What it does, in detail.

LOUDEX PRO plugin: a big -14.0 LUFS reading, a tonal balance curve and a reference comparison: your mix next to a track you love
01

Your mix next to a track you love

Drop a reference track on the screen. The tonal balance draws both curves on top of each other, so you see at a glance where your mix has more or less energy.

02

Your reference, compared band by band, in an instant

Drop the reference and it's read in an instant. Press play and, from sub to air, LOUDEX PRO compares your mix with it in six bands and says where it has more or less tone, width and punch. The insight most meters never give you, so you know exactly what to fix, and where.

The EQ that gets you there

EQ TO MATCH draws the curve that would bring your mix to the reference's balance: above the line boost, below it cut. PREVIEW EQ plays your mix through it, so you hear the result before you touch your own EQ.

04

Compare the exact same moment, at the exact same level

Most meters match a reference on the loudness of the whole track, so a quiet intro or a long break throws the match off. Our new gain match algorithm only takes the parts of the tracks that matter, works out the real volume difference and matches them far more precisely. Click the reference's waveform and it follows your DAW, drop against drop, then HEAR REFERENCE switches over.

LOUDEX PRO plugin: a big -14.0 LUFS reading, a tonal balance curve and a reference comparison: one number, one verdict
05

One number, one verdict

Pick Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or Club. The screen tells you if that platform turns your track down, turns it up or plays it as it is, and if your peaks clear its ceiling. So you know before you release.

06

Squashed or too narrow? You'll know

True peak, punch (PSR) and loudness range sit next to the reference's, and the stereo meter says if your low end is mono. So you catch a squashed or narrow mix before anyone else hears it.
