About this plugin
Decibel is a real-time metering and analysis plugin designed for engineers who need precise, immediate feedback on mix levels and frequency distribution. At its core, the tool provides LUFS metering alongside TrueDyn, PROCESS.AUDIO's proprietary dynamic range measurement that accounts for perceived loudness fluctuations across a mix. This combination addresses a genuine need in modern production: understanding not just peak levels, but how dynamics behave relative to streaming platform specifications and client requirements.
The plugin's most distinctive feature is its companion app ecosystem. By linking iOS or Android devices over Wi-Fi, users can mirror meter displays across multiple tablets or phones, creating a scalable hardware-style metering setup without additional equipment cost. This approach has practical value in shared studio environments or when monitoring from different positions in a control room.

The Stereo Cloud module visualizes frequency distribution across the stereo field, mapping bass to bottom and high frequencies to top with panoramic positioning on the X-axis. Combined with drag-and-drop batch analysis, Decibel handles both real-time mixing decisions and offline session auditing efficiently.
Decibel serves sound engineers managing professional mixes, video producers handling dialogue and music integration, and mastering engineers focused on platform-specific loudness targets. While metering plugins are increasingly commoditized, PROCESS.AUDIO's emphasis on TrueDyn measurements and the mobile extension system positions Decibel as a thoughtful alternative to established options like Waves WLM Plus or FabFilter Pro-L 2, particularly for those prioritizing workflow flexibility and dynamic range insight over comprehensive loudness correction.
