Codec Forensics Audio Meter is a professional audio metering plugin developed by Codec Forensics, offering precise audio level measurement through an intuitive interface. Whether you're monitoring audio for broadcast standards compliance or analyzing signal levels in a project, CF Audio Meter provides accurate, real-time measurements across four essential metering types.
Advanced Metering Technology
Integrated LUFS
The Integrated LUFS meter (shown in green) provides long-term loudness measurement following the ITU-R BS.1770-4 standard. With a range of -70 to 0 LUFS, this meter helps ensure your audio meets modern broadcast and streaming platform specifications.
Short-term LUFS
Our Short-term LUFS meter (displayed in light green) utilizes a 3-second sliding window for immediate loudness feedback. Operating in the same -70 to 0 LUFS range, it offers crucial insights into momentary loudness variations.
RMS Level Measurement
The RMS meter (blue-green) features an optimized 50ms response time, providing accurate average level readings from -60 to 0 dB. This measurement is essential for understanding the sustained energy content of your audio signal.
True Peak Detection
Our Peak Level meter (red) employs 4x oversampling for precise true peak detection, ranging from -60 to +12 dB. The included Peak Hold function allows you to capture and monitor maximum levels effectively.
