Metering Plugins
Hey all, I was wondering what if any of you use any metering plugins to assist in mixing and mastering? Thanks

Voxengo SPAN is my #1 metering tool, followed by iZotope's Insight and Meldaproduction's MMultiAnalyzer. I also use Adobe Audition for amplitude stats on mastered mixes.

You can get Brainworx bx_meter for $19 this month: https://www.plugin-allian...products/bx_meter.html
And if you have the $25 voucher it's FREE!!!
To top it off - of all the metering plugins Brainworx bx_meter is my favorite and a joy to use.
Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

I use the Klanghelm VUMT for VU metering. It works great and it's only like $29.

Thanks for all the great insight. Has anyone used LEVELS Metering by Mastering The Mix? It looked good but never used meters like this to mix besides to see if I was peaking. I went by my ears this whole time and feel like I've been missing out.

I'm a big fan of the Waves Dorrough meters. I'm also learning out to use Izotope Insight at the moment...

That Insight looks like some seriously deep sh*t!!! Like an electron microscope for your mix.

I took a close look at it when it first came out, but found it confusing and felt it didn't provide any information not already available via conventional metering. It's possible I just missed the point of it, which seems predicated on the assumption that presenting information in a novel way will somehow increase its usefulness.

I remember trying T-Racks like 10 years ago and really liking it, and that was before it had all the goodies that it has now. That T-Racks Max looks like it could be really cool to have.
