Youlean Loudness Meter measures perceived audio loudness to help prepare audio for television or streaming release. It reports LUFS loudness, loudness range, dynamic range, and true peak, with real-time analysis, offline file analysis, and views for loudness, distribution, histogram, dynamics, and true peak. The free version includes film, TV, and gaming presets, with standards such as ITU-R BS.1770-4 and EBU R128, and supports mono, stereo, and 5.1-channel audio. PRO adds streaming presets, custom presets, a dynamics graph, exports to PDF, PNG, or SVG, and a command-line tool. The software is available as a standalone application and as VST2, VST3, AUv2, and AAX plugins; listed hosts include FL Studio, Logic Pro X, Final Cut Pro X, Ableton Live, Reaper, Cubase, and Pro Tools. It runs on Windows 7 or newer and macOS 10.13 or newer. The free version can be used commercially and installed on unlimited devices. The plugin analyzes but does not alter loudness; the download page separately describes file or drag-and-drop normalization. PRO is listed at 4939.00 USD per once.
