Supported Platforms and Hosts
For compatibility information about plug-ins, visit the Plug-in Operating System and DAW Compatibility FAQ.
When we release an SSL plug-in, we test it on all Windows and macOS operating systems that aren't End-of-Life (EOL) at the time of release. We test the plug-ins on a range of DAWs, using the latest version publicly available version of each one. It is possible our products may work on platforms outside of this list. However, if you are using a DAW not listed below, or an older DAW version (perhaps several years old), we recommend you demo the product before purchase to confirm that it works correctly.
Demo/Trial
To demo this plug-in, you can simply download it from the product page and run it up in your host - the software will guide you through the rest of the process.
- Download and install the plug-in.
- Open your DAW/host.
- Insert the plug-in to commence activation (sometimes this will happen when the plug-in is scanned on startup, depending on your DAW/host).
- When you see 'Activation is required', click 'Try'.
- Log into your iLok account and click 'Next'.
- Select a location to activate the license to, and click 'Next'.
Installation and Download
We recommend using the SSL Download Manager application to to easily manage all SSL plug-in installations all from one place, on both macOS and Windows. In addition to easily installing, uninstalling or reinstalling individual or every SSL plug-in at the click of a button, the SSL Download Manager also provides you with detailed release notes and lets you know when updates are available.
You can also download offline installers for a plug-in from here.
All SSL plug-ins are supplied in VST, VST3, AU (macOS only) and AAX (Pro Tools) formats.
The installers provided (macOS Intel .dmg and Windows .exe) copy the plug-in binaries to the common VST, VST3, AU and AAX directories. After this, the host DAW should recognise the plug-in automatically in most cases. Simply run the installer and you should be good to go. You can find more information about how to authorise your plug-ins below.

Features
COLLAPSE/EXPAND
The Loudness section can be collapsed/expanded from view using the arrow at the top-left of the section.
TRUE PEAK (TP)
Turns on True Peak metering for the Loudness module. True Peak mode oversamples the signal for a more accurate reading that will detect intersample peaks.
METER SCALE RANGE
Sets the Scale Range for the loudness graphs and meters.
Choose from the following options, relative to target integrated loudness:
- -18 to +9 LU
- -36 to +18 LU
- -54 to +27 LU
LOUDNESS MEASUREMENT OPERATION
Choose how the loudness history is captured:
AUTO PAUSE - Analysis takes place only when the DAW is playing back and the Play/Pause button above is in the play state. The time axis shows elapsed time since the last reset.
AUTO PAUSE & RESET - The same as AUTO PAUSE but loudness measurements are reset upon the DAW entering Play.
DAW SYNC - Loudness measurements are captured and stored against the DAW’s timeline position. The DAW timeline is reflected on the X-axis.
SYSTEM - Similar to DAW SYNC but Loudness measurements are captured and stored against the computer's system clock (time of day). Useful for scheduled or programmed events.
CONTINUOUS - Loudness measurements run continuously regardless of DAW transport state. The X-axis shows elapsed time since the last reset.
HISTORY WINDOW SIZE
Specifies the duration of time shown by the History graph.
Choose from the following options:
- Auto Condense (automatically increases the window size to display all data being written).
- 10 secs to 1 minute (in 10 second increments).
- 1 minute to 30 mins (in 1 min increments).
- 30 mins to 4 hours (in 30 min increments).
- 4 hours to 24 hours (in 1 hour increments).
HISTORY AUTO SCROLL
The History graph will scroll automatically when this button is on. If you drag the history graph to manually scroll through the History, this button will turn off. Auto Scroll is disabled when in Auto Condense mode.
INTEGRATED LOUDNESS GATING MODE
Sets the gating mode for integrated loudness measurements. Program-gating is used to exclude quieter sections of the program that could skew the loudness measurements. A 10 LU relative gate has been recommended since revision 2 of BS.1770 (ITU-R).
Choose from:
- Gate Off - no gating is applied
- Program -8
- Program -10
INTEGRATED LOUDNESS TARGET
Sets the integrated loudness target value when in ITU mode.
Sets the recommended upper volume limit in Leq(m) mode.
The mode is set via the Settings menu.
DIALOGUE DETECTION
Activates/de-activates Dolby's proprietary speech-gated measurement method (Dolby Dialogue Intelligence™). Designed to measure loudness only in sections that contain dialogue. It is to be used in conjunction with the Integrated Dialogue and Loudness Range Dialogue numerical value readouts. You'll find this enabled in presets such 'Netflix Online Streaming'.
