TRACT SPL Meter is a Waves utility plugin that monitors sound pressure levels inside the eMotion LV1 mixer and SuperRack plugin host. It offers A- and C-weighted readings, a maximum-level hold, a user-set threshold warning and CSV logging.
TRACT SPL Meter keeps sound level monitoring within the same environment where you mix. Rather than running a separate measurement application, you can watch current levels, see the highest peak reached and receive a warning when a set limit is crossed. Waves positions the plugin for live sound work, where a clear view of loudness during a performance matters. Logged readings can be exported to a CSV file, giving you a simple record of levels across an event.
The plugin shows the current sound pressure level on a large readout, so the figure is easy to read at a glance during a show. A maximum-level hold keeps the highest reading reached, which helps when you need to know how loud a set peaked.
You choose between A- and C-weighting depending on what you are measuring. Set your own SPL threshold, and the plugin gives a clear warning whenever the level goes over it.
TRACT SPL Meter can log SPL measurements continuously. The logged data can be exported to CSV, which lets you review levels after an event or keep a record for documentation purposes.
Because it runs inside eMotion LV1 and SuperRack, the meter stays in the same session as your mixing tools rather than requiring a second application.
