What SSL Meter does
Level scales can be switched between Non-Linear, Non-Linear 2x, Linear, Linear 2x, K-20 and K-14, and the K-System is included among the metering standards.
Analogue-style VU and PPM meters are modeled on the digital world’s trusted metering tools, and a 0 VU line-up standard can be set when the VU meter is used as a reference. A Lissajous phase scope, a stereo balance bar and a phase correlation meter show how the two channels relate. The 31-band real-time analyser displays the frequency spectrum of the mix, and each band can be interrogated for its precise frequency value. The plugin also integrates the UF1 SSL 360° Mixer.
Key features
- True peak, RMS and K-System. Dual true peak and RMS meters with a maximum current readout, selectable against the K-System scales.
- Analogue VU and PPM meters. VU and PPM ballistics with a 0 VU line-up standard that can be set for reference work.
- Lissajous phase scope. A Lissajous display that shows the phase relationship between the left and right channels.
- 31-band real-time analyser. A 31-band spectrum display where each band can be read for its precise frequency value.
- Balance and correlation. A stereo balance bar and a phase correlation meter placed alongside the other displays.
- Control panel and re-scaling. A comprehensive control panel for tailoring meter parameters, and the whole window can be re-scaled up to 200% for a secondary monitor.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches for a working serial, a keygen or an iLok emulator tend to name SSL Meter in the same query as the Windows and macOS builds.
Compatibility
Available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS 11 in 64-bit builds, with native Apple Silicon support. The DMG crack, repack and torrent releases share that iLok activation, so magnet link searches for AU crack and macOS crack point to the same build.
Who it is for
The plugin suits mastering engineers, mix engineers and studio owners who want level, phase and spectrum readings in one place instead of several separate meters.
