7. When the analysis is complete, close the Loudness Radar settings.The Loudness Radar won’t change the audio level. It gives you a precise measure of Loudness
that you can use to guide changes you’ll make to the mix.
You can change the measurement levels indicated by the various bands in the Loudness Radar by
clicking Settings. You can also use a preset, based on widely used standards, by choosing the
Presets menu.
If you set level automatically using the Essential Sound panel you are likely to produce a mix
that is within appropriate limits for broadcast. Still, nothing compares to a professionally
produced audio mix where levels for each clip are checked.
