Hello all,
If you have the time, take a look at this screenshot.
Plugin Chain - TDR Limiter 6 GE - Loudness Meter
As you can see, they both display different integrated values. Which one is correct? Or is it user error.. This is problematic as lately I've been aiming to master my voice overs to -15 LUFS (Youtube), if the Logic meter is off, then I'm going to clip my work getting the volume up.
PS- I used the reset button on both plugins.
What say ye?

Limiter 6's Meter passes all official EBU r128 tests (https://tech.ebu.ch/publications/ebu_loudness_test_set). And we haven't hear many complains yet.
I'd first expect a user error, is "Pause" pressed maybe? Or does logic's meter maybe offer a way to turn off gating (Limiter 6 uses gating as recommended by the standard)?

Pause was not pressed. I cannot tell you about gating, however the logic plugin is very simple and has no menus that I'm aware of. Interestingly, I downloaded a free loudness meter from HOFA and it matches Limiter 6 pretty closely. I think I'll stick to TDR for my loudness needs.

After reaching out to the Logic community, we discovered that TDR sums the mono signal to Dual Mono and Logics stock meter does not (when inserted on a mono channel strip). This was checked on the stereo out.

Good find! We'll fix that asap. Seems we totally overlooked the mono case, of course we shouldn't turn the meter input into dual mono!
