Youlean Loudness Meter 2 PRO – Streaming-Ready LUFS Metering for $14.99

Every streaming platform turns your music up or down to its own loudness target. Master too loud and Spotify simply turns you down, costing impact you paid for in the mix; master too quiet and you hand loudness to everyone else on the playlist. Youlean Loudness Meter 2 PRO removes the guesswork from that equation for $14.99: it is a professional loudness analyzer that measures your audio against international broadcast standards and platform targets simultaneously, in real time, while you work.

Every Standard, One Window

The meter measures against EBU R128, ATSC A/85 and ITU-R BS.1770-4 at the same time, alongside custom targets you define yourself. Integrated loudness, short-term and momentary readouts run together so you can see both the whole-track number a platform will judge and the moment-to-moment behavior that creates it. Loudness Range metering shows how much dynamic variation your master actually contains, and accurate true peak measurement catches the inter-sample overshoots that only appear after encoding — the ones that turn into distortion on a listener’s phone.

Presets for Where Audio Actually Ships

One-click presets cover Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, Amazon Music and Netflix, plus the major broadcast standards, so checking a master against its destination takes seconds rather than a spreadsheet. The visual loudness history graph is the feature mastering engineers lean on hardest: it draws your track’s loudness profile across its full duration, exposing the chorus that jumps too far, the verse that sinks, or the fade that will confuse a normalizer — before a platform’s algorithm finds them for you.

Proof, Not Just Meters

When a client, broadcaster or label asks whether a master complies, a screenshot of a meter is not an answer. Youlean 2 PRO exports detailed loudness analysis reports for compliance documentation and QC workflows, turning your measurement into evidence. The interface is fully resizable, so the meter can live as a slim strip beside your master chain or fill a second screen during a dedicated loudness pass.

For Podcasts, Broadcast and Everything Loudness-Judged

Music is only the most obvious use. Podcast producers use Youlean to keep episodes at a consistent loudness so listeners stop riding the volume between shows and between speakers. Broadcast engineers preparing EBU R128 deliveries use it to certify compliance before the file leaves the building, where a rejection costs a slot rather than a setting. Video producers delivering to Netflix and streaming platforms check dialogue and full-program loudness against the same window they mixed in, and game and app audio teams use the custom targets to hold their own house standards. In each case the cost of being wrong — a turned-down master, a rejected delivery, an inconsistent series — dwarfs the $14.99 the meter costs, which is exactly what a professional tool is supposed to look like.

The workflow cost is effectively zero: the meter sits on the master bus, resizes to whatever corner of the screen is free, and reports continuously while you mix — no rendering passes, no offline analysis step, no separate application to export audio into. Decisions about loudness stop being a final-stage surprise and become something the whole mix was quietly built around.

The Deal

Youlean Loudness Meter 2 PRO is $14.99 — the cheapest plugin in this entire catalogue relative to the problems it prevents. One rejected delivery or one master turned down by a platform costs more than this meter ever will. It runs in VST3, AU and AAX on macOS 10.11 and later and Windows 7 and later, in Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase and all major DAWs, and delivery is instant. Put it on your master bus and stop wondering.
