Dialogue Stem Loudness Checker

Measure a dialogue stem against the −27 LUFS region used as a dialog anchor in OTT mixing, with true peak ≤ −2 dBTP.

Dialog anchor practice (OTT) — target -27 LUFS (±2 LU), true peak ≤ -2 dBTP

Running the BS.1770 measurement on a solo'd dialogue stem approximates a dialog-gated measurement of the full mix. It's a standard pre-delivery trick: stem reads −27 ±2 → the dialog-anchored programme measurement will be close.
