fuzzfilth Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Well, it's not here ? Levels are pretty much identical. Edited May 16, 2022 by fuzzfilth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power of a signal is proportional to the surface between the waveform and the center line, so at equal amplitude (the peak level measured by the tools as Christian showed), a square wave is more powerful than a sine wave. The RMS measurement is closer to the loudness we're hearing, so try using the "Level Meter" set to RMS and you'll get a higher RMS value for the square than the sawtooth. You can get similar results with a loudness meter that measures LUFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
