Description
dpMeter 3 is a digital multichannel meter for RMS, EBU R128, true-peak, and inter-sample-peak measurement. It follows dpMeter II and adds GUI resizing and preset management for a more adaptable metering workflow.
The plugin supports stereo and surround layouts from 2.0 through 5.1, records measurement results as automation, and offers loudness, peak, and true-peak matching against a reference level. Continuous or synchronized measurement, adjustable pre-gain, and GUI scaling round out the analysis tools.
