A new update has been released!

I have added new Dolby dialog gated measurements so the Netflix preset is now supported. You can also see the dialog indication in the histogram too.

Another new addition is integrated relative gate visualization in the histogram. Using that feature you can visualize what parts of the audio are influencing the calculation of the integrated loudness. More on that in future blog posts.

The export feature got more versatile, and now you can export only loudness or dynamics graphs, but you can also export graph memory files too. That memory file can be saved and then imported in the future if you need a detail graph inspection.

You can now resize the window by its sides which can be useful. (why I haven't added that feature earlier)

The standalone app got many new features like always on top, saving a project file and remembering window position.

Note that preferences for the standalone app will be reset, so you will need to set up it again.
Also, the Windows app and installer might show SmartScreen warning until Microsoft approves it. On the download page, you have an explanation on how to install if you see that warning.

As you might know, many big schools, TV and radio stations, corporations, etc. are using Youlean Loudness Meter in their workflow. So, I decided to collect permissions to write on my website who is using it. 

If you are a part of such a corporation and want to help out, please let me know!

Is the 'Pro' edition worth the upgrade price?  

That kind of depends on your viewpoint and usage.

I think I got my monies worth.

Solid plugin, responsive developer.
There's been a consistent stream of bug fixes and enhancements.
Free perpetual updates
- no WUP, no version upgrade fees
I probably don't use most of the features but nice to know that they're there if opportunity knocks.
