Hello,
I'm new to PF, I wanna to conform my PF broadcast to the EBU R 128 -23 LUFS broadcast loudness standard.
How can I do?
Should I use the replay gain function?
How does the the replay gain works in PF? It's not clear to me.
Is it enought to set the kind of RG I want in the menu and then it's automatic?
And which is the right set up of the RG to target the EBU R 128 -23 LUFS standard?

thanks
Henry

You can use a dedicated VST DSP plugin with your output mixer channel to achieve this, there are several VSTs out there which implement this, eg.:
- StereoTool
- ToneBooster (Barricade)
- NuGen (Loundness Toolkit, ISL 2)

Yes, it might be useful to use ReplayGain in addiiton with this. ReplayGain implements the standard as defined here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain
BUT, ReplayGain is not the same as the EBU R 128 -23 LUFS broadcast loudness standard.
