I would be nice if the numbers were in a column, so 3U/4U would be needed. I'm not going to change this RE to show large numbers, rather make a free one that would just show the measurements.chaosroyale wrote: ↑22 May 2021Maybe not even 4U.. there seems to be a lot of dead gray space in that UI - maybe just use all of that space for the numerical readouts?
I agree. Numbers are everything with LUFS metering and they can't be too big.
Looks very interesting!
That's OK, I'm just trying to argue. The measurements of this kind aren't live. You "record" a number of fragments and then take a time to deal with the results. The only thing live here is the graphical level meter, it's updated 10 times a second and it would be hard to present numerically.
I agree, maybe it's not too late to rename it, I'll look into that.chaosroyale wrote: ↑22 May 2021In that case - I would argue that you are not making a loudness meter, it's a loudness analyser tool.
This thing does its job well, let it be that way. I've had other tasks in mind, which I have to do often - adjust the levels to meet the various target requirements.chaosroyale wrote: ↑22 May 2021I'm not trying to be a dick - but I use loudness meters in my work all the time, they are really essential for my job, and the gold standard is THIS - and there is a good reason it is one of the most popular and highly-rated plugins in the world, free or not;
It can adjust the gain on the fly indeed, but it's not the intended purpose, I would not like if the volume was automatically controlled. The gain adjustments are based on the statistics collected to the moment.guitfnky wrote: ↑22 May 2021the functionality seems like it could be pretty useful, although I admit I don't quite get what some of the options do (e.g. does AGC adjust the gain just when you click the button, based on what it's already analyzed, or is it trying to act like a compressor, and updating on the fly?). the histogram window is pretty cool.
Yeah, but that's a different task. I am going to make a mixer with similar functionality. There are many devices that would be better off from adding loudness metering to them, compressors limiters etc.Billy+ wrote: ↑22 May 2021I would like to see something more like perception ab as a RE that can measure gain between stages to make level adjustment simpler. Obviously due to RE SDK restrictions IPC isn't an option but if someone could figure a method for automatic detection that would be a really helpful tool.
AB is interesting but for £110 it's not an option for me personally, I would rather continue using RE128 and manual adjustment.

Could anybody help me rename it? I have difficulties with English.
What do you think it should be called instead?
- Loudness Controller/Control
- Loudness Analyzer
- Loudness Normalizer
- Something Else
How about ‘Loudness Toolbox’ or simply ‘Loudness Buddy’?guitfnky wrote: ↑25 May 2021orthodox wrote: ↑25 May 2021Alright, I get it, there is definitely some confusion with the device name. People expect it to be what it is not.

Loudness Normalizer seems like a good fit. Controller sounds like it could be a compressor or limiter, so I wouldn’t use that. and Analyzer sells the device short, because it does more than just analysis.
or if you want something new, maybe something along these lines; LTA-19*—Loudness Target Assistant, or just Loudness Target Assistant?
* replace with your favorite number
The storm is over, calm came down on me.
