I don’t use windowing. That’s actually only needed for real time display, e.g. display update at each second.
This means, all samples are summed and averaged.
I might go back to windowing when I want to exclude silences as it is e.g. done in the R128 recommendation.
However, the difference is not that overwhelming.
I’m sure that Steve will soon enable longer durations since Acx/Audible measure 60 s blocks for instance.
Until then:
