Greetings
I did an Analyze in the audio editor, global analysis, loudness tab, EBU R-128 tab,and at the top of the list it has the integrated loudness read out of the test, in this instance -8.5 LUFS (reference +14.5 LU)
My question is can anyone explain a little clearer what exactly does the (reference +14.5 LU) mean? I understand its showing LU Loudness Units, but I don’t understand what it means by “reference + 14.5” is that some setting somewhere in wavelab that loudness tests are based on?, I understand the concept of a reference, I just don’t understand where or why this particular reference is showing here.
