We are excited to announce the release of the new 1.2.1 update for our LU Meter, the essential momentary EBU meter designed for accurate loudness measurement. This maintenance release is packed with several important fixes and improvements aimed at enhancing the performance and usability of the plugin, ensuring a smoother and more reliable experience for all users. Whether you’re working on a professional mix, a mastering project, or any task that requires precise loudness monitoring, this update will help streamline your workflow.
The 1.2.1 update addresses a few crucial issues and introduces several improvements that will make your loudness metering workflow more efficient and precise. One of the most notable fixes involves resolving a problem where the meter and auto gain functions didn’t operate correctly when applied to mono tracks. This issue caused inaccurate readings and improper gain adjustment, making it difficult for users to rely on the plugin when working with mono configurations. With this fix, you can now confidently apply LU Meter to any mono track, knowing that you’ll get accurate loudness readings and correct gain adjustments.
Another significant fix in this update is related to the auto gain feature. Previously, the auto gain setting could reset when the plugin was grouped in certain DAWs, even if the “gain” button was not pressed. This created frustration as users found that the settings were not properly retained when working with multiple instances of the plugin, especially during complex sessions. The issue has now been resolved, ensuring that your auto gain settings remain intact even when grouping multiple instances of the LU Meter plugin. This fix improves workflow consistency and reliability, allowing for a more seamless experience when mixing and mastering.
In addition to the bug fixes, the update brings a number of user interface improvements. One of the improvements is related to the color picker handling. If you are working in Cubase, you’ll notice that the plugin now handles color selection and adjustments much more smoothly. Previously, some users encountered issues when selecting or adjusting colors within the plugin interface, which could lead to frustration during routine sessions. With this update, the color picker works as expected, giving you more control over the plugin’s appearance and making the overall interface more pleasant to use.
Furthermore, another issue related to MIDI clips in Cubase has been resolved. In previous versions, the auto button wouldn’t properly disable when stopping playback with MIDI clips. This would sometimes lead to erratic behavior, impacting the overall functionality of the plugin in a MIDI-heavy session. The fix now ensures that the auto button will correctly disable when stopping playback with MIDI clips, providing greater reliability and precision during your loudness metering tasks. This improvement makes the plugin even more robust and ensures that your mixing and mastering process remains as smooth as possible, without unnecessary interruptions or confusion.
The 1.2.1 update is all about making your loudness metering experience as efficient and precise as possible. With these fixes, you no longer need to worry about issues like inaccurate readings with mono tracks or unpredictable behavior with the auto gain function. Additionally, the improvements to the color picker handling and MIDI functionality help ensure that the plugin works flawlessly across various DAWs, including Cubase, making it an even more valuable tool for professionals in the audio industry. Whether you are adjusting the loudness of your tracks for broadcast, streaming, or any other medium, you can rely on LU Meter to deliver consistent, high-quality performance every time.
The 1.2.1 update for LU Meter is available now and is completely free for all current owners of the plugin. To get the latest version, simply log into your user area on the HoRNet website. From there, you can easily download the update and start benefiting from all the fixes and improvements right away.
