Free fully-featured demo · VST3 · AU · macOS & Windows · Zero-latency, analysis-only
Peak, RMS and the crest that shows your real dynamic range. Balance and correlation for the stereo picture. LUFS and true-peak for delivery. Meeter puts every number that matters on one rail, with the classic peak-and-RMS ballistics engineers trust and a null-clean, zero-latency signal path.
Peak and RMS with true analog-style ballistics and the AES-17 convention, so your numbers line up with the reference meters you already trust. The centre column shows a slow-averaged crest, the floating dynamic-range readout that tells you how much life is left in the master.
Momentary, Short-term and Integrated LUFS to ITU-R BS.1770-4, with gated K-weighting. True Peak in dBTP with 4x oversampling and an over count, so inter-sample peaks can’t sneak onto a print. TP flashes red the moment an over is caught.
Flip the whole rail from Left/Right to Mid and Side, switch RMS for LUFS, and re-skin from light to dark. It re-reads instantly, so you can check the master the way you need to and match the meter to your room. Every mode is one click, and the look is saved with the plugin.
Meeter reports zero samples of latency and nulls silently against a bypassed copy. It reads your audio to draw the meter and passes it through untouched. The only time it adds delay is while you are auditioning true-peak overs, never on a clean pass.
Fold the output to mono, solo the side, flip the channels or isolate just the overs, so a clean pass auditions as near-silence and only the clipping speaks. Every fold is opt-in and off by default, and metering always reads the true, pre-monitor input. Your print stays untouched.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Peak + RMS | True analog-style ballistics with the AES-17 convention, so your numbers match the meters you trust. |
| Dynamic range | A floating, slow-averaged crest readout, the loudness dynamic range that reveals how much life is in the master. |
| Balance | Left/right energy balance, 12L to 12R, drifting toward the louder side. |
| Correlation | Phase correlation from minus-one to plus-one, fine-grained for confident mono checks. |
| LUFS loudness | Momentary, Short-term and Integrated to ITU-R BS.1770-4, gated K-weighting. |
| True Peak | dBTP with 4x oversampling and an over count. Turns red on an over. |
| Stereo / M-S | Flip the outer meters between Left/Right and Mid/Side. |
| RMS / LUFS | Switch the whole rail between RMS metering and LUFS loudness. |
| Monitor folds | FLIP, L, R, Mid, Side and an overs delta, all opt-in for checking. |
| Zero latency | Analysis-only, bit-identical pass-through, nulls against a bypass. |
| Light / Dark | Re-skin the whole rail. The theme is saved with the plugin. |
