Youlean Loudness Meter 2 is a free audio metering plugin available in VST, VST3, AU and AAX formats for professional audio production workflows. It measures perceived loudness according to industry standards (ITU-R BS.1770-4, EBU R128, ATSC A/85 and others) and helps producers meet loudness requirements for broadcast, streaming platforms like Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and Tidal, and film and television. The plugin displays loudness graphs, true peak levels, loudness range and other metering data, with a resizable GUI and mini-view mode for flexibility. A paid Pro version adds streaming presets, dynamics graphing, export to PDF/PNG/SVG, custom presets and theme support. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe native Apple Silicon AAX version of Youlean Loudness Meter 2 is available directly from Youlean's website. Visit youlean.co, navigate to the download section, and select the macOS installer — the site automatically detects your system architecture and serves the appropriate native build. After downloading and installing, the plugin will be recognized by Pro Tools (on a native build of Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer) as an ARM64 binary and will load natively without Rosetta 2. Your Pro Tools plugin paths and plugin cache will be refreshed automatically on the next launch. If you are running an older version of Pro Tools, update Pro Tools first via Avid's application manager to ensure compatibility with the native AAX plugin.
