KVR Developer Challenge WINNER

Youlean Loudness Meter was the winner of KVR Developer Challenge 2016.

As one of the prizes, the plugin was presented on NAMM Show 2017 in Los Angeles.

Youlean (Julijan Nikolic) is also part of the FL Studio alpha team, and many of his work like Patcher presets and ZGameEditor Visualizer effects are already part of FL Studio.


Why Youlean Loudness Meter?

“Once I learned about loudness metering using LUFS, I was really fascinated. The problem was that the plugins for measuring it were (and still are) really expensive and there were no free ones that can get you started.

So, I have decided to create a free loudness meter that will be even better than the most expensive ones.”
