true:level comes with a range of predefined references including the loudness standards of publishing platforms and dynamic references for different genres. Aiming for these reference values avoids unpleasant surprises when you publish a mix. To ensure consistency across an entire project, you can load up to 8 reference tracks against which you can compare your mix.

true:level makes the link between the loudness and dynamics of a mix immediately apparent and provides you with a holistic overview of both values. The calculated reference zone is specified either by your chosen loudness and dynamics reference or the custom reference tracks that you’ve uploaded. In case you need a little guidance regarding how to modify your track to bring it within the reference zone, just press Level Check to get hints for what actions are needed.

All displayed readouts as well as their visualizations are designed, so you don’t have to second-guess what you are seeing or become distracted by too many details. true:level’s key readouts are supported by target indicators, allowing you to see if your track is close to the values of your chosen reference.

• Loudness (LUFS): Integrated, short-term, momentary
• Loudness Range (LU): Integrated, short-term, momentary
• Dynamics (dB): Based on peak-to-loudness ratio
• True Peak (dBTP): Using high-resolution oversampling
