7.1.3 Meter
Selecting the Meter button will reveal a pair of the STATS in the text display. Use
the encoders to select which pair to see in the display.
The rst time you select a pair, their names are shown, followed by the units. The
next time you press Meter, only the values will be displayed. Press Meter again
for a reminder of what descriptor pair and units are currently shown.
The pairs are:
• • Integrated Loudness (I) LUFS, and Max True-Peak dBTP
• • Peak-to-Loudness (PLR) dB, and Loudness Range (LRA) LU
• • Short term Loudness Max (3 sec) LUFS, and Momentary Loudness Max

• • PPM Peak Hold for left and right channel, dBFS True-Peak
Holding the Meter button will reset the STATS. The STATS are measured after the
plug-in is inserted, after the last Reset, or the DAW project load. You can also
press Reset on the plug-in GUI to clear the measurements.

Loudness (Loudness Limiter) to the left encoder, and the Limiter Release to the
