Loudness Metering Window Explainer
Enter a programme length and see how many momentary (400 ms), short-term (3 s) and integrated measurement windows it contains — and which metric to trust for what.
EBU-Mode metering reports three time scales: momentary (400 ms) for catching transient peaks, short-term (3 s) for riding levels during a mix, and integrated (the whole programme, gated) for the single delivery number. Specs almost always judge the integrated value; momentary/short-term are mixing aids and short-form Max-ST limits.
