Once you set -3dB, play the song. After the song finishes playing, Shift + Clic on the Maximum True Peak read number (the one that appears at it's right, not the -3dB you put).

Ah, the shift fixed everything. Maybe the manual should say shift + click and not only click then :-)

Thanks!

The manual isn't updated, I don't know why.

Loudness/peak/TP match

By clicking on measurement descriptions the current value with be matched with the
reference level.
Example: Max Peak (RMS) shows -6 dBFS, reference level shows -1 dBFS. If you click now
on the text "Max Peak", the gain value is automatically set to (+)5 dB. Now Max Peak should
show -1 dBFS.
This is very handy if you want to set the loudness/peak/TP to a certain reference level with
just a mouse click.
This doesn't work here in ableton live /windows. I set up a ref level (-3dbfs) and click on "maximum peak". Nothing happens. I expected that the qain is adjustet so that "maximum peak" would be -3db after that. Any idea or do I understand it wrong?
Please try shift+click.

Update to V1.2.8: RMS/EBU, corrected unit labels if offset active (dB/dBFS/LU/LUFS)

Hi TBProAudio,

just wanted to try out the plugins automation recording feature.
But I wasn't able to figure out how I could only install the 64 bit VST3 alone and not the rest of the pack as well.
Therefore I did not install anything at all.
Any way to get only the stuff I want and not just everything?
MeldaProduction has check boxes next to the Folder Selectors for VST2, VST3,...

Best Regards

Just click through the setup pages and use the default values. On the page "select components" just select 32-bit VST3 Plugin!

I made a mistake. Request is solved.

Update to 1.2.9:Fix for Reason 9.5 compatibility, TP Measurement optimizations

The A-weighting filter doesn't seem accurate at high frequencies, is this because of bilinear transform? Even if I set project sample rate to 192 kHz, the meter measures -16.3 dB at 20 kHz, while it should be -9.3 dB.

(https://archive.org/stream/gov.law.ansi ... 9/mode/1up has the correct values up to 100 kHz, which can also be checked on http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-dba-spl.htm)

Thank you for this, we will have a look.

Update 1.3.0:
- A/B/C-Weighting adjusted for better performance from 10k-100k

Once again thank you for pointing this out. In deed we used a biquad digital design to approximate the high cut filter which gives a lesser performance from 10k to 22kHz than the "ideal" curves.

We revised this design by using analog style filters (from CS-3301) which gives now a much better performance from 10k to 100k for all weighting filters including A-Weighting. The filter curves are described here.

Nice :D

The A-weighting curve looks much better now for sine wave input, thanks! (My Python implementation has the same problem, which I haven't fixed yet. :| )

I noticed the A curve is 3 dB up from the B and C curves at 1 kHz, though?

The spec I linked before has them all the same at 1 kHz (Table IV), same as Wikipedia's graph. Whether that should be 0 dB or -3 dB in your software, I don't know. Probably A should be dropped -3 dB to make it consistent with unweighted/B/C, and "RMS Averaged + 3dB" setting can be used to normalize any of them back up? I've always been confused about the conflicting definitions of dBFS/dBov.
