Guessing at loudness is basically running a mastering session on hard mode, and Remi Blaze just handed macOS producers a free cheat sheet. Gaugex arrives as AU, VST3, and Standalone, native on Apple Silicon, built by a house and tech-house DJ sitting on 170+ originals across 35+ labels.
Metering follows the ITU-R BS.1770-4 standard, and a single window covers integrated, momentary, and short-term LUFS, loudness range, and true-peak. A producer picks Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Club, Broadcast, or a custom number, then reads the gain-to-target alongside a pass or fail. Match nails it in one click.
Deeper stuff hides in there. True-peak gets 4x oversampling with an inter-sample warning, while crest, phase correlation, mono compatibility, low-end phase with a sub-cancellation alert, an FFT spectrum, and 60 seconds of loudness history fill out the rest.
Anyone wanting less clutter gets Gaugex Raw, which belongs to the Raw Series of one-move plugins and shows only integrated LUFS against the target, light enough to park on every channel. Both ship free as a Universal Binary for Apple Silicon and Intel, code-signed and notarized by Apple, with 15 presets.
