Master Meter is a LUFS meter for Ableton Live that helps you monitor loudness clearly and make faster level decisions while mixing and mastering.
Master Meter is a free Max for Live loudness metering plugin for Ableton Live. Built on the ITU-R BS.1770 standard, it gives you broadcast-grade metering — Momentary, Short-term, and Integrated LUFS, True Peak, LRA, RMS, and a real-time waveform — all with zero latency.
Full ITU-R BS.1770-5 compliance. V2 True Peak uses 4× oversampling with a 48-tap FIR interpolation filter — the same algorithm used in professional broadcast loudness meters.
Pure monitoring — no processing, no latency. Your audio passes through completely untouched. Drop it on your Master track and forget about it.
No trials, no feature gates, no upsells. Full-featured loudness metering for every Ableton Live producer. Download and use it — that's it.
