The HOFA plug-in is part of their free 4U Suite, so nothing is going to beat this one on price. The arcs of the rainbow all have different integration times: the outer ring shows loudness of the last 3s, every step inward triples the time span. Its 'Rainbow meter', based upon the 'Bendy Meter' concept of BBC Research, is designed to give the user continuous insight into recent loudness levels of the program material. Real-time versions can simultaneously display short-term and integrated loudness levels with or without Dialogue Intelligence. However, it only displays loudness in the EBU R128 standard, so for anyone outside the EBU Dolby Media MeterĪs an AAX plug-in for Avid Pro Tools, the Dolby Media Meter plug-in is designed to measure loudness in real time, allowing you to track levels during the mixing process to help meet network delivery requirements. Avid Pro LimiterĪlthough not primarily a loudness meter, its primary role is a true peak limiter plug-in it also includes a fully functional loudness meter with a histogram display. Here are summaries of each of the loudness meters in the poll in alphabetical order. What Were The Loudness Meter Plug-ins On The List? Where there any surprises in here for you? How did your prefered loudness meter do? Do share your thoughts and observations in the comments below. So I would be curious to hear what plug-iins weren't included in the pol so that you had to select the 'Other' category. I am very surprised the 'Other' category was in 4th place as I thought we had covered every loudness plug-in that can work in Pro Tools and can measure Momentary, Short Term and Integrated Loudness. I love the ability to colour code loudness bands and also its ability to instantly update the programmes integrated loudness when you remix just a small section.
My personal favourite, the Nugen Audio VisLM 2 in 3rd place.
I am less surprised that WLM Plus has done well, it is cost-effective and the inclusion of a true peak limiter makes it an even better buy. I much prefer the histogram display on either the TC Electronic radar or the Nugen Audio VisLM 2, but this top slot is testament to iZotope's popularity as a brand. My biggest concern is the way the histogram works, the window width stays the same and the time axis shrinks as you play through the audio. For me, Insight is looking very dated now and personally, I have never got on with the interface. I find it very interesting that iZotope Insight is the most used loudness meter.
