Nice video. I will be using that code! Thank you :-)

If you haven't already check out the plugin series by the company 'mastering the mix' - especially 'levels' and 'reference' - but all of them are very helpful at a really reasonable price tag and you can try them for free (i don't get paid for this post, just a huge fan)

[@YouleanSoftware]

Thank you Michael for the awesome review! I am sure that this video will help people better understand working with LUFS and my plugin. :D

[@inthemix]

I hope so! It's really an amazing plugin you've developed all by yourself, the metering, the gui, it's all perfect :)

[@YouleanSoftware]

@@inthemix Thanks Michael! :D

[@lardosian]

Have been learning to program with python and js, how does one go about making a vst?? Do you have to develop 2 versions for mac/pc?

[@YouleanSoftware]

@@lardosian If you want to make the audio plugins you will need to know the C++. Then just use some plugin framework like Juce or iPlug to create the plugins. Mostly, you will develop only for one platform and it will work on the other one too, but that depends on the framework. I am using the custom build of IPlug for my plugins and I had to do a lot of additional work to get the plugin working the same on Windows and macOS.

[@lardosian]

@@YouleanSoftware Thanks for the info Youlean. I must look into it but im sure its no easy task as C++ is a very low level programming language. Do you have a github page, thanks again.

[@an_alien_boi]

Your videos are the best music tutorials on KZbin. No 20 minute intro or talking about your website, just straight into the info. Very appreciated.

I don't know anything about instruments, music theory, chords, plugins (the interface) or anything. But it has been a week or two, since I installed FL Studio and I've watched so many tutorials and I don't know how I made a melody, maybe a full beat. But whatever I learnt from you was perfect and helped me a lot. I just need to understand more and more and devote my time to it. Thank You.

[@midodon4294]

Hey if you'd like to learn more about chords and music theory look up signals studio music diatonic and borrowed chords. Also you can look up mangold project chords for a lot of great information on chords. Other good channels for music theory is rick beato and hack music theory.

I'm getting much more use from this Youlean meter than the much more expensive Izotope Insight plugin I currently use. The Izotope plugin made some of my DAW sessions crash, and the developer can't fix the issue. This Youlean meter was an insta-buy. Thanks for the 20% off. Now I have a much better visual representation of the loudness of my music and of my reference tracks.

[@Nimbus07]

i love your video quality as well as the quality content in it😍😍

[@inthemix]

Thanks!

[@CristianCarvajalC]

I bought the pro versión because of your videos, this program changed my life man. I use the AES standard to master my music

[@VANDYKEDAN]

Michael, I am blown away by your gift of teaching. You can count that as another one of your talents. What a fantastic vid!!! I learned so much, and learning more. You already convinced me to purchase after watching your "How Loud Should You Master Your Music?". Thankfully, Youlean put a link to THIS vid on his page for Loudness Meter, so after I purchased I watched this one straight away. I will be watching this several times over until I really have it. Absolutely fantastic work, and thank you so much for what you do!

[@Sellarmusic]

Easy to see why you use this plugin. Nice job with the video covering the detail. I purchased the pro version mostly because of the ability to analyze reference tracks and see dynamic range in graph form. I think it will be a game changer for my mixes and masters.

[@zaphyre]

been using youlean for about a year now, it's so useful

[@YouleanSoftware]

Thanks Zaphyre! :)

[@dragonheatbeats9944]

Thanks for the video, I had the free version fro the last 5-6 months, and I have been thinking bout upgrading to paid version...either upgrading to pro version or purchasing the TC Electronic Clarity M Stereo Professional Studio Meter... I like the idea of having the external screen for it, but I could save a lot of money by buying the pro version of this. I understood the basics of how this plugin works, but this video gave me more insight, and gave me the information I needed to make my decision, I will buy the pro version and use your affiliate link...I love your videos whenever I search for something and I see that you have a video on the subject, I always watch yours first.. much respect.

[@darrenchristieoz]

Thank you for introducing me to this plug-in Michael. I'm still using the free version but its been very useful. I've been struggling a bit to get a track to the target LUFS, eg -14, with target peaks of say -1, as well as a decent dynamic range. Great to be able to have this control now though. Thanks again.

[@inthemix]

The dynamic range was usually the big issue for me, it's so great to just see it all on the graph :)

[@Mal0wens]

I've been using this plugin for years and finally decided to properly understand what all the various measurements meant. Thank you!

Would be awesome if Wavecandy includes Lufs and similar options in future updates. Meanwhile this plugin is awesome, I've been using it for a while too.

[@inthemix]

I agree!

[@YouleanSoftware]

Wavecandy actually has the ITU - BS1770 algorithm (LUFS), however, it is broken for some reason, and nobody knows about it. Actually, it is not broken, but it doesn't give you the correct values. I have reported that to FL Studio team, and they are aware of it, but not sure when they will take a look at it.

[@youran11]

This meter is essential for helping you get a master track to the.volume level it should be..Before this meter I was just wondering how the pros tracks had more volume..well this is the key navigation meter..This is just a meter (not a volume enhancer/booster) ..It helps you scope out a desired volume level as well as helping you maintain a required volume level.

[@jupiter901]

I can see why you use this product for your kind of job, it does everything, I like it. I use Levels by mastering the mix, it uses a traffic light system and has all the same settings and stereo field, so easy to use and many presets. If I was doing mastering as a job, I would use Youlean, it looks great, thanks for sharing.

@@inthemix I'm currently mixing a bassline garage track, the producer has used 4 different bass patches and all change key😂 it's alot of work to get the snare, vocal and bass all to cut through the mix as there's so many different frequencies....2 weeks later and I think I've finally got it😂

[@AudioBotnik]

A year on, I found your video. Bought the pro plugin limiter. Great video and good to support new developers. Cheers Laddie

[@derekfromtauranga6012]

I’ve had this on my computer for a while but not used it. After reading up about it recently I inserted it at the last in the chain after my Drawmer S73 compressor and then soloed my group tracks and individually set the output levels to peaks around -18. I went through and did this for all guitars and bass just observing the data from the loudness meter to adjust the faders. When I played the track it came alive and there seemed to be more space for the individual instruments and the bass isn’t boomy. I lastly set the lead guitars riffs levels to sit with the level of everything else Before that everything was being pushed to the limit volume wise and it sounded muddy. Obviously the compressors don’t have to work as hard when you master at a lower level and have the final output level at around 0 Db. Yes this is an essential plug-in and visually tells you more accurately than your ears what’s going on. 👍👍👍

Hopefully, this will help me get it all in the same range. Thanks again for another awesome tutorial and review. Top class as always.

Quite a lot above my head. I can see how useful this is but I am confused by some of the terms, and how to use the alerts in practice.

I guess what I need is a good mastering tut first of all; so I am watching your loudness tut next, but I would still love to see another vid on this plugin with more varied examples.
