, Grupo Bluradio, Cumulus Media, Stitcher, and more.

“With podcast familiarity and consumption on the rise around the world, we are seeing an increase in software adoption across all geographic regions,” said Sharon Taylor, Managing Director at Triton Digital. “We remain committed to providing the global digital audio and podcast industry with technology that is not only comprehensive and powerful, but also easy to use. Multilingual support is a key component of this strategy, and we look forward to continuously adding to the list of available languages in coming months.”

“Podcasting is a huge component of our overall digital audio strategy, and the Omny Studio platform and knowledgeable team have played a critical role in our success,” said Leo Carbonell, Head of Digital at Grupo Jovern Pan (Brazil). “The ability to use the platform in Portuguese has enabled us to meaningfully increase our efficiency, allowing us to create, edit, and share our content faster by a wide range of users from within each of our markets.”

Omny Studios Embed Player Now with More Languages

December 29, 2019 ~ jen

Omny Studio announced that its embed players, that are used around the world, are now available in multiple languages.

With the help of our impressively multilingual team, we enabled a number of new translations for the Omny Studio embed players over the last month. Translated player will be applied automatically based on the default language of the user’s browser.

Languages Include:

English
French (Continental French and French Canadian)
Spanish
Portuguese (Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese)
Japanese
Malay
Hebrew (with proper right to left text display)
More languages are coming, including Arabic

There were some interesting things they had to work out with certain languages. For example, the Japanese language version of the Omny Studios embed players say “Powered by Omny Studio” in English. This is because their translator said it looks more natural if those words remained in English.

Another interesting thing involves the progress bar. On Omny Studio embed players for languages that are read right to left, the progress bar still goes left to right. This decision was made because both Google and Spotify guidelines recommended it “as they refer to the direction of the tape being played, not the direction of time.”

Omny Studio Released Loudness Normalization Tool

April 30, 2018 ~ jen

Omny Studio has released a loudness normalization tool. Omny Studio customers can now apply loudness normalization settings to their published audio for each individual show or to their organizations as a whole.

The normalizations settings are configured by three values: integrated loudness in LUFS, maximum true peak in dbTP, and loudness range in LU. We also provide a range of presets based on various international standards and also service defaults. These include settings which adhere to Google and Amazon’s specifications for the Google Home and Amazon Alexa smart speaker devices.

Omny studios points out that Podnews conducted a loudness analysis of the top 100 podcasts. The analysis highlighted the lack of uniformity in regards to loudness across the podcasting space.

Omny Studio’s loudness normalization tool is intended to help address this lack of uniformity as well as adhere to the specifications that are required for smart speakers as they rise in popularity. You can listen to some clips on the Omny Studio medium post about this topic. Those clips give examples of the difference in loudness in audio.

On Omny Studio’s Medium post, you can listen to audio with Google’s loudness specifications, Amazon’s loudness specifications, and the EU’s loudness specifications. Compare those to the original un-processed audio, and a clip with the auto-leveling feature applies (and no loudness normalization).
