#Vu meter plugin full#

I love to use this plugin on stereo busses with highly dynamic instruments, like guitars, drums, and keys, to get just the right amount of stereo spread and panning, as this plugin allows a ridiculous amount of accuracy and it’s super graphic, so it lets you know pretty quickly if you’re screwing up.Īnother cool thing is that it lets you save and recall individual presets for each side for A/B comparison or blend them. However, I’d advise you to be cautious beyond 1.50db because it can get pretty awkward and create phase problems. With the Stereo Tool, it is also possible to manipulate the stereo width of a stereo track, making it suitable for stereo imaging effects. This plugin lets you manipulate each side’s volume levels to match them, flip the polar phase, and control the left and right pan separately and globally. Flux’s Stereo Tool features everything you need to enhance the stereo image of your music. The name Stereo Tool fits perfectly with what this plugin can do. They’re good because of their comfortability and practicality. This type of meter gives you all of the above in one interface. This type of meter is critical if you mix in headphones because it helps you prevent frequency cancellations and unintentional phasing during playback. These are commonly seen in several EQ plugins and are excellent visual references during the tonal balancing stage when mixing or mastering. Shows you the relationship between frequencies between 20hz and 20khz, which is the range, or spectrum, of frequencies that are audible to human beings. Goniometer (Stereo Width) – shows you how your sound is distributed across the stereo field.

LUFS is the standard loudness scale in the industry because it gives you the most accurate representation of the listeners’ true perceived loudness.

LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) – judges the loudness of a signal based on a human’s perception of loudness.

High RMS levels mean a higher perception of overall loudness.

RMS (Root Mean Square) – judges the loudness of a signal based on its voltage.

True Peak – Gives you an accurate calculation of the maximum amplitude level of a signal.
