Loudness memory

VisLM remembers up to 24 hours of loudness data, locked to a timecode received directly from your NLE/DAW. Any minor edit or overdub triggers overall loudness updates, eliminating the need for end-to-end re-measurement. Plus loudness data is saved with the session.

Offline AudioSuite scans can be transferred to the real-time meter for faster than real-time measurement. ReMEM’s workflow acceleration is unparalleled, delivering best-in-class performance.

Comprehensive True Peak metering

VisLM’s True Peak meter displays True Peak values as defined in ITU-R BS.1770. This accurately pre-empts and measures inter-sample peaks, allowing you to avoid potential distortion further downstream.

VisLM logs True Peak violations against your project time code in the scrolling history view, and navigable flags allow you to quickly identify problem areas on the timeline.
