Let’s walk through them to quickly explain what each one shows us. The next thing to understand is that most meters use “EBU Mode” to show five different loudness metrics, as shown above in Insight. ![]() Loudness meters, like those found in the Loudness panel of Insight, are a modern way of measuring perceived loudness in a digital environment, and the unit they measure is known as LUFS-loudness units, full scale. ![]() Is loudness intrinsic to a file? Or is it dependent on the sound pressure level-SPL-in the air? Where do user volume controls factor in, and what about tonal balance and the personal hearing traits of the listener? You can read more about some of these complexities about loudness in this article, but for our discussion here, we’ll think about loudness as it relates to so-called “loudness meters.” Loudness seems like it ought to be a simple enough concept, but if we pry a little we can uncover some of its complexities. Let’s start by bringing some definition to those terms. One of the core questions we’ll need to address is, “how loud should I master?” To answer this though, we’ll need to have a good understanding of loudness, LUFS measurements, and the concept of normalization.
