BTW: here's the (free for 60 seconds) LUFS meter plugin: https://www.klangfreund.com/lufsmeter/
Again the Melda Productions MLoudnessAnalyzer is also free and completely unlimited.
Lol it never is, is it? It’s nice, though, to have a meter that gets you in the ballpark, with some headroom.I must admit that I am leveling presets by ear now. It always felt like, I did all this technical leveling, but at rehearsal it was never right anyway.

Sometimes I want to take a chain upside the drummer's head.It's always the damn drummer. I want an expander with a side chain feed from the rest of the band so my git will stay on top
Seriously, I could spend an entire evening leveling new presets to the LUFS meter, then go to rehearsal only to learn that my levels were all wrong. In the future, I think, I will just use the AX8 VU meters to get in the ballpark, and then do the rest by ear.Lol it never is, is it?

So when you looked at the onboard VU meter - were you in fact clipping? I only use the VU Meter to level my patches and am curious to see if it was responding accurately to what you were hearing.I had my first gig with my new side-project Saturday night - I'm the only guitarist. Spent literally all day Saturday (as in, about 7 hours) using the LUFS meter to level all my patches...
.....or so I thought.
An hour before leaving for the gig, thought I'd just check, and there was clipping all over the place. So, I then took a look at the on-board VU meter and tried to get my main patch around the line (on average). Then checked what that was in the LUFS meter, and used that LUFS level to then set the rest of my patches. Seemed to work OK in the end, but it was pretty stressful!

This product is a plugin. It's intended to be used with DAW software, such as Reaper. If you're running a DAW, you load it like any other plugin. If you're not running a DAW, you can't load it.
I made this video yesterday (for another thread) to show, how I use a loudness meter to match loudness between amps and between presets. Thought it could be useful for some.
Interesting- I just updated over the weekend but haven't had a chance to really dive into it yet....Will be looking to see if that happens for me too. Thanks man.Yes - but the weird thing is, I'm very sure it wasn't prior to me updating to 9.02.
I bet you were close.Yes - but the weird thing is, I'm very sure it wasn't prior to me updating to 9.02.
