Are you tired of clunky, one-size-fits-all audio meters, and want something a bit more customisable to your needs? Well, MiniMeters might just be the answer. It’s a powerful, yet lightweight real-time audio visualisation tool, that has levels of customisation that most DAWs can only dream of.

What is MiniMeters?

MiniMeters is a simple cross-platform audio metering application and plug-in suite for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can monitor system audio or route audio from your DAW using its Audio Server plugin. Whether you’re producing, mixing, or referencing your favourite tracks, MiniMeters provides a visual representation of your audio in real time.

Polarity also does an incredible job running through the plugin in more detail in the video below!

Main Features

  • 7 Modular Meters: Choose from Spectrogram, Waveform, Loudness (LUFS/RMS), Stereometer, Oscilloscope, VU Meter, and Spectrum Analyzer.
  • Custom Layouts: Arrange meters in a horizontal bar, pop them out into separate windows, or use the new Quad Layout for a compact, full-screen view.
  • Stick Mode: Keep MiniMeters always on top without obstructing your other windows, perfect for multitasking.
  • Audio Recording & Clipping: Capture the last 10 or 60 seconds of audio or record directly from your system or DAW. Recordings are saved as 32-bit floating-point WAV files.
  • Target Curve Overlay: Compare your audio’s frequency content with reference tracks by dragging and dropping a WAV, MP3, or FLAC file.
  • Colour Customization: Dive deep into creating your own color scheme to set the mood.
