Where to get itAvailable from Goodhertzgoodhertz.com

Loudness is a real-time metering plugin that measures and displays loudness levels in multiple standards (LUFS, RMS, Peak, and True Peak) with integrated gain adjustment. It provides visual feedback through a large metering graph, histogram, goniometer, and summary table, enabling precise loudness targeting for broadcast, streaming, and mastering workflows. The plugin includes automatic gain-adjustment suggestions and stereo balance monitoring to help achieve target loudness specifications across different delivery formats.