MOMENTARY LOUDNESS METER, LOUDNESS RANGE & SHORT-TERM INDICATOR
The bar on the left of the plug-in displays momentary loudness. The bracket to the left of the bar indicates loudness range, whilst the triangle to the right of the bar indicates the current short term loudness.
SHORT-TERM LOUDNESS HISTORY
Displays the short-term loudness over time. The point at which the shade of blue changes from dark blue to light blue in the plug-in interface illustrates the target level.
UNIVERSE
Beneath the short-term history graph is the Universe display area, which is an overview of the entire loudness history.
HISTOGRAM
Shows the distribution of short-term loudness. This gives you an idea of the 'action areas' of the loudness across the course of your measurement. The bigger the peak(s), the greater the amount of short-term loudness measured at that value(s).
NUMERICAL LOUDNESS READOUTS
On the right-hand side of the plug-in there are numerical value readout boxes for many different loudness measurements. 4 large readouts and 6 smaller ones.
Different presets call up different configurations of these readouts, depending on what is important to that particular standard. The red boxes indicate an alert has been configured - see Settings section for more information on alerts.
You can customise these boxes to display the specific loudness readouts you are interested in, by clicking on the small arrow in the bottom-right. Doing so will reveal the following list of options:
- No Source - leaves a blank box.
- Integrated Loudness - A measure of average loudness of audio over a sustained period of time or piece of content, such as an entire song.
- Integrated Loudness Dialogue Gated -A measure of average loudness of audio over a sustained period of time or piece of content, using the Dialog Detection algorithm from Dolby Laboratories.
- Loudness Range - An indication of the dynamic properties of a piece of audio or song. Think of this as a statistical representation of musical dynamics of a given audio clip.
- LRA Dialogue Gated (Loudness Range Dialogue Gated) - An indication of the dynamic properties of a piece of audio or song. Think of this as a statistical representation of musical dynamics of a given audio clip. Note that this is only applicable to sections of the audio where dialog is detected.
- Dialogue - Displays the percentage of detected dialogue in the source. Applicable only when Dialogue Detection mode is enabled.
- True Peak Max - The maximum true peak level measured across all channels.
- PLR (Peak to Long-Term Loudness Ratio) -The difference between measured (gated) Integrated Loudness of a piece of audio or song and the True Peak ceiling. Think of this as a long-term gated average of dynamics over time.
- PSR (Peak to Short-Term Loudness Ratio) -The difference between measured (ungated) Short-Term Loudness and the maximum True Peak. This is good for an almost real time indication of the audio being played.
- Short-Term Loudness -Loudness measured over a short-period of time. Useful for identifying the loudness of a particular section of a piece of audio. Typically 3 seconds but can vary depending on the standard.
- Short-Term Max - Displays the maximum short-term loudness value measured in the current loudness period.
- Momentary Loudness - Loudness measured over a sliding window. Typically 400 ms but can vary depending on the standard.
- Momentary Max -Displays the maximum momentary loudness value measured in the current loudness period.
LOUDNESS SETTINGS
Advanced Loudness settings are accessed using the 'Settings' icon:
- Loudness History Save - Turns on/off the saving of Loudness History to the session data. Long history recordings may take up large amounts of data on disk and can also cause performance problems. Whilst editing your program, you could turn off the history saving and then re-enable it once editing is complete.
- Integrated Loudness Target Variance - Sets the Integrated Loudness Target variance/tolerance. When enabling the alert for integrated loudness, the value set here allows for an amount of wiggle-room, above/below the exact target loudness. e.g. a variance of 1 LU for a target of -23 LUFS, means that any integrated value between -24 and 22 LUFS will not result in the Integrated Loudness value readout box turning red.
- Short Term Integration Time - Sets the short-term integration time. Typically 3 seconds.
- Momentary Integration Time - Sets the momentary integration time. Typically 400 ms.
- Minimum Dialogue - When the detected program dialogue is below the % set by this parameter, then the Integrated Dialogue and Dialogue Loudness Range readouts will be dimmed.
- Display Type - Determines if the loudness meter displays absolute or relative measurements. When set to Relative, loudness units will show as 'LU' or 'LK'.
