The LEVELS Black Friday deal is 50% off Mastering The Mix's metering plugin, bringing it to $39.50 until Nov 9, 2026.
LEVELS puts 7 mixing and metering tools into one plugin, so you can catch technical problems in a mix or master before it goes out.
It ships with presets for CD, Club, Streaming, YouTube and more, aimed at making your music hold up on whatever system it lands on.
The maker splits the plugin into sections, each aimed at one kind of problem:
The true peak meter is there so your masters don't clip. The maker suggests keeping the standard peak meter below -6dB for a final mix.
The vectorscope shows stereo width, the correlation meter flags phase problems, and the Left/Right meter shows the balance of your mix.
A Low Pass button solos everything below 300Hz, so you can see how wide your low end really is.
The Bass Space section identifies any channels outputting unwanted low frequencies, using level meters at 40Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz and 160Hz.
The Dynamic Range section shows whether your music is overcompressed. The oscilloscope glows green when the material is dynamic, and the DR display is based on the ratio of short-term LUFS to peak.
The loudness range meter tracks the difference in loudness between the sections of your track.
The maker describes LUFS as the most accurate way to analyse perceived loudness.
The interface is retina ready and responsive, and the visuals in each section are meant to make a problem quick to spot. LEVELS only draws your attention to issues, which the maker presents as a time saver.
CPU use is very low, which helps in sessions with many plugins running.
Settings are adjustable, and a (?) button in the plugin explains how to fix an issue if you get stuck.
The maker also says it turns red when you go past a sensible loudness threshold.
Yes, the LEVELS Black Friday deal takes 50% off, so the plugin costs $39.50, and the offer ends Nov 9, 2026. It is Mastering The Mix's 7-in-1 metering plugin for loudness, true peak, stereo field and dynamic range.
LEVELS packs 7 tools into one plugin: peak and true peak, LUFS, stereo field, dynamic range, loudness range and bass space metering. Each has its own section, with presets for CD, Club, Streaming, YouTube and more.
Yes. Before you release a track, LEVELS lets you measure loudness, true peak, stereo width and phase against targets built for Spotify and other streaming services. It also offers short-term and integrated LUFS and true peak readings.
The maker says it uses very little CPU, which is an advantage when a session already has many plugins running. The interface is retina ready and responsive, and each section only draws your attention when there is an issue.
