Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro is a comprehensive audio analysis plugin designed to provide precise control and monitoring of audio signals. It offers highly customizable peak, RMS, and crest factor meters, allowing users to tailor almost every aspect of the metering experience. The plugin includes five default scales, such as Bob Katz's well-known K-System scales, and supports user-defined scales for personalized monitoring preferences.

The plugin features detailed visual statistics including large colored displays and histograms that measure dynamic range accurately. Its graphical interface tracks audio envelope evolution over time and includes a mid-side switch for easy verification of mono compatibility and stereo imaging. Suitable for mono, stereo, and surround formats, this tool integrates smoothly into diverse production workflows, offering flexibility with its modular user interface and zoom capabilities.

Beyond metering, DP Meter Pro supports advanced side chaining functions by converting envelope data into MIDI CC messages and automation curves. Users can manipulate and combine these envelopes in real time to control other effects, enabling creative applications like side chain ducking and compression. The plugin also supports VST3 MIDI outputs and program changes, retina displays, and remembers presets, making it a powerful and adaptable solution for detailed dynamic analysis and control.
