Mastering The Mix - Expose 2 -> Wrong info.... seems not reliable?

[Caine123]

hey guys, so i thought this tool is pretty well but checking multiple files out and it shows nonsense with 1 file, checked the project back and it is output gain at -0.3 db at the limiter. but Expose 2 shows 0....



or user error?

also some LUFS are at 3.2 and so on but clearly max is 8 and not below.

Are you sure that you are using a brickwall limiter? Open the file in an audio editor that can show the statistics of the file and double check if the file actually has 0dB sample peaks.

Regarding the LUFS, you seem to be looking at the 3.2 Loudness Units reading instead of the 9.5 Integrated LUFS and 8.0 Short Term LUFS readings. So seems to be user error in that case.

ahh sorry yeah about the LUFS it seems you are right.

with the output gain i double checked 2 files are at 0db but i checked the projects again and the limiter is at 0.3db and the other files are shown as 0.3db
