the bx meter can use A weighting ,never tried it but its probably a good rms meter for measuring loudness |

Babaluma - thanks man for taking the time to explain!
"A System"? does it matter what algorithm/standard is used for RMS?
if three RMS meters give 3 different readings it semms quite pointless! |

when i "master" things i measure mostly the main section in RMS or the loudest RMS values in the track and it pretty much gives a me good view on the loudness of the track. Pretty much works when i A/B my things with other new released tracks. I know what RMS means.

The perceived loudness depends on how you master the track in general, if you have nothing but a bass, meaning lows and low mids in a track your rms meter can read -5 and it still doesn't sound very loud. I don't read too much into it,
although I use it like you said in the loudest part of a track, just to see where I am... but I must say, it doesn't really tell me all that much...

rms meters treat all frequency the same, not our ears , it need weighting to be more accurate . as a experiment maybe just equing out the low end and highs with a linear phase eq could work better for comparing loudness of tracks with a rms meter
http://www.noisemeters.com/help/faq/frequency-weighting.asp
often in gears specs like noise floor its measured with A weighting it mean it take into acount only where our ear are more sensistive... they use A weigntning on lot of prosummer converters for example, it s not the true noise floor !
that make sense to use this like on the bx meter when used for measuring loudness, it can only be more accurate |

afaik only the bx meter have this option , it will show a different measure than usual rms meter but its a additional and usefull indicator of loudness when comparing tracks |
