BUTE Loudness Analyser 2 (STEREO) - Signum Audio

Product Description

Smart loudness metering plugin at the heart of BUTE Loudness Suite 2

Loudness standards are usually part of a delivery specification and since this is the last step in post-production it's a time-critical issue for most projects. Signum Audio tools help to meet specifications with ease. Even if you don't need to hit specific specifications you might still want to loudness master for your target platform (e.g. Spotify, or youtube), Signum Audio's tools help with that as well. The BUTE Loudness Analyser 2 is the backbone of Signum Audio's range of loudness solutions, and an essential tool for those working in post-production for broadcast, music, gaming, podcasts, film, sound design and radio imaging. It offers high-end quality at great value.

Bute-ifully crafted for an improved workflow

The BUTE Loudness Analyser 2 has been beautifully designed to deliver unparalleled levels of insight into your audio files with accurate and customisable readings. Advanced features like automatic re-metering, customisable warnings, an interactive navigation overview and window, and reloadable session data. These workflow-driven features make it particularly useful for long-form content.

Master Smarter

With the high precision metering algorithms, you can rest assured that your audio will meet your clients delivery specifications and sound as it should. With its range of useful workflow features, configurable meter readings for short-term and momentary loudness, true peak and traditional RMS, and the latest broadcasting and streaming standards included as presets, Signum Audio's loudness meter makes your mixing and mastering journey much simpler.
