If memory serves, Orban has a free loudness meter that complies with several standards. The source isn't open, but I suspect if you ask nice, Bob might share. ( or possibly allow a wrapper, or some such ) If there's one thing you can count on, Bob Orban does it right ! ( unless he disagrees with Frank Foti, in which case more than likely, they are both more right than the rest of us ) Failing that, the multiple standards isn't necessarily a bad idea.
