Youlean Loudness Meter was the winner of KVR Developer Challenge 2016.
As one of the prizes, the plugin was presented on NAMM Show 2017 in Los Angeles.
Youlean (Julijan Nikolic) is also part of the FL Studio alpha team, and many of his work like Patcher presets and ZGameEditor Visualizer effects are already part of FL Studio.
“Once I learned about loudness metering using LUFS, I was really fascinated. The problem was that the plugins for measuring it were (and still are) really expensive and there were no free ones that can get you started.
So, I have decided to create a free loudness meter that will be even better than the most expensive ones.”

LUFS
This measurement is basically like RMS but with a twist. It takes into account how humans perceive loudness and it is currently the most accurate way of measuring loudness. The main difference compared to RMS is that LUFS uses filters to shape the sound before processing in a similar way to how we hear the sound.