- Terminology - Sets the LK(FS)/LU(FS) loudness terminology, as used by different organisations.
- Mode - Configures Meter Pro for ITU-R BS.1770-based loudness measurements or Leq(m)-based measurements. ITU mode produces K-weighted loudness unit measurements, Leq(m) mode produces M-weighted Leq measurements. ITU-R BS.1770 compliance requires various other settings to be correctly configured also. If in doubt, load a preset that meets the standard you are working to.
- Surround Weighting - Sets the weighting of the rear channels.
- Integrated Overlap - ON sets a minimum overlap to comply with the majority of standards. OFF is required for TASA (0% overlap).
- Integrated Loudness Alert - Toggles the alert for integrated loudness on/off. When at the integrated loudness target (or at target and within variance), the text readout for Integrated Loudness is shown in green. If below the integrated loudness target, the text is shown in normal colour. If above the integrated loudness target, the text is shown in red.
- Integrated Loudness Dialogue Alert - Toggles the alert for integrated loudness dialogue readout on/off. When at the integrated loudness alert target (or at target and within variance), the text readout for Integrated Loudness Dialogue is shown in green. If below the integrated loudness target, the text is shown in normal colour. If above the integrated loudness target, the text is shown in red.
- True Peak Max Alert - Sets the True Peak Maximum alert level. When the measured true peak max reaches or breaches the alert value, the True Peak Max text readout goes red.
- Short-Term Max Alert - Sets the Short Term Maximum alert level. When the measured short-term max reaches or breaches the alert value, the Short-Term Max text readout goes red.
- Momentary Max Alert - Sets the Momentary Maximum alert level. When the measured momentary max reaches or breaches the alert value, the Momentary Max text readout goes red.
- Loudness Range Min Alert - Sets the minimum Loudness Range alert. When the measured Loudness Range is below this, the Loudness Range value text readout goes red.
- Loudness Range Max Alert - Sets the maximum Loudness Range alert. When the measured Loudness Range is above this, the Loudness Range value text readout goes red.
- Loudness Range Dialogue Min Alert - Sets the minimum Loudness Range Dialogue alert.When the measured Loudness Range Dialogue is below this, the Loudness Range Dialogue value text readout goes red.
- Loudness Range Dialogue Max Alert - Sets the maximum Loudness Range Dialogue alert. When the measured Loudness Range Dialogue is above this, the Loudness Range Dialogue value text readout goes red.

Overview Module - Advanced Settings
Advanced settings are accessed using the 'Settings' icon in the bottom bar.
LISSAJOUS FADE TIME
Determines how long the history of the Lissajous stays on screen.
Analogue Meters Module
The Analogue Meters module displays instantaneous level values on a set of meters like the kind you would find on a piece of analogue hardware.
ANALOGUE METERS MODE
Selects the type of Analogue Metering. Choose from VU or PPM.
ANALOGUE METERS - VU
Volume Unit Meter. Works in a similar way to human hearing providing an averaged representation of signal level.
The main needle (black) shows the current value whilst a secondary Max Value needle (red) shows the maximum value reached since the VU meters were last reset.
The overload indicator responds to peak signal levels and will come on when the peak level exceeds 0VU by the threshold set by the Overload LED Threshold parameter (Advanced Settings).
ANALOGUE METERS - PPM
Peak Programme Meter - Type II. Also known as a Quasi PPM. Favoured by many as a useful tool in helping to achieve a good programme balance.
The main needle (white) shows the current value whilst a secondary Max Value needle (red) shows the maximum value reached since the PPM meters were last reset.
LINE-UP
Determines the 0 VU line up. Options to choose from:
- 0 dBu - leave set to 0 dBu if no analogue offset reference is required
- +4 dBu
- -2 dBu
+4 dBu equals 0 VU is the Standard VU method. -2 dBu equals 0 VU is the French method.
ANALOGUE METERS REFERENCE LEVEL
Sets the reference level in dBFS for the Analogue Meters. The meter reading is also affected by the choice of 0 VU line-up.
DUAL FORMAT
Determines the source signals for the analogue meters.
When Custom is selected, the labels above the VU/PPM meters become drop-down lists. Select the source for each VU/PPM meter from the list of options presented.
Analogue Meters Module - Advanced Settings
Advanced settings are accessed using the 'Settings' icon in the bottom bar.
MAX NEEDLE
Determines the hold time of the Max Value Needle. Choose Infinite, 2 seconds or Off to disable the Max Value Needle.
