🔊 FREE Metering Plugin I Actually Use (No Joke)

If you’re looking for a free metering plugin that actually holds up in real-world mix and master sessions, iZotope Insight 2 is one I genuinely use and trust. It’s especially helpful for loudness, true peak, and mix translation checks before you bounce.

Hey MP fam! 👋

Quick heads-up on an awesome limited-time freebie from the fine folks at Native Instruments & iZotope:

Even if you already have a hardware meter (I still love my trusty TC Electronic Clarity M), you’ll probably find iZotope Insight 2 incredibly useful.

My favorite feature? Offline loudness analysis.

I use this all the time—select a mix or master in my DAW, hit Analyze, and poof… you get an accurate, detailed readout of LUFS, True Peak, and all the other stuff that actually matters when you’re delivering mixes.

Anyway—thanks for indulging my excitement 🤠. I just had to share this one, because it’s genuinely useful and hard to pass up.
