Raw Material releases PPMulator

Raw Material Software has released PPMulator. PPMulator is a cross-platform VST plug-in meter for digital audio workstations which exactly mimics the look and feel of a professional broadcast Peak Programme Meter (PPM). By adding this little plugin to the master output of your audio editing program, you can record, edit, mix and export your audio within a precisely-calibrated workspace - something which is often impossible to do when working in a non-studio environment.

PPMulator is designed to closely-follow the ballistics of mono, stereo and mid-side (MS) PPM meters (conforming to IEC 268-10/DIN 45406) and has a number of built-in additional features, including various display style options and a highly-useful Peak Logging process which logs all peaks/overloads against the timecode in the host application where they occurred.

PPMulator features:

VST plug-in for both Windows and Macintosh, 100% compatible with Tracktion, Nuendo and other hosts
Configurable as a Type I/Type II PPM, or set your own custom reference levels, ballistics and settings
Both ‘box-and-needle’ PPM or plasma bargraph graphical display options
Unique Peak Logging feature - create lists of ‘overs’ logged against timecode for unattended mixes/laybacks
Mono/Stereo/Mid-Side (MS) metering options, with overload led
Fully-resizable single or dual meter display, from massive to weeny
Monitor both input level when recording and output level when mixing
Also includes ’standalone’ version for monitoring the input levels from a soundcard
Mono gain trim to M3 (-3dB) or M6 (-6dB) standards
Phase-error warning light for maximum mono compatibility
Built-in reference tone generator for meter alignment and calibration
