zplane PPMulatorXL

Full Description

Compliance with industry standards

PPMulatorXL operates as a standalone program or as a plug-in for your Windows or Mac DAW. It is fully compliant with the latest industry standards for loudness metering, including EBU R 128 Loudness metering and ITU-R BS.1770-2 True Peak metering. This ensures that your audio meets the industry-approved levels for TV, film, and radio.

Support for different audio setups

The program supports mono, stereo and even surround-sound audio metering, making it perfect for mastering engineers and projects such as albums, film scores, and soundtracks. The display is highly adjustable and scalable, allowing you to customize it to your liking.

Customizable interface

With up to 19 different needle and bar displays for the selected meter, you can have an interface that's familiar for faster workflow. The colour-coded, text-based meters deliver superb clarity for monitoring your audio's peaks and relative loudness. You can even expand or reduce the meter's footprint on your screen and change it to the desired sound. Simply click on the small plus sign in the display window to access the settings page, where you can select one of six peak program meter types.

Lightning-fast batch processing

PPMulatorXL offers lightning-fast batch processing. The peak log contains valuable timecode information on all peaks found in your metered audio files. This makes it easy to identify and correct any issues with your audio's loudness levels.

An indespinsible audio tool

Whilst not as glamorous as a new compressor or EQ plug-in, a vital metering tool is just as important in the studio. A versatile plug-in, PPMulatorXLR lets you meter your audio against widely used broadcast and post-production specifications for film, TV and radio. The ballistics of the meters and the accurate displays work well in practice. Additionally, the range of different metering styles and requirements relieve you of needing to recalibrate operating levels when checking you audio against different broadcasting regulations.
