Song Composition and Release
Did you know that audio levels can have an affect on external hardware and even plugins? Hardware (and some plugins) are designed for specific input levels - exceeding those levels can cause unwanted distortion and a loss of quality. James Wiltshire explains how K-Meter can be used to ensure proper levels.
I purchased your K-Meter beta, and I love it. I've tried every metering plug available, and I love yours the best. Great graphics, readability, ballistics, etc. All so well done. Thanks! Tom Third (tomthird.com)
This is the meter to use if you are serious about the K-System. It is accurate, easy to read, and contains tools for calibration. In addition, the interface is neat and collapses well if necessary. Dr. Heinrich Hohl
Just shouting out a big THANK YOU!!! for the K Meter plugin - I have been looking for a dedicated meter to use with logic without having to instigate 3 or more different plugins to monitor using the K -System. I have adopted the K system into my mixes for some time now and it vastly improves dynamics and clarity in digital land! I only hope the rest of the industry gets onboard! People would not be arguing ITB vs OTB Mixing if they all used your plugin! Timothy Kling (aka. Namatoke)
