Visual Analysis: Loudness Profile

The Analysis window allows you to create and visualize a detailed loudness profile of your audio.

This feature remedies a shortcoming of real-time meters: With real-time metering, it is generally not feasible to monitor all parameters throughout the entire duration of your audio, so that it bears the risk of overlooking brief sound events, for example. The Loudness Profile, however, provides you with an overview and allows you to track loudness variations over the entire duration of your audio material.

You can use the loudness analysis as an orientation guide, prior to and during mastering, or for quality assurance purposes following a mastering session.

Tip

If you are a beginner, experimenting with the settings in the Analysis window can support your learning process by providing you with insight into audio characteristics and the effects of audio processing.

The feature is available both for audio files in the Audio Editor and for clips in the Audio Montage window.
