Hi,
Just want to let you know that TBProAudio has released AccessiblePeakMeter3, with some really useful and neat meter options. They have also updated their AccessiblePhaseMeter.
AccessiblePeakMeter3 now has the following meters:
•TruePeak and Peak
•VU/PPM
•RMS IL/RMS ML
•EBU IL/EBU SL/EBU ML
•DialNorm IL/DialNorm SL
•DR PLR/DR PSR
Note that the EBU meters are the one you’ll use to read LUFS values. Also note that both RMS, EBU and Dynamic Range now have meters for integrated/program values for the whole content.
They have also implemented an option to set an individual pitch of the alarm tone for each meter you use, so in my case I can for example run one meter with a high pitch warning me about TruePeak, a medium pitched alarm to warn me about LUFS values, and a low pitched alarm to warn me about Dynamic Range, all at the same time. Very effective and makes it easy to tell me what’s happening. There is now also a sync option, so that the meters are reset every time you start your DAW.
The AccessiblePhaseMeter is updated to work better with the alarm tone when paused or when there is silent passages in your content..
The AccessibleSpectrumAnalyser also works great. Of course, using alarms is not as convenient as it would be to also have exact numbers, but at this time I find this solution to be a good one.
You can download them here:

I really appreciate TBProAudio for their work and efforts to make tools like these available, and even for free. I currently consider some of their other plugins, like the DynaRider and GainRider2, as they seem to be useful tools.
Best,
John André
