Re: Metering LKFS Options
LUFS and LKFS are pretty much the same thing, apart the latter has K-weighting, the EBU actually have asked ITU to rename it LUFS.
As for the LM5D, this actually offers no advantage over Nugen, it requires TDM hardware (let's face it, it's dead and won't be updated), costs more, doesn't offer EBU mode and won't show a log linked to your Pro Tools timeline (Nugen will support this soon).
Yes, the radar looks nice, but having a graph is actually exactly the same and loudness over the duration of a programme can easily be read. I also believe it's cheaper.
Also of note, zPlane intend to update their fantastic PPMulator+ with loudness metering.
And garnoil, Nugen doesn't do DialNorm. The LM5D does "centre of gravity" which apparently equates to DialNorm, but none of the others do, including DK hardware meters.
