Brainworxs should learn from these ADPTR guys, they aren’t trying to sell us the same plugin multiple times just by changing the UI or adding features like “now it has true peak”, that’s ridiculous, Huge applause for ADPTR 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
agreed! it is called updating and keeping things current. Elysia Compressors being postage stamp sized - despite multiple call outs from users to fix this no action has been taken. Saying "we are working on it" is not enough, when making a plugin resizeable takes 5 years....or actually never happens.
There're a lot of similar plugins out there, some of them even indispensable, however, what PA has done with this is what every plugin manufacturer really ought to have written at the top of the whiteboard in every meeting: make it intuitive, make it easy to look at, and don't include any functionality or aesthetic component that is distracting in any way. It's a little masterpiece.
This plugin is the best. I was really hoping to see the main UI zooming, scrolling and start/stop endpoint janketyness fixed though. It’s pretty much the only issue that really bothers my workflow. The scroll and zooming increments when you’re going to zoom in and set loop points on a reference track are WAY too big to be very precise. Further, the way scrolling is handled sucks. Instead of scrolling a fraction of the total window width at a time, it scrolls the ENTIRE window width at each step. If that makes sense. It makes it suuuper annoying to hone in on certain parts of a track to set loop/end points. Hope this is addressed someday, it’s a real UX bummer in what is otherwise an incredibly well designed plugin UI! Thanks for everything!
Great news and an excellent explanatory video. I had the plugin stored in oblivion despite how good it is, for the simple fact that it didn't support M1 natively for too long. Now I can enjoy its novelties and its benefits. Thanks and greetings from Spain.
Thanks for the update . But I still missing a simply function to set a keybind for e.g. AB button with a key command - still not feasible or did I overseen it ? Kind regards and thanks for the video🎉
this is one of the most frustrating plugins i have ever used. I've tried to learn this 3 different times and every time I'm at a loss. we all know how to click buttons, how do you use it? do you have to use exported files or can this work in your actual session? how do you get your reference to not get affected by master mix vst? there are 0 videos out there showing how to actually use this to make your song match the characteristics of another song. all that's out there is UI tutorials
You put it at the end of your mastering chain on your master channel. . the A side is your track, and the uploaded B ref track won't be effected by your plugins .
@@jrm_music7229 That doesn't answer his question.... what is important to know that NO ONE talks about is if the plugin is playing you audio separate from the mastering chain or not... if it's including plugins in the mastering chain in playback of reference tracks then setting this plugin up is important and NOT talked about by anyone. It SHOULD be able to playback tracks NOT affected by any plugins at all... but does it? If not that means you need to set up a master channel above the DAWs default master channel so you can put this plugin on a track with no plugins and route into it.
I love this plugin and I use it in every mix. I have some feedback that I think would make it even better. I would love to be able to map each individual reference track to a pad. I have an Arturia beatstep controller which has 16 pads. Being able to instantly switch between the 16 tracks assigned individually to each pad would be amazing. The only way I seem to be able to map the track switching is via a knob which works ok but it would be an insane workflow improvement to be able to just hit a pad for each track instead of scrolling through them all to find the one you want with a midi knob. It would also be great to be able to map other parameters in this way like the filter preset for example. I am working in Ableton and I can't seem to find a way to make this work as I can't select each individual track slot or filter preset button in midi mapping mode. If the plugin was programmed so that each track slot has its own MIDI CC assignment then this would work just like it does with the A/B switch button. If you guys could make this work in a future update, that would totally make my day!
something very obvious no one talks about,and its crazy, the reference songs played are also processed by the effects in your master buss, which is a shame or at least how do we remove or fix. of course when am mastering I want to compare my work plus the effects am adding to the reference but the reference should just play without going through the master buss.
Well this is wonderful, but I had no idea there was an update. Perhaps the Installation Manager should be updated as well to let people know there’s a new version available. Right now it doesn’t even tell us what version is latest. Great stuff all round by the way!🙏
Thank you for the feedback. This is a top-requested feature, amongst some other Installation Manager upgrades. We're taking this into consideration as we plan our development roadmap for 2024.
@@PluginAllianceTV cheers! Updates have a magical way of making older plugins new and relevant again. Things like the SPL stuff, Noveltech, and of course the BX range are modern classics and deserve all the love.
So i got this and figured out... it WON'T by pass any effects AFTER this plugin... but it WILL bypass anything ahead of it. so if the track playing your A has EQ and compression on it and this plugin is at the end of that same track, the B from metric AB don't be affected by the EQ and compression.
Please let us switch the function of the minimized view. By default it always displays the undetailed window on left. It would be nice if we could replace that with the loudness tab that gives more details or any other tabs.
That's hard to tell from UA-cam. If you have technical questions or need to report a bug, please reach out to our tech support: support.plugin-alliance.com/hc/en-us
If this is a plugin and not standalone, can I route one channel (or an aux send or bus) from my DAW into input A, and a different channel into input B? I'm trying to understand its functionality because it wouldn't be useful to me if I couldn't directly modify my original signal on demand.
To see and hear how our plugins work for you and how they compare to existing plugins or hardware, you can try individual plugins for 14 days by activating a trial license from your DAW - or just test our entire catalogue and services for 1 month!

The B stream is not an INPUT, it is used to select the playback channel for the reference tracks. You can load reference tracks as audio files into Metric and compare then to your mix.
Great update! This is the single most useful plug-in ever, lives permanently on my monitoring fx and I use it constantly. Great for pro mixers and also a brilliant learning tool 👏👏👏

Hi, im moving to an M1 Mac, when will the joint PA, Izotope, NI, joint installer be up and running? I use all those 3 developers plug ins and I wanted to know if I could avoid install all 3 installers to only a couple weeks later the joint installer comes out.

one of the most useful plugins ever 🔥
Definately
Yeaa
Metric AB is my MVP. It’s the trainer at my mix-workout. Love this plugin!
This was a long time coming but what an absolutely AWESOME update!! Thank you ADPTR and Plugin Alliance.
Thank you ADPTR!
Probably the best plugin on PA..
Awesome...my favourite plugin of all world Plugins !! thanks for the update !
Cheers and enjoy the new features!
Hopefully ADPTR AUDIO Streamliner will be updated too
It's the good simulation streaming on the plugin market.
yes - streamliner v1.1 is being finalised right now.
Amazing, thanks ADPTR devs!
This is easily one of the best plugins of all time.

Rad update. Is it possible to switch between A and B with a keyboard shortcut if the window is closed or in the background?
What screen is at the 4:01 mark? I've never seen that screen before and he didn't show how to navigate to it.
The best Reference+Metering tool in the business just got even better.

man there are like no videos online how to actually use this plugin like a workflow
The best course I could find was at Groove3, that really helped me.
Fantastic analyzer!!! Can't wait to update and try the new features!!!
Does the B track bypass the mastering chain? If not, how do you make this work?
Seriously, it pisses me off that no one shows how you set it up

Great update! but, still no realtime waveform view for mastering and visual peaks?
I love it, and new features are great. So, may i ask also resize for bx_meter? ☺
where can I download the original wavs for reference tracks?
I downloaded the 1.4 update, but the VST3 version is still on a previous version in my DAW - the VST2 version is properly updated. Any advice?

I have the perpetual license, the actualisations is free?. Place to confirm me.

Yes.
Looks super helpful.
I just dumped my sub a few weeks ago. I due own this plug, though. I assume I can still get the update with my perpetual license? Cheers
