A few steps must be taken to ensure that the loudness measurements made in Logic Pro match the measurements made in the Dolby Atmos Renderer and other tools:

-The Loudness plug-in must be inserted after the Dolby Atmos plug-in

-The Monitoring Format in the Dolby Atmos plug-in must be set to 5.1 for the duration of the loudness pass

To measure the loudness of a mix, set the playhead to the beginning of the mix, reset the Loudness plug-in, press start in the Loudness plug-in and play the mix in its entirety. Use the Integrated Loudness measurement (in LUFS).

True Peaks can be metered by placing the metering plug-in after the Dolby Atmos plug-in. 5.1 should be used as the Monitoring Format for determining maximum True Peak levels as well.
