Heft

The true weight of loud.

Loudness meter: momentary (400 ms), short-term (3 s) and gated integrated loudness in LUFS, loudness range and 4x-oversampled true peak, against a target. Audio passes untouched.

How it is made

Original sOURnd meter implementing the published broadcast loudness method from its description: frequency weighting, 400 ms blocks with 75% overlap, absolute and relative gating, percentile loudness range and oversampled peak detection; bounded-memory histograms are its own design.
