One meter per read.
Each free meter answers one question about your mix — and tells you what to fix. This is the method itself, given away: the same references the paid plugins work to — learn one read at a time, and the paid tools will already speak your language.
Free means free. Download the installer, run it, work. No account, no password, no email address required.
ZEROPINK | VU Meter
Free · Live nowTwo needles at 300 ms true-VU ballistics, calibrated so 0 VU = −18 dBFS. The TRIM card does the arithmetic — it names UNDER, ON TARGET or HOT and prints the exact move in dB. Correlation, density and crest sit underneath. Zero latency; nothing here processes your audio.
ZEROPINK | Loudness
Free · Live nowLUFS, true peak and crest — how the level moves, where the VU meter reads what it sustains. The same reference system, read dynamically.
ZEROPINK | Spectrum
Free · Live nowEleven octave bands read against pink noise — the slope mixes that translate tend to sit on. A balanced mix reads flat against the pink line; the further a band drifts, the hotter it glows. LOWS, MIDS and HIGHS each carry a verdict and the correction in dB; BALANCE scores the whole mix 0–100 and TILT names the slope. Set TUNE to the key and the bands land on the song’s octaves. A meter, not a processor.
The installers are signed and notarised. Every ZEROPINK plugin carries the wordmark back to this site — that is the only string attached. Questions to support@zeropink.net.
