Waves VU Meter: VU Meter Plugin
Digital meters are fine for showing peaks
but an analog VU meter’s moving needle ballistics accurately reflect audio’s average signal level. This correlates far more closely with how our ears perceive musical energy
giving you insight into perceived levels and helping you achieve better mixes and masters.
The challenge for this plugin wasn’t modeling sound
but mechanical realism. That challenge has been met—with the most accurate software emulation ever of the venerable VU meter.
Features:
- Averaging out short peaks shows real-world dynamics characteristics
- Smoother than the jittery readings from DAW meters
- Calibrate headroom to your DAW’s reference level
- Negligible CPU: Insert on as many channels as you want
- Reveals audio characteristics that lead to better mixes
- LED-style clip indicator lights at levels above -0.009 dBFS
- Scales for Volume Units and dB (based on reference adjustment)
- Choose the stereo version’s meter size: small medium or large
