Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source loudness and spectrum analyzer with fourteen arrangeable meters, desktop and tablet builds, DAW plugins, offline analysis, and a command-line interface.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-23 issue.

Why it surfaced

This is unusually explicit about how its measurements work: BS.1770-4 loudness, EBU R128 gating, true-peak oversampling, a 4096-point spectrum window, and correctness checks against EBU reference cases. The same engine drives the browser analyzer, native applications, plugins, and CLI, turning a familiar audio utility into a careful study in reuse and measurement discipline.
