    3 Design
    dpMeter II combines two meter into one and adds manual loudness matching:
    RMS: accurate multi channel RMS meter with variable window size and true peak
    measurement based on ITU 1770.
    EBU R128: loudness meter based on EBU R128 including true peak and LRA
    measurement
    Additional manual loudness/peal/TP match with reference level

    4 Minimum System Requirements


    Windows XP SP3 or newer
    Mac OS X 10.5 or newer
    Win: 32/64 Bit VST, 32/64 Bit VST3, 32 Bit RTAS, 32/64 Bit AAX

    Tested with: Cockos Reaper, Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo/Wavelab 6/7/8, FL Studio
    12.x, PT10/12
    All sample rates

    5 How to use
    dpMeter II is designed to reset all internal measurements if significant parameter changes are
    made. This keeps all displays updated.
    dpMeter II uses various graphical elements to control the parameters of the plugin:

    Value box:
    Mouse click and drag up/down changes value of the parameter.
    Mouse double click on knob resets value.
    Mouse double click on value opens value input box.

    Popup menu button:

    Mouse click opens popup menu.

    Loudness/peak/TP match

    By shift mouse clicking on measurement descriptions the current value with be matched with
    the reference level.
    Example: Max Peak (RMS) shows -6 dBFS, reference level shows -1 dBFS. If you click now
    with shift key hold on the text "Max Peak", the gain value is automatically set to (+)5 dB.
    Now Max Peak should show -1 dBFS.
    This is very handy if you want to set the loudness/peak/TP to a certain reference level with
    just a mouse click.
