@cclarry, I use this all the time, it is a great way to see how the services will adjust your mix. I just downloaded the plugin version and interested in how this works to pinpoint the spots where things get out of hand. I use it along with Gullfoss, Ozone 8 and Tonal Balance Control.

Here's another online loudness analyzer if you just want to check the loudness of your mix.  Just click "Analyze From File" and drag your MP3 or whatever onto the page.

I used it so much, I ended up buying the plug in when it was on sale.  When I get instrumental 2 tracks from clients that are brick walled so hard I can't possibly fit vocals on top, I can use it to educate them, or use it to back up my request for more headroom.  

 

And I'm not afraid of loudness or even distortion, but there's a time and a place for everything.
