A good radio mix will translate well on the VU meter
with a high level of percieved loudness, VU's are good
for comparing different mix and mastering settings.

If you mix for Television, all broadcast metering is VU
as this is what can be used for monitoring differing
levels on different program material. When a program
makes the VU go into red, it is turned down to the
standard of -3dB..

   I was wondering what the point of watcthing the percieved level is
especially when you want to watch for clipping. Why not just always watch
the peak level? Is there something you gain from seeing the average level?
I'm just a little blurry on it. Thanks!!
