MeterPlugs has released a plug-in version of its Loudness Penalty web tool, which brings this useful tool into your DAW and helps you pinpoint the issues and fix them within your DAW.

Why Do I Need The Loudness Penalty Plug-in?

Online streaming services turn down loud music to ensure a more consistent listening experience. The Loudness Penalty plugin tells you how much your music will be turned down by YouTube, Spotify, TIDAL, Pandora and Apple's Sound Check.

The louder your music, the more it will be turned down by online streaming services, to avoid hitting listeners with unexpected changes in loudness. You may think that your music sounds fine, even when it has been turned down, but Loudness Penalty has been designed to that you can be sure.

• Optimise your music's online loudness so you can share your music knowing it will hold up online.

• Preview how your music will sound online, no need to leave your DAW.

• Pinpoint loudness pain-points and find exactly which parts of a song trigger the biggest penalty.

• Discover when it's possible to turn your music up without incurring a penalty.

• Reassure your clients and show them how streaming services affect loudness.

• Avoid loudness indecision so that there is no more trial and error, no more guessing.
