A plugin to measure and adjust the loudness similar to the human perception of loudness. It also provides a unique and fast way to create initial faders up mixes. All versions of the LUFS Meter are contained in one single plugin. At first it operates as the Evaluation LUFS Meter.
The APU Loudness Limiter is a real-time limiter designed to support multiple loudness types simultaneously. The limiter can be configured to use LUFS, True Peak, RMS, and/or Peak loudness types. This allows you to target multiple requirements simultaneously, such as a specific LUFS target and a specific True Peak target. Internally, the ballistics of the limiter are adjusted to accommodate the different loudness type limiter settings.
The APU Dynamics Optimizer is a dynamics optimization tool designed to support modern loudness types (LUFS, True Peak). Underneath the hood, the optimizer uses the same compression engine as the APU Loudness Compressor, but benefits from the full audio waveform instead of real-time measurements. This allows the gain envelope to be meticulously optimized across the entire waveform. The design of this tool allows you to very precisely target a specific average LUFS and dynamic range. Once the gain envelope has been optimized, you can playback the result in real-time while adjusting the character of the sound with the same collection of parameters from the compressor plug-in.
Metra is a high-end real-time analysis and metering plugin built for engineers who need absolute confidence in loudness, dynamics, and stereo image. Designed strictly as an analysis tool, Metra never alters your audio – its sole purpose is to deliver clear, reliable information when critical decisions matter. It brings together professional level, dynamics, stereo, and loudness metering in one unified interface, featuring Sample and True Peak, PPM, RMS and VU, Dynamic Range and Crest Factor, stereo correlation and balance, goniometer and Lissajous displays, as well as fully standards-compliant loudness metering including LUFS, LRA, PLR, PSR, and optional Dialogue Integrated Loudness. Everything you need to confidently monitor modern mixes, masters, and broadcast deliverables is always in view. Inspired by the clarity of classic 1980s plasma meters and powered by modern measurement standards, Metra combines exceptional visual readability with state-of-the-art loudness compliance – making it equally at home in music production, mastering studios, and broadcast environments.

CGII is comprised of two uniquely complementary dynamics enhancement sections, a new True Peak Limiting stage, DC blocking and dither with LUFS/true peak metering via spiffy tube filament displays, all operating at up to 16x over-sampling (or none at all – depending on your tastes). The design prioritizes musical integrity and ease of use, with the ability to add effective loudness, weight and definition without diminishing spatial depth and visceral impact the way traditional dynamics processors often do. Use CGII to make your masters loud without losing the clarity, density and heft of the original mix. Even if you are working with a mix that is already loud, you can give it a little extra, without adding unpleasant distortion and without flattening out the material and sucking the life out of the low end. At the same time you can control the true-peak level of the program to ensure that there are no inter-sample overs.
Yuri Semenov: YS – MY VoxBox_ Audio plugin for mixing. This is not an exact copy of the famous device, but its basic characteristics from the user manual were taken as a basis. The compressor has a switch for attack and release settings in a step-by-step mode with five fixed settings and smooth. XFRM adds harmonics coloring the sound. De-Esser can work in a full wide spectrum mode (Wide) of operation on narrow bands of the detector and divided into four narrow bands in the mode (Split) only for the selected frequency. In limiter mode, this module works like a classic L2a. Three-band equalizer has fixed frequency settings. Low and high frequencies are switched from “bell” to “shelf” Display of low and high frequency cutoff filter controls are switched by a toggle switch (Filter-EQ).
