2.1.13. Makeup gain

---

The makeup gain parameter enables an estimated makeup gain for the current loudness contour type.

The amount of makeup gain is determined by the difference in ungated LUFS measurement between an unfiltered pink noise signal and the filtered pink noise signal. This gain is automatically interpolated between contours when appropriate.

Makeup gain is an estimate, you can adjust the output gain parameter to fine-tune the output level.

Makeup gain is reflected in the loudness contour visualization, unlike the output gain parameter.
