9.2 Loudness measuring. Leq(m).
Unlike the normal PPM-bargraphs the loudness meter measures the audio
level over time for the length of an audio clip or entire feature. It mimics the
varying sensitivity of the human ear at different frequencies. The displayed
measurement are readout in dB and this number could be interpreted as an
‘annoyance factor’. If the material occasionally contain a loud sound the
reading will result in a low reading, otherwise if the loud sounds are relatively
constant the result will be a higher reading.
Since the Leq(m) value is the sum of all channels over time (up to 8 channels),
it can with a traditional Leq(m) meter be very difficult to determine where a
signal level should be adjusted in order to reach the correct Leq(m) level if the
total Leq(m) value for an audio clip is to high or low. The 'Graphic Loudness
Meter' is capable of drawing a graph of the loudness session, making it easier
to see where levels could be adjusted in order to reach a correct Leq(m) level.
