Youlean Loudness Meter 2 Pro

Youlean Loudness Meter 2 Pro: LUFS Loudness Meter

Youlean Loudness Meter 2 Pro is the paid edition of the studio-standard loudness meter, built to show the true perceived loudness of your audio and help you master to streaming and broadcast targets. It measures LUFS, true peak, loudness range and dynamics in real time, and the Pro edition adds streaming presets, unlimited history and full export. It reads the numbers that Spotify, YouTube and Netflix care about. Mac and Windows, in one purchase.

What’s Inside Youlean Loudness Meter 2 Pro

• LUFS metering: integrated, short-term and momentary loudness to the broadcast standard, so you master to a real target.
• True peak metering: catches inter-sample peaks that a normal peak meter misses before they clip on playback.
• Streaming presets: one-click targets for Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Netflix and more, in the Pro edition.
• Loudness range and dynamics: see how much dynamic movement your master keeps, not just how loud it is.
• Unlimited history graph: track loudness over a whole song and scroll back, a Pro feature.
• PDF and CSV export: save a loudness report for clients and delivery, also Pro only.

Who Is Youlean Loudness Meter 2 Pro For?

Mastering engineers use this LUFS meter to hit each platform’s loudness target while keeping the dynamics they want. Mixing engineers keep it on the master bus as a reference through a whole session. Podcast and broadcast editors use it to meet delivery specs exactly. Producers who upload to streaming use it to stop their tracks being turned down or squashed by a platform’s normalisation.

Formats and Compatibility

The meter ships in VST, VST3, AU and AAX, all 64-bit, plus a standalone app. On macOS it loads into Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig and Reaper, and the AAX build covers Pro Tools. On Windows the VST3 build covers FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper. It runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel, and one purchase covers both platforms.

System Requirements

• macOS: 10.12 or higher, Intel or Apple Silicon (native)
• Windows: 8 or newer, 64-bit host
• Formats: 64-bit VST, VST3, AU and AAX, plus standalone
• CPU: very light; sits on the master with room to spare

How Producers Use Youlean Loudness Meter 2 Pro

Mastering engineers put this loudness meter plugin last on the master, load the streaming preset for the target platform, and push their limiter until the integrated LUFS sits just under the mark while the true peak stays below the ceiling. They watch the loudness range so the master keeps its punch rather than being flattened. Podcast editors set the broadcast target and export a PDF report for delivery. Producers often run it after a limiter like FabFilter Pro-L 2, using the meter to confirm the numbers the limiter is hitting. Because it measures rather than processes, it never colours the sound.

Questions Producers Ask

What is the difference between Youlean free and Pro?

The free version meters LUFS and true peak and is enough for basic checks. The Pro edition adds one-click streaming presets, an unlimited history graph, PDF and CSV export, more customisation and extra readouts. If you master often or deliver to clients and platforms, the Pro workflow features save real time.

What LUFS should I master to?

Most streaming platforms normalise around minus fourteen LUFS integrated, so many engineers master there or a touch louder and let the platform turn it down evenly. Broadcast targets differ, often around minus twenty-three LUFS. The Pro streaming targets set the right target for each service, so you meter to the number that platform expects.

Does the meter change my sound?

No. It is a metering tool, not a processor, so it only measures loudness, true peak and dynamics and never alters the audio. You place it on the master to read the numbers, then adjust your limiter or gain accordingly. That is why engineers leave it on the bus through a whole session.
