MeterPlugs releases Loudness Penalty v2.0 - 30% off intro sale

MeterPlugs has released Loudness Penalty 2, a major new version of the plugin that shows you how online streaming services will adjust your music's loudness — and lets you preview the result without leaving your DAW.

A new realtime Block View puts the complete loudness picture in front of you: max true peak, integrated loudness, and loudness range, at a glance. In Preview mode it also shows how each streaming service will adjust your gain, and what that does to the overall picture — whether your peaks will clip, and whether your track will be turned up or down.

Version 2 also emulates Spotify's Loud-mode limiter. When Spotify listeners select the "Loud" volume preference, quieter songs are turned up and a limiter steps in to prevent clipping. Loudness Penalty 2 shows that gain reduction in realtime and lets you hear exactly what the limiter removes, so you can decide whether you're happy with the result before you upload.

New features in version 2

• Realtime block view: Max true peak, integrated loudness, and loudness range at a glance.
• Spotify Loud limiter emulation: See and hear what Loud mode removes from your music, with a delta preview of exactly what's being taken away.
• New Loudness Penalty scores: Spotify Quiet, Loud, and YouTube Music.
• Resizable UI: A new compact list view that fits any session.
• Lock scores: Measure your track, lock the scores, and then preview without your scores drifting.

Loudness Penalty 2 supports YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Deezer, and Pandora.
