Evergreen Audio has announced the release of Post Production Metering Suite 2.0 with an array of new features, new purchasing options, support for Pro Tools HDX DSP plugin, and the Massive Meter Bridge for iOS. We have the details…
Designed for a variety of uses including live sound, broadcast and or course, post production, the Post Production Metering Suite is a flexible software package combining the Massive Meter plugin and Massive Meter Bridge desktop application for viewing of multiple meters in a single, customisable view. It’s now also available as a Pro version. Check out Nathaniel Reichman’s review of the previous version here - note that some of the points in this review have been addressed in this latest update, and much more besides!
Massive Meter
The Massive Meter plugin allows for metering audio in your DAW of choice and connects to the Massive Meter Bridge for flexible metering. Avid Pro Tools AAX Native and VST3 plugin formats are supported and the plugin provides flexible metering of all supported Pro Tools channel widths.
Meter audio with Instant, Peak, RMS, Linear, Dorrough, K, Digital VU, and PPM Digital formats and customise the meter by changing the size, color, scaling, and many other features.
NEW! Massive Meter Pro Plugin
Today's update also introduces Massive Meter Pro. This plugin provides the same features as the Massive Meter plugin PLUS support for Pro Tools HDX systems with DSP processing. The Massive Meter Pro provides low latency processing and can be used with other DSP plugins and achieve low latency processing through the signal chain along with support for Pro Tools Delay Compensation.
Massive Meter Bridge Desktop
The real power of the Post Production Metering Suite is that the system can be set up to have multiple Massive Meter Bridge applications each with a customised view and each viewing Massive Meters from any Pro Tools system, any DAW that supports the VST3 plugin format, or any CoreAudio device. This allows large post-production stages to have custom meter views for each mix engineer or multiple views for each mix engineer.
The Massive Meter Bridge Application supports metering audio from the Massive Meter AAX or VST3 plugin or from any CoreAudio device. The Massive Meter Bridge application can operate without Pro Tools or other digital audio workstations with direct metering of a CoreAudio device.
NEW! Massive Meter Bridge iOS
The Massive Meter Bridge for iOS brings the power and flexibility of the desktop application to the iPad. The iOS version requires the Massive Meter plugin or Massive Meter Pro plugin for metering audio information and is a free companion application with all of the features of Massive Meter Bridge.
And there’s more…
The Massive Meter Bridge and Massive Meter have several new features to improve workflows and expand capabilities including...
Crash Down Metering - The Massive Meter Bridge can now view multi-channel meters in a crash-down form where a single meter bar is displayed showing the maximum values from the other meter bars/channels. Switching between a full view and a crash-down view is as simple as option-clicking on the meter bar or clicking the crash-down icon in the plugin.
Renaming Meters - Massive Meter Bridge users will notice there is a new icon next to the meter color and meter linking that allows for the meter name to be changed. This improves workflows for linked meters as well as enables quick changes of meter names.
Additional Peak and Clip Hold Times - Peak and Clip hold times now include 1 second and one-half second.
and more!
