Just watched it and was wondering the same. Really wonder what it does.

[@nondelusional]

I purchased this yesterday to replace the Waves WLM plus loudness meter & make Levels my go-to loudness meter.

Dope!!

[@dmitrilavinchuk7754]

Bravo!!!!I love this stuff!!!Megarespect for Your helpful videos!!!!

[@playlogomusicart]

You wonderfully awesome people! What a think of great beauty and utility you've made! Good instructionals and online help too. Bought. Happy!

[@charlesleeray1873]

So many edm tracks are overcompressed, so I think the dynamic range shouldn't be something to be scared of hitting red.

[@menasafwat4951]

The greatest explain i ever heard . thanks a lot

[@vichowemusic]

Great video Tom!

[@danquay9504]

I downloaded Expose but came across this and found this seem to be better as you can see the levels and work on in visual rather than static, I found this Tutorial very helpful and im going to buy the full version, I certainly learnt alot and found this tutorial very helpful, Thanks keep up the great work

[@musicislife704]

Dan Quay best to use both!

[@poorhouz5051]

I have Expose 2 as well.. I think they work GREAT together... It is the same company.... I saw some videos of them both in action...

[@iamgerer]

Love this plugin!

[@AnuragDixitMuzic]

Thanks for this very useful video! Please add 'Bass space' details as well. I guess when it goes red, it means you need to turn down the low frequencies.

[@Greenmantislives]

Has there been an update as of late? I feel like this version has more features than the version I have been using. Such a well thought out plugin. I sold several of my friends on how good it is as a metering plugin and they love it too!

[@Masteringthemixlondon]

Yep we're on LEVELS 2.0, it's a free update! You can see if an update is available within the software itself. Just click the (?) icon in the top right corner and you'll see the version number. If an update is available you'll also see a link to download the latest update.

[@milanpolak]

Love it! Thank you.

[@dj_instruments937]

Should have parameters (buttons) that allows us to fix these problems within the plugin. Almost perfect...

[@LesVegasMusic]

Excellent as always! Just one question. In the average loudness range table, you made separate rows for EDM, House and Electronic. Would Martin Garrix and Fisher be good examples for EDM and House?Also, what would be a good example for Electronic?

[@hex16d]

Actually levels helped me a lot

[@poorhouz5051]

Dope video... I already have Expose 2 and I love it.... This is on sale this week.. Hey you never mentioned the Bass Space in this video.....LOL .Still GREAT video and tips.... SALUTE

[@Spineloro]

Really helpful tool, can’t do without it👍✨

[@humbertogalvan7734]

Amazing plugin. Anyone knows a correct LUFS metering for mastering a tracks that it is going to vinyl? I was thinking about 10 or 11. Or the standar 14 for digital platforms should be ok?

[@carators3611]

Thanks for the helpful video! I am trying out Levels, but I am mixing/mastering very dynamic music, and I just can't get it to sit at -14 LUFS. The quiet parts are too quiet, but if I make it any louder, I have too many peaks. Do you have any advice?

[@Masteringthemixlondon]

Sure, check out my full guide to stereo mastering here: www.dropbox.com/s/eyo52oh9xwxzgno/How%20To%20Stereo%20Master%20A%20Song%20-%20Mastering%20The%20Mix.pdf?dl=1 this will give you the info you need 😊

[@giannipetrocelli472]

I love this plugin. But the Lra for me is a thing I didn't get right....on my tracks this value decreases always during the track.

[@Masteringthemixlondon]

Here's some info on Loudness range that i hope you'll find helpful: www.masteringthemix.com/pages/mastering-with-levels#LoudnessRange

[@mrbass093]

could i use this even if i don't master my track?

[@Masteringthemixlondon]

Yes! Levels is great when mixing too!

[@thegroove2000]

incredible.

[@thegroove2000]

So this can be used in real time so one can tweak the mix so that any issues can be corrected?.

[@thegroove2000]

Brilliant TUT by the way.

[@daaamn001]

Dope!

[@davidpickett3546]

Can I use the plugin at the end of my mastering chain to analyse the four meter readers (peak, bass space etc) or does this need to be done before mastering chain? Also I'm assuming it is OK to use within my session on the stereo out...? Best regards

[@soulidbeats5360]

Just link it to the "control room out" since its the same as the master output.

[@helosbonos]

I feel like this should be at the end of your mastering chain.

[@Bomb20the2nd]

Tom, on your Levels global screen we have 8 bands responding to the input to Levels. What frequency bands do they cover? Thanks.

[@Masteringthemixlondon]

The home screen of LEVELS is designed to be 'data free' The 8 bands are essentially a zoomed out frequency spectrum, but they are not supposed to give any actionable information. The idea is that LEVELS keeps you in your creative flow and only warns you if there is a technical issue with your mix or master.

[@Bomb20the2nd]

@@Masteringthemixlondon Thanks :)

[@fabianrr]

The best 👌

[@lnxguit]

Useful :-)
