defined in ITU-R BS.1770 [3], introducing the measures LU (Loudness Unit) and LUFS (Loudness Units, referenced to Full Scale)1; f) and that the level-gated measurement of Programme Loudness defined in ITU-R BS.1770 Equation (7) (which hence measures foreground loudness) is advantageous to improve the loudness matching of programmes with a wide .
ITU-R standard BS.1770: –BS.1770 defines a standardized loudness meter that permits the integrated loudness of a given program segment to be measured. –The goal for each program segments is to make its BS.1770 integrated loudness equal to the target loudness. –Because the loudness is integrated over the entire duration of a
For international broadcasting, the ITU-R9 BS.1770-2 standard for loudness measurement has recently been developed.10 It defines the equivalent loudness of an audio signal as its LUFS level, meaning Loudness Units relative to Full Scale.11 BS.1770-2 does a very good job in predicting subjective loudness.12 Loudness normalization based upon BS.1770-

The framework should include all the elements below: ͟The evaluation methods are cost-effective for the organization ͟Quantitative and qualitative data is being collected (at Basics tier, data collection must have begun)
̶The leading indicator of employee engagement is based on the quality of the relationship between employee and supervisor Empower your managers! ̶Help them understand the impact on the organization ̶Share important changes, plan options, tasks, and deadlines ̶Provide key messages and talking points ̶Prepare them to answer employee questions

which standard is used for metering. Targets, units, and metering algorithms change depending on the selected preset. At the top of the metering section you can find the reading for Integrated Loudness, the overall loudness in LUFS/ LKFS of the whole programme / track. At the bottom left of the Integrated Loudness section is a Target
