Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUN6YlFDVVE&t=5s We (Signum Audio, based in Edinburgh, Scotland) have just released our first plugin - the Bute Loudness Analyser. Bute comes with a customisable warning system, resizable window, DAW synchronisation, re-metering of edits to update integrated loudness and loudness range, Meter history that can be navigated and zoomed in/out, and a multitude of meter ballistics.

Traditional: Compatible with all revisions of ITU-R BS.1770 and fully supporting (including deprecated versions) EBU R-128, ATSC A/85, OP-59, ARIB TR-B32, AGCOM 219/09/CSP Digital: Netflix, Spotify, Youtube, Apple Check, Hulu and TIDAL. We will continually update Bute with new features and presets. We would like to hear people's feedback and suggestions for updates! Last edited by russ_signum; 03-31-2018 at 08:41 AM. |

Re: Signum Audio's Bute Loudness Analyser: Feedback/Suggestions
I do like it - a lot!
It is smooth as butter - very refined and simple interface Will there be an audiosuite version for Pro Tools as well (or maybe I am just looking in the wrong drawer?)

Re: Signum Audio's Bute Loudness Analyser: Feedback/Suggestions
We have just released the Bute Loudness Suite. It includes the Loudness Analyser as well as a new integrated True Peak Brickwall Limiter and AudioSuite Normaliser. We have developed a novel limiter design that will reliably catch any overshoots in a very transparent manner. As always, we are continuing to work on updates to improve Bute even further. We are happy to take further input/ideas on board during the process.
There has been lot of interest in our pro-audio loudness solution from a range of professionals, so we’ve decided to split Bute into the Suite and the Analyser as separate offerings. We are now offering the Analyser at £69 (+ vat) for Stereo and £89 (+ vat) for Surround, whilst the Suite maintains the original price. Purchase / try: https://signumaudio.com/bute-loudness-suite |

Re: Signum Audio's Bute Loudness Analyser: Feedback/Suggestions
I just bought this, and love it. A bargain for the price. A couple possible ideas (really comparing it to the VISLM plugin).
Customizable colors would be fantastic. And one thing that VISLM has that I do miss, is sort of a color-coded 'range' that can show you your upper and lower limits, with that area in between a nice solid 'green' so you can really see at a glance visually if you're in the target zone, without having to rely on the numbers. So you set above -22LUFS to be one color, between -22 and -26 to be say green, and below -26 to be another. Really makes it very easy at a glance to see where you are in reference to loudness. But otherwise really great plugin, and well worth the price! Tim |

Re: Signum Audio's Bute Loudness Analyser: Feedback/Suggestions
Not sure NLEs would be your target market but downloaded and installed trial and did quick test:
Avid Media Composer (v8.9.2 - AAX) - seems to work fine, ganging of plug-in and sequence works well - good for seeing & fixing problem areas. Expand/Collapse worked. Really like the look of it. (TC for sequence not reflected in UI though - shows from 00:00:00.) Resolve (v15b2 - this is beta) Resolve crashed out when I tried to add the VST version of the plug-in. The AU version worked ok but switching expand/collapse view does not correctly resize the plug-in window. Might well be a beta issue. Gang seems to work OK - added bonus of correct sequence timecode in plugin UI. Adobe Premiere Pro (v12.1.1) VST3 Gang works. Switching to collapsed view kept plug-in window large but with a smaller black display where the collapsed view should have been. Closing plug-in window and reopening made collapsed UI appear - still within the larger window. VST - Applied to master track OK but crashed Premiere when trying to open the plug-in UI. AU - best version. Gang worked, switching collapsed/expanded had UI window resize and be populated correctly. (TC for sequence not reflected though - shows from 00:00:00) Premiere has a bug/feature that for multichannel sequences only the audio routed to A1 hits the plug-in (i.e. plug-in shows as 'mono'). |
