ProMeter free metering by Bakuage

ProMeter is a free metering VST, VST3 plugin developed by Bakuage. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b.

ProMeter is a VST Analyzer plug-in that measures “professionality”. “Professionality” is an index that shows how close it is to professional sound (sound of commercially CD). It is calculated based on the learning result of the actual commercial CD. Originally it was an indicator that can be measured with AI Mastering an automated online mastering service. In order to approach professional sound in the mixing stage, we made it possible to measure “professionality” in real time with VST.
