This measurement helps you to decide how much compression or expansion must be applied to the audio.
An asterisk ( ) after a loudness range value indicates that less than 1 minute of audio was analyzed.
Min. shows the minimum loudness range value in LU. Max. shows the maximum loudness range value in LU.
