FREE Loudness Meter VST Plugin Released by Youlean Youlean has released Loudness Meter, a new free VST plugin for loudness. A few days ago we posted an article in which I showed how Spotify and other online streaming services are more or less on a common course on loudness, accurate metering is almost unavoidable.

/best-free-bass-vst-reddit.html. In 2016, I created Youlean Loudness Meter as part of the KVR Developer Challenge (create the best free audio software).

To be honest, I was already fascinated with the new loudness measurement techniques but I was a bit stunned when I realized how expensive these types of plugins are. That was the moment I decided to build it by myself.

The proof that people loved it came really quickly – Youlean Loudness Meter was voted a clear winner of the KVR Challenge 2016.

After many lines of code and many hours, days and months later, I was able to bring to the users a new PRO version which implemented many useful options that will save your time and improve your workflow. Also, the PRO version will help me to fund the future updates for Youlean Loudness Meter and other plugins too!

1. TB EBU Loudness, part of the the BusTools 3 bundle, provides all the essential R.128 standard loudness and true peak measurements, with support for multichannel surround formats as well as stereo. The full-size plugin provides an optional history graph.

Tested and calibrated, this plugin guarantees the great accuracy of the measurements. Loudness graphs come with the ability to go through history and this will help you to pinpoint the problems in your measurements.
5. “Once I learned about loudness metering using LUFS, I was really fascinated. The problem was that the plugins for measuring it were (and still are) really expensive and there were no free ones that can get you started. So, I have decided to create a free loudness meter that will be even better than the most expensive ones.”.

The Latest Update

Free Loudness Meter Vst Plugin

I have added new Dolby dialog gated measurements so the Netflix preset is now supported. You can also see the dialog indication in the histogram too. Another new addition is integrated relative gate visualization in the histogram. Using that feature you can visualize what parts of the audio are influencing the calculation of the integrated loudness. More on that in future blog posts.

The standalone app got many new features like always on top, saving a project file and remembering window position. Note that preferences for the standalone app will be reset, so you will need to set up it again.

Loudness Standards – Full Comparison Table

Mastering audio these days needs to touch the loudness standards. This can be confusing since requirements differ from service to service, so I wanted to create a simple table containing all presets that are included in the Youlean Loudness Meter so you can easily find out what you need to do.

The table contains the official recommendations for different services. If you follow these recommendations you won’t have any trouble.
