true:level by Sonible

Ensure your music and audio content are perfectly prepared for release with Sonible true:level, the essential metering plug-in designed to help you achieve the optimal loudness and dynamics for any platform. Engineered in Austria by Sonible, true:level provides you with the precise data and insights you need to confidently publish your tracks.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Comprehensive Real-Time Metering: True:level offers real-time metering for critical audio characteristics, including Loudness (Integrated, Short-term, and Momentary LUFS), Loudness Range (LRA in LU), Dynamics (based on Peak to Short-term Loudness Ratio, PSR, in dB), and True Peak (dBTP), utilizing high-resolution oversampling. This detailed information is presented clearly, supported by target indicators so you can easily see if your track is meeting your desired values.
• Unique Loudness and Dynamics Grid: Visualize the crucial interplay between loudness and dynamics on an intuitive grid. The grid displays loudness on the vertical axis and dynamics on the horizontal, showing a green reference zone based on your selected targets. The Loudness & Dynamics Crosshairs indicate your track's integrated loudness and dynamics, turning green when they fall within the reference zone. This visualization helps you find the right trade-off when processing your audio.
• Extensive Reference Options: Compare your mix against industry standards and genre specifics.
  • Common References: Choose from a wide selection of predefined loudness standards for major publishing targets like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, YouTube, and broadcast standards such as EBU R128 and ATSC A/85. Dynamics references for various music genres (including Electronic, Hip Hop, Rock, Jazz, Latin, Pop, Metal, and more) are also available.
  • Custom Reference Tracks: Load up to 8 of your own audio files to use as reference tracks. True:level analyzes these tracks to create custom reference targets, allowing you to match the loudness and dynamics of your favorite mixes or ensure consistency across an album.
• Intelligent Level Check: If your track falls outside the chosen reference zone, the Level Check feature provides clear, text-based suggestions on what adjustments are needed to bring your levels into compliance. This guidance simplifies the final tweaking process.
• Confident Publishing: True:level helps you meet the specific loudness and true peak requirements of different platforms, preventing unexpected volume changes or loss of dynamics when your track is normalized by streaming services. Ensure your mix maintains its intended impact and dynamic range while sounding consistent across various playback systems.

True:level is an indispensable tool for mastering, especially for digital streaming. It provides the data necessary to achieve an appropriate loudness level while preserving the dynamic range of your final mix. It's also a valuable addition to your mixing workflow.

Available individually or as part of the Sonible Metering Bundle, alongside true:balance. true:level is compatible with Windows 10+ and macOS 10.12+ (Intel and Apple Silicon) and supports AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3 plugin formats.
