Loudness metering for streaming, club and broadcast

Less Meter reads loudness, true peak, correlation and spectrum in one window. Targets cover the streaming and broadcast standards plus club at -8 and festival at -6, and a normalization preview shows what each platform will do to your level.

EBU R128 loudness

Momentary, short term and integrated with histogram gating, plus loudness range.

True peak per BS.1770-4

Inter-sample peaks measured, with an over log that lists when and by how much.

Normalization preview

The readout says what the selected platform will turn your track down by, and the true peak after it does.

Reference A/B

Drop an audio file onto the window and its spectrum overlays yours as a dashed curve.

Correlation, balance, goniometer

Mono compatibility at a glance, next to the numbers.
