Plugin Boutique is currently offering a limited-time sale on MeterPlugs Perception AB, a plugin that enables you to compare the audio before and after with level-matching in order to avoid falling for “loudness deception.”

Loudness has an impact on our perception of music. At first, louder may seem better, but it’s easy to be tricked. When mixing and mastering, you continually need to ask yourself, “Is this genuinely better? Or just louder?” Listening with matched loudness is the key to making reliable, real-world judgments. This has always been a crucial skill for mixing and mastering engineers, a skill that can take years to acquire. Until now…

With Perception AB, the level of the music you’re listening to is instantly and automatically matched, enabling you to bypass the “loudness deception” and make clear, real-world decisions about achieving the best possible sound for your music quickly and easily. You can bypass entire processing chains to compare EQ settings, compression, and more before and after while mixing or mastering. You can even bypass external analog gear!

Perception AB features:

  • Bypass any processing chain.
  • Fast A/B testing.
  • Automatic loudness matching.
  • Plugin delay compensation.
  • Optimized for mixing – new Bypass All function.
  • Multiple loudness matching modes.
  • Easy bulk insertion.

Perception AB is available for Windows and Mac in VST/VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats. It is currently on sale for £76.95 GBP / $104 USD until June 30th, 2023.
