HB Meter

HB Meter (version 1.0.0) is a 5-band metering plugin with clean visuals and precise numerical readouts.

Built as a measurement tool for guiding EQ decisions and spectrally balancing your sounds. The 5-band readout shows you where energy is sitting and how loud each region really is, making it easier to spot imbalances that aren’t always obvious by ear alone.

Equipped with a high-resolution spectrum analyzer above the meters with adjustable display range, per-band bias controls for offsetting individual bands, and solo/mute buttons for isolating specific frequency regions.

HB Meter does not affect the sound at all. It is a pure measurement tool that cannot alter the signal in any way.

Compatibility

• Works in any VST3-compatible DAW on Windows 10+ (64-bit), and as VST3 or AU on macOS.
• Optimized for 48 kHz sessions. Other sample rates will work but may show slight inaccuracies.
• Other versions coming in a future release.
