it's not so much the loudness, but rather the musical dynamics that take center stage.
Setting the level to 0 dB sets the reference volume which no longer matches the maximum
level, as often used to be the case.
According to the program and audio material, three different meter scales can be used:
K-20 = 0dB reference (83dBSPL) at -20dBFS
K-20 is especially recommended when using audio with large dynamics like classical
music or film sound.
K-14 = 0dB-Reference (83dBSPL) at -14dBFS
K-14 is especially recommended for rock and pop productions or for Surround Sound.
K-12 = 0 dB reference (83 dBSPL) at -12 dBFS
K-12 is especially recommended for radio and television networks.
The corresponding scale for setting up the monitoring volume is calibrated with pink noise.
If you set pink noise to 0dB, you get a level of 83dB SPL, a volume reference that
originated in the film world.
Oscilloscope:
The oscilloscope displays the signal amplitude over the time curve.
