ABLM is a gain control which enables level matched and sample accurate AB comparison of FX chains.

Most DAWs can easily enable/disable (AB) single plug-in or even whole FX chains, but in most case there is an audible loudness difference between both cases. In order to compare the impact of a plugin chain objectively the loudness of the incoming signal should match with the loudness of outgoing signal.

SLM2 is a smart stereo loudness maximizer including "analog spice” and 16x over-sampling. The goal of the design was to maximize the loudness of the audio signal while maintaining transparency.

The SLM2 DSP analyses every sample of the incoming stereo signal within a defined time frame and calculates the optimal volume increase. This guarantees maximum possible transparency.

Better? Or just louder?

Ever wonder, "how loud should my music be?" Many people prefer louder music - that's how the loudness wars started - but too much "loudness processing" can do more harm than good... Squashed, dull, flat sound - or even pumping and distortion. Now, with Perception, you can zero in on your music's loudness "sweet spot".

Eliminate loudness deception

This tool was designed to make gain matching easy and fast!

Have you ever seen a plugin that sounds so much better when you put it on? And later discovered that it just adds 1 dB of gain on everything?

Or maybe a new compressor, that has a fixed 2dB steps output knob? So that comparing before and after is a pain?

Or maybe a saturation plugin with no output gain, so that it's almost unusable?
