01Overview

pure:level is built for producers who need a steady starting level before mixing. Its analysis listens to the incoming audio and smooths out short-term swings, so a vocal, dialogue line or instrument stays at a consistent loudness. A small set of controls sets the target position in the mix, and changing that target moves the already balanced signal without reshaping its dynamics. The plugin is available for Windows and macOS in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats.

03In depth

How pure:level stabilizes levels

The plugin analyzes the input signal and applies dynamic level riding to compensate for short-term fluctuations. Rather than simply squashing peaks, it holds the signal around its natural level, which helps the track sit in the mix without an obvious pumping or compressed character.

Another design choice separates leveling from placement. Level stabilization happens first, and the target control then moves the balanced signal to the position you want. Because the dynamics stay untouched when you adjust the target, you can reposition a part without reworking how it was leveled.

Group feature for layered tracks

The group feature lets you treat several tracks as one element. Each track is stabilized on its own, while the output gain is synchronized across the group. This suits backing vocal stacks, guitar layers and multi-track recordings where the parts need to stay balanced relative to each other.

Because every track keeps its own stabilization, the individual nuances of each part remain intact while the group moves together.
