| Feb 3, 2020 at 0:28 | comment | added | NReilingh | Speaking as OP, I greatly appreciate your input since it provides new information that was not mentioned before. Speaking as a former mod, I will also tell you that on this and most other Stack sites, 50 years of experience alone does not get you upvotes and reputation — being skillful in composing well-written and thorough answers that share your expertise does. People downvoted you because they interpreted your answer as incomplete or not helpful. I would be very happy to see you engage with this community by revising your answer with an edit to make it more thorough. That's up to you! | |

Your styling of LUFs with the lower-case 's' was confusing here, which is why I interpreted it to be a pluralization and got to the wrong google result. And given what the real definition is, I still don't understand why it's lowercased in your answer.

| Jan 27, 2020 at 23:11 | comment | added | edwina oliver | The answer is totally correct and adds other valuable info. personal attacks do not change my 50 years in audio nor my knowledge of how thing work. | |
| Jan 27, 2020 at 22:57 | comment | added | Mark | And yet the answer is still wrong, doesn't address what the OP asked for and obviously comes from a place where the writer knows very little about the output chain and compression chains used in radio stations but has probably spent 10 minutes googling "LUFS" which means it's going to appear in every single answer. Just be aware any up- or down-votes you get are not from "cowardly stalkers" they are from community members that are voting on the usefulness and quality of your answers. Nothing more, nothing less. My recommendation is to stop taking it all so personally. | |
| Jan 26, 2020 at 21:30 | comment | added | edwina oliver | And yet another cowardly stalker downvotes an absolutely correct answer. All TV and radio stations are using LUFs or similar standards to avoid the loudness wars as well as commercials being too loud. NPR has a tutorial on it. | |
| Jan 26, 2020 at 21:28 | comment | added | edwina oliver | Goggle gave me this as the first item: LUFS is a term for Loudness Unit Full Scale, which allows the measurement of loudness of a piece of audio without a reference, whereas a decibel measurement requires the reference of standard air pressure, against which to measure the air pressure generated by the audio. you need the s on lufS. | |
