2.1.2. Loudness type

---

Limiting can be applied across a variety of loudness types. Each loudness type supports channel-split or channel-linked processing. Channel-split treats each channel independently, while channel-linked integrates across all channels.

Three of the supported loudness types use a popular modern measurement standard for perceived loudness called LUFS. These loudness types are momentary (400ms window), short-term (3s window) and Integrated (infinite window).

There are also two peak loudness types (True Peak and Peak) as well as traditional RMS. True Peak is an improvement on peak which takes into consideration waveform behavior between samples, which allows it to properly respond to inter-sample peaks. Peak mode loudness types use a blocksize window.

Integrated loudness type window can be reset by pressing the reset button.
