Loudness significantly influences how we perceive music, often leading to the misconception that louder means better. In mixing and mastering, it is crucial to distinguish between actual improvements and mere increases in volume. Achieving this clarity requires listening with matched loudness, a skill that professionals develop over time to make informed decisions that truly enhance the sound quality.

This plugin offers an efficient solution by instantly and automatically matching the loudness levels of your audio before and after processing. It allows you to bypass processing chains or external analog gear, enabling clear comparisons of EQ, compression, and other effects. By removing the distraction of volume differences, it helps you focus on the real sonic changes, speeding up your workflow and improving decision-making during mixing and mastering.

To use the plugin, insert it at the start of the processing chain and select the pre-processing mode, then insert it again at the end of the chain in post-processing mode. Activating the loudness matching feature lets you toggle between the two signals with automatic delay compensation, ensuring accurate and seamless comparisons. This tool enhances efficiency with features like multiple loudness matching modes, fast A/B testing, and an optimized bypass function designed for professional mixing environments.