OVERLOAD LED THRESHOLD
Determines the threshold above 0 VU at which the overload LED comes on when the peak signal level exceeds it. Choose 'Off' to turn off the overload LED completely.
Real Time Analyser (RTA) Module
The Real Time Analyser (RTA) module displays the frequency spectrum of the source.
Bar graph
Each represents the level of the signal in that frequency band (lighter colour), and the peak hold value is displayed in the background (darker colour).
Selecting a band
To select a band, simply click it. When a band is selected, it will be highlighted. The currently selected band, current and max values are displayed above the graph.
Mousing over a band
When you mouseover a band, information about this band will temporarily be displayed. This will also temporarily override the selected band.
COLLAPSE/EXPAND
The RTA section can be collapsed/expanded from view using the arrow at the top-left of the section.
RESET PEAKS
Resets the Peak Hold metering on the RTA graph.
MIN, MAX, PK HOLD and AVERAGING
RTA SCALE MIN (BOTTOM)
Sets the value represented at the bottom of the RTA bar graph.
RTA SCALE MAX (TOP)
Sets the value represented at the top of the RTA bar graph.
RTA PEAK HOLD
Sets the Peak Hold time for the RTA. The Peak Hold for the RTA is indicated by the darker fill in the background.
RTA AVERAGING
Sets the averaging time of the RTA. When set to 'Real Time' then no time averaging is applied. When set to 'Infinite'
BAND INFORMATION
RTA BAND FREQUENCY
Displays the current frequency selection of the RTA graph.
CURRENT RTA BAND READOUT
Displays the current value of the RTA band.
MAX RTA BAND READOUT
Displays the maximum value of the RTA band since the last reset.
Real Time Analyser (RTA) Module - Advanced Settings
Advanced settings are accessed using the 'Settings' icon in the bottom bar.
RTA ANALYSIS SOURCE
Determines which source signal(s) is feeding the RTA. Choose from the list of individual channels or summed sources.
RTA WEIGHTING
Weighting Options:
- None
- A-Weighting
- C-Weighting
Determines if A-Weighting or C-Weighting is applied to the RTA.
A-weighting more accurately reflects human hearing at a low listening levels. C-weighting better reflects human hearing at higher sound levels, with more sensitivity towards low frequencies. Choose None to apply no weighting.
Global Settings
Global Delay - Applies a global delay to the meter activity (not audio) to allow for manual time-alignment of metering if DAW tracks have different latencies.
True Peak High Quality - Turns on True Peak High Quality mode. Provides a higher quality of oversampling, at the expense of additional CPU.
ANA/RTA Sum Compensation - When the analogue meters or RTA source is a sum of channels, this determines whether a normalising compensation (negative) gain is applied.
Presets
All of our plug-ins ship with carefully designed presets to aid your workflow.
Factory presets are included in the plug-in installation, installed in the following locations:
macOS: /Library/Application Support/Solid State Logic/PlugIns/Presets/[Plug-in Name]
Windows: C:\ProgramData\Solid State Logic\PlugIns\Presets\[Plug-in Name]
Switching between presets can be achieved by clicking the left/right arrows in the preset management section of the plug-in GUI, and by clicking on the preset name which will open the preset management display.
The Preset Management menu reflects the folder structure of the preset folder.
Revert Changes and Delete
- Revert Changes discards any changes to the current preset.
- Delete removes the current preset from the filesystem. Factory and Producer presets cannot be deleted from the plug-in GUI, although they can be manually deleted using the filesystem (Windows Explorer or Finder).
A/B and Copy
- A/B allows you to toggle quickly between two presets. This is useful for comparing between two parameter settings.
- COPY A TO B and COPY B to A is used to copy presets between A/B and vice-versa.
UNDO/REDO
SSL plug-ins come with a built-in UNDO/REDO stack, in case your DAW doesn't handle this.
- UNDO undoes the current action in the history stack.
- REDO re-does the next action in the history stack.
Re-scalable GUI
The SSL Meter Pro plug-in is re-scalable from 50% all the way to 200%. Click the 'magnifying glass' icon in the bottom right-hand corner to rescale the GUI.
Built-in Help
This plug-in features built-in contextual help. To turn this feature on, click the '?' in the bottom right-hand corner. Mouse over elements of the GUI to see some information about the feature.
