"Worksheet","Check loudness gain against the true-peak limit before rendering","Evidence status","Your configuration"
"Purpose","Estimate the gain needed for the requested loudness, then check whether that gain would exceed the allowed peak. Render and measure the result because dynamics processing can change both.","Proposed workflow",""
"Check","Question to record","Decision","Your observation"
"Loudness","Program measure and target","Defines intended gain change",""
"True peak","Maximum reconstructed level","Constrains available headroom",""
"Final encode","Rendered result","Verify after processing",""
"Example","With invented measurements, a program at −20 LUFS needs +4 dB to reach a requested −16 LUFS target. If its true peak is −2 dBTP, that simple gain predicts about +2 dBTP. The target would need a different processing decision to respect a lower peak limit. These are teaching values, not a universal delivery prescription.","Illustrative; not a measured product result",""
