Sonible Metering Bundle

The Metering Bundle contains the plug-ins true:balance and true:level. While true:balance precisely monitors the spectral balance of your track, true:level enables you to keep an eye on the interplay of loudness and dynamics.

These new metering tools boast sonible’s intuitive interface design, interactive visualization and straightforward, no-fuss approach. While true:balance precisely monitors the spectral balance of any track, true:level enables users to keep an eye on the interplay of loudness and dynamics.

Sonible’s new metering plug-ins, true:balance and true:level, radically improve and streamline
audio workflows. Both plug-ins feature a range of target-oriented reference options that draw from a vast amount of audio data and hands-on mixing experience. Catering to the practical needs of users with varying levels of expertise, these reference options are designed for maximum consistency and efficiency.

true:balance – Keeping tabs on spectral distribution

With true:balance, users have access to all the information and guidance they need for a well balanced mix. An adjustable spectrum analyzer displays both the real-time spectrum of the input
signal and the average spectrum over time. To meet listening expectations, true:balance allows to compare the spectral distribution of a mix in reference to either different genres or custom
reference tracks. 

The plug-in’s ability to display level-values—in the lows, mids, and highs—relative to the chosen reference, lets the user focus on the overall balance of their mix and avoids the distraction of too many details. At a quick glance, target indicators show whether input signal levels are close to the suggested values of the reference. For those who appreciate additional guidance, a Balance Check suggests what actions to take in order to achieve a distribution similar to the chose reference. For precise insight into the proportion of the left and right channels and consequently the mono compatibility of a mix, true:balance also sports a channel data section with all the essential info concerning stereo width and correlation values.

true:level – Closely monitoring loudness and dynamics

By popular demand, sonible has developed true:level as a stand-alone metering plug-in based on smart:limit’s extensive loudness and dynamics monitoring section. Its unique visualization of the interplay between loudness and dynamics makes true:level a revolutionary metering tool for finding just the right trade-off between these qualities in a track.

When finalizing a track for publication, users can draw from a range of common references, including the loudness values required for different streaming platforms and the dynamics appropriate for various genres—or they can upload custom reference tracks. With a final Level Check, the plug-in then suggests any necessary actions to achieve the specifications of the reference. Additional features, such as loudness and dynamics
