Klanghelm make the some of the highest quality plugins at the most reasonable prices I've ever seen for audio software. His plugins are a must have for all music producers.

 

learning of this tool, and a short clip how to use it, was definitely my AH-HA moment in computer audio. I still laugh at the paradox.

it was like the importance of... ... a VU meter to mixing

The skin is black but should be neon if you go by the skin dialog in the upper right edge of the gui. Funny!

 

at first I laughed with @superliquidsunshine .

I'm like, "why would i want to eq the signal that is controlling the metering?" as if this thing allows eq of "sidechain detector" like compressors... but THEN, I realized what this thing is supposed to be for.

huh... looks cool... not sure if I will want to add it to collection; however, I can see the use.

 

Yeah, update! Upgrading to deluxe version isn't necessary for now.

 

Why? Don't understand you. Deluxe is an expanded version of VUMT 2. So you can just not to use eqs or filtering, but this expanded version has more options, features and more metering options.

 

Awesome, definitely going to get the deluxe version. I have it on every track so the added features will definitely be useful. Here's hoping SDRR is next to get an update!

 

Their stuff is so affordable.
This company deserves more than this.

 

I want the VUMT Deluxe in the creme color haha......... \m/

 

agreed steve. standard version for me. I love the new 'meters only view' and resizing. I can run the tracks I am working on pretty unobtrusively. im a noob but a just a needle bouncing is the right amount of distraction for my eye. those super-duper-mega-viewer plugins are a lot for my eye. though I understand they are different

 

And what if I do want to keep using my other tools because they give me already a satisfied result? (talking about eq and filtering > Fabfilter Pro-Q2 and Cytomic The Drop) Just need VUMT for metering which is also its main goal.

 

VUMT & VUMT deluxe 2.1.

fixes/changes:

VUMT only:
- FIX: selecting another VU-mode than VUMT1 didn't have any effect

VUMT & VUMT deluxe:
- FIX: meter value readouts hadn't been reset when switching the meter type
- FIX: automation is now writable from the buttons on the GUI too
- FIX: when using Reaper's own preset menu and clicking "Reset to factory default" the default skin hadn't been set correctly
- FIX: when adding user presets, the preset list is being updated upon GUI reopen
- FIX: meter value readouts now return to "-inf." when no signal is passing through
- FIX: Wavelab: some parameters weren't recalled properly
- FIX: proper support for ASIO devices in Windows Standalone version
- CHANGE: when LINK is active, the right trim control now follows the left trim control, so when deactivating LINK again, the right trim control has the same setting as the left trim control
- NEW: green indicators around the L/R Trim knobs, that show the position of the underlying M/S Trim controls, when not at unity
- ensure bit-transparency when the plugin is used as a meter only (i.e. when the trim knobs, channel tools and FX are not in use)
- revised RMS meter:
- redesigned RMS scale for better visual feedback and better readability
- freely select the threshold, where the RMS meter goes into the red
- determine a comfort zone in the RMS meter
- added an integrated peak bargraph meter into the RMS mode
- added K-12, K-14 and K-20 scales
- option to let the RMS behave like an analog RMS meter, taking the properties of the needle into account (similar to the RMS meter behavior in VUMT 2.0, but smoother)
- when the analog option is off, the RMS meter shows the plain calculated RMS value

VUMT deluxe only:
- FIX: DYN EQ: when LISTEN was active, LPF and HPF were mixed up
- NEW: added K-weighting filter according to ITU-R BS.1770-1
- NEW: option to monitor the L or R channel either in-place or centered
- improved accuracy of the B-weighting filter in the high frequencies
- set factory default for the DYN EQ AMOUNT to 0
- NEW: HPF and LPF are available as 18dB filters now too

 

Yes, reread please my comment) vumt deluxe has more metering options. I'm not speaking about processing fx there, I'm speaking about expanded metering options)

 

Nice.

I know its not related to klanghelm but steinberg has a free pro loudness meter that can rival products costing several hundred euros and it contains all modern/broadcast loudness standards.
I dont know if it works with other daws but it does work with older cubase versions as well.

Try the new Youlean Loudness Meter))) free, different metering options, loudness history. The 1st place, winner of kvraudio this year. Gui soon will be updated and maaaany more
