LUFS values continue to be calculated while in Pause and the first new value after
pause resumes will reflect this.
Reset Clears the values whether running or paused.
Restart Clears the values and restarts whether in pause or running.
Note: If used with the Shift modifier the LIaR controls also affect ALL the History graphs.
LRA Curve
The purple LRA curve (and the other measurements) is refreshed every second, and plots the amount of time the
output is at a given Loudness (vertically) against the Loudness, in LUFS (horizontally) The width of the filled space
below the curve represents the LRA.
Context Menu
LIaR has a right-click context menu with these entries:
Copy Data To Clipboard Copies the LIaR data to the Windows Clipboard (to ease export to MS Excel, etc.)
Copy All Data To Clipboard Copies all FinalCheck Meter data to Windows Clipboard.
History Graphs
All the meters except Phase and Spatialization have the option of a History Graph. This shows the values over
time. The data recorded can be copied to the Clipboard and used in other applications such as Microsoft Excel to
produce graphical or numerical reports. Currently, the History Graphs are most useful where a Project or Song is
played continuously from beginning to end.
Loudness History Graph
Arguably the most useful of the History Graphs, the Loudness History has three color bands, dark-blue, light-blue
and red. The transition thresholds are determined in the Setup page.
Context Menu
