Forget your DAW&#8217;s peak meters, you need a professional loudness monitor &#8211; and YouLean is just that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It keeps you in the know of the short-term, integrated, and momentary LUFS (unit of measurement for perceived loudness: <strong>Loudness Unit Full Scale<\/strong>) values during playback of your track. As well as this, it makes it so easy to manage your True Peak levels (the loudest point a signal can reach) so you know when to turn things down. WE recommend keeping this below -6dB for a clean master. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more, the accurate assessment of the Average Dynamics to Peak ratio assesses the dynamics of your track in relation to what levels it&#8217;s hitting. Also, if you want a visual aid to see what you&#8217;re hearing, YouLean plots an accurate graph of your loudness values so you can be confident in your mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of <strong>the<\/strong> best free plugins for assessing sound pressure levels.
