FEATURES

See the state of your mix, all in one place.

Analog VU Meters

Twin L/R needle VU meters. A spring-mass-damper physics model gives the needles natural motion, so you can read levels intuitively.

Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

Visualizes your frequency balance at all times. With a piano-key legend and a frequency color bar, you can read the state of every band at a glance.

Peak / RMS / LUFS-M / LUFS-S

Switch metering modes with a single click, matching the loudness standard of any streaming platform.

FAQ

FAQ

Is this really free? Is it time-limited?

Yes, it is completely free with no time limit. No license registration is required either.

How is this different from the paid GAINBAL?

GAINBAL Meter provides metering only. Features that work with GAINBAL Track — such as AUTO CALIB, ALL CALIB, and batch LUFS adjustment — are available only in the paid GAINBAL.

I already own GAINBAL (paid). Do I need to install Meter too?

No. It is already bundled with the paid installer, so there is no need to install it separately.

UPGRADE

Automate the way you build your mix.

With GAINBAL, everything from per-track gain calibration to master LUFS normalization is one button away.
