![]() ![]() If you do not aim a specific loudness range the RMS Standard is also pretty valuable. My personal favorites are RMS K-12, RMS K-14 & RMS K-20, since they really make it easy to adjust your final mastering limiter. ![]() In the middle of the top bar you’ll find a preset menu with a bunch of useful settings. Right next to it, you can delay the meter’s visual reaction (this can be especially helpful while working on projects with a big buffer size). In the top-left corner you’ll find the reference level, which is pretty useful if you’re going for a specific loudness range, like -14 dB for example. This is how tot GUI looks like by default: Top Bar The plugin’s default design looks stunning and all knobs work fine. I opened up the plugin using my DAW of choice and everything seemed to work correctly. So right after finding out about the mvMeter2, I started the download and initiated the installation process, which was – as with most plugins – quite easy. To learn more, read our full review below. Being available both Windows and OSX, the plugin can be downloaded for free via. It comes with multiple measuring modes, including PEAK, RMS, EBU R128, VU or PPM and a bunch of useful workflow parameters. You’d see that average and all peaks within the meter range.īut anyway… it makes sense but isn’t really labeled or explained that well.The mvMeter2 by TBProAudio is a metering plugin, which visually reminds of an old VU meter. Mixing for streaming with an average of -16LUFS for example might make sense though. On the other hand your average signal will be below what the meter is showing since the lowest part is -20VU, not -24VU. ![]() But if you’re using default the peaks all fit up to 0VU because that’s 0dBFS practically speaking. And if you have a loud passage where the average is about -18 for example then any peak 3dB louder than that will peg the meter. So if your average is -24LUFS then all peaks at or above -15 will peg the meter far right. Because you have 3dB above 0, and then you have (-24)-(-18) below that. By this I mean that if you’re mixing a TV show for example and you need to hit -24LUFS (which is a sort of (average’) then using a ‘normal’ -18dBFS = 0VU calibration your meter headroom is only 9dB. So I suppose it’s a somewhat useful default if you want the ballistics of a VU meter but also want to see more of the signal. Since our “-18” = 0VU a signal of -6dBFS is far higher than the additional 3dB we have available above 0VU on the meter (because -6 is 12 hotter than -18). When switching to VU dBFS the reference level is what you set using “offset” and it ‘shifts’ the entire scale accordingly, so that if you set it to -18 for example that same input signal of -6dBFS no longer “fits” on the scale. So it’s a 1-to-1 situation: an input of -6dBFS average will read -6VU on the meter. It looks like the meter when set to default basically just makes -20VU the ‘reference’, and it then shows absolute level measured as VU. I think the labeling is likely not very good here. ![]() Maybe someone knows that the “VU db” scale in broadcast standards is., Tbh, I am not sure what that even is, I mean, “dB” what? What reference level? The supervision manual just states “the scale allows you to select a scale according to different broadcast standards”., no more explanation. The default scale in Supervision is “VU dB”. ![]()
