Loudness and True Peak metering

VisLM measures momentary, short-term and integrated loudness, and includes Leq(m) measurement in the TASA and SAWA variants. Its True Peak meter follows the ITU-R BS.1770 definition and measures inter-sample peaks, which helps you catch values that could cause distortion further down the chain.

Violations are logged against timecode in a scrolling history view and in optional data logs, so problem areas can be located and reviewed quickly.

ReMEM loudness memory and workflow

ReMEM stores loudness data for up to 12 hours, locked to a timecode received from your NLE or DAW. Minor edits or overdubs update the overall loudness figures without a full end-to-end re-measurement. Loudness data is saved with the session, so it can be recalled later.

Offline AudioSuite scans can be loaded into the real-time meter to pre-load loudness history. Full ReMEM functionality requires a timecode lock from the host.
