Default Utility for measuring average decibels across a collection of sound files?

Orban, the sound processor people used by just about every radio
station have a desktop sound meter for PC or MAC. One of its meters is
a pretty good perceived loudness meter. Give that a go, and you may
find it tells you what you need to know, even if you then have to make
the changes yourself.


But does that meter look at the entire track before giving a reading? That
appears to be a requirement.

As regards giving an indication of loudness at any one point in time, the
good ol' PPM takes some beating - provided you know how to read it.
