Glad it helped.

This is why I always put the final meter(s) very last in the chain, even after I see the levels in Ozone (for instance).

I want to see how all the measurements interact in the end result.

If you use a separate meter system afterwards you see more of the Ozone end result.
Inside Ozone you see each effect .. but final meters shows what's happening at the very end, which can be different.

I get the LUFS concept, but I still want to see how that end result is affecting certain other aspects.

How close am I to zero, and how often?
How much dynamics do I have on a relative scale? During a given time frame and overall?
What's the Peak/Average ratio on the song?

Funny, but here, the RMS readings seem to correlate closely to LUFS in most real life tests. At least here (and kinda confirmed here):

One other thing to note, as mentioned in the video, LUFS is not really a mastering consideration, except to know how public standardized playback (TV,Streaming, etc) will alter the sound volume.

A CD or DVD likely has no LUFS effect. So if you want something louder/softer, you can. Depends on what you are mastering for. Songs do not get 'averaged' on CD.

I think of LUFS as a a broadcast spec more than a recording/mixing spec.
If I am wrong please tell me.
