TORONTO: September 29, 2010 -Audio Pluggers, creators of K-Meter are pleased to announce the immediate availability of K-Meter VST. Previously available only as an Audio Unit, K-Meter provides audio engineers with the latest in loudness metering tools, helping them to create dynamic, consistent, and high quality mixes. K-Meter adheres to ITU-R BS.1770-1 and combines it with Bob Katz's K-System, having support for True Peak and perceived loudness (LKFS) metering.
