One Question. Are You In The Green?

This is Live View, running. Every meter grades itself against your target the moment audio hits it amber below, green in range, red over the line. No numbers to interpret. Just colour.

An illustration of how Live View behaves, not a live measurement — the plugin reads your actual audio, and the targets are yours to set.

The Interface

Everything It Does, At A Glance

Two modes, one plugin. Hover a dot — or a control below — to see what it does.

Greenlight Meter — Live View

01Target Profile

Every saved set of targets lives here. Jump between a mixing target, a mastering target and a client reference without rebuilding anything.

02View Switch

Flip between Live View and Set Targets. Live View is the one you leave open while you work.

03Meter Ring

The current reading, its unit, and a ring that turns green in range, amber below target and red over your maximum.

04Held Value

The highest reading since your last reset. Play the whole song, walk away, and review the extremes afterward.

05Reset

Clears every held and accumulated reading and starts a fresh pass. It never touches your saved targets or your selected profile.

The Meters

Seven Readings, Zero Guesswork

Every measurement that decides whether a mix translates — in plain language, in one place.

PeakdBFS
The loudest single moment your audio hits. Your basic “how close am I to the top” reading.
True PeakdBTP
Catches the peaks that sneak between samples — the ones that can distort on playback or after conversion even when your regular peak meter says you are fine.
LUFS IntegratedLUFS
The overall average loudness of everything played since your last reset. This is how loud your song is, start to finish.
LUFS Short-TermLUFS
How loud the song feels right now, over a short moving window. Great for watching your loudest sections in real time.
RMSdBFS
The average, sustained energy of the signal — the body of the sound rather than its spikes.
Dynamic RangeDR
The relationship between your peaks and your short-term loudness. High readings feel open and punchy; low readings feel dense and limited. It tells you how squashed the mix is. Also known as PSR.
Mid DensitydB
A focused reading of your midrange energy — the weight and density living in the part of the spectrum listeners feel most.
Draw Your Own Lines
Your Targets

Draw Your Own Lines

The targets are not universal rules. They are your reference points, built around your material, your genre and your workflow. Position the markers where you want them and the plugin confirms, at a glance, when you are approaching, hitting, or blowing past them.

  • Drag markers to set a minimum and maximum per meter
  • Audio keeps updating live while you adjust
  • Hide any measurement that is not part of your workflow
  • Change how each indicator behaves from its own name
Your Targets, Saved & Ready
Profiles & Workflow

Your Targets, Saved & Ready

A profile stores a complete set of target ranges for every meter, so you can jump between standards without rebuilding anything — a personal mixing target, a mastering target, a streaming target, a client reference, or one per stage of production.

  • Load it last, near the end of your master bus
  • Pick a profile for the job
  • Set your targets against the loudest section
  • Switch to Live View and keep working
  • Play the full song, then review the held values
  • Reset before your next pass

FAQ

Common Questions

Load it last — near the end of your master bus or monitoring chain — so it reads what actually leaves your session.

No. It is a monitoring plugin. It measures and grades what passes through it and leaves the signal alone.

Amber means the reading has not reached the minimum you set. Green means it is inside your target range. Red means it has crossed your maximum. You decide where those lines sit.

No. Held values stay locked until you deliberately press Reset. They do not clear when you switch views or during normal playback, so you can play a whole song and review the extremes afterward.
