Trim up, check the meter, trim again. Volume Dealer removes the iteration. It measures your integrated LUFS as you listen, and when you click Set Level it applies the exact corrective gain in one step. No arithmetic, no back-and-forth.
What you see while it measures matters too. Integrated, momentary, and short-term LUFS update in real time alongside gain applied, gain reduction, output peak, and latency - every data point you need to make a confident decision before you commit. The true-peak lookahead limiter holds the brickwall ceiling throughout, with optional 2x oversampling to catch inter-sample peaks that slip through at native sample rate.

Core Workflow
Load Volume Dealer last on your master bus and play your track from the beginning. Integrated LUFS accumulates in real time. Once it stabilizes, set your Target LUFS - -14 for streaming, -16 for podcast, wherever the delivery spec lives - and click Set Level. The plugin calculates the difference and applies the exact pre-limiter gain correction in one step. The Gain Applied readout confirms the offset. The limiter holds the ceiling from there.
High Quality Mode
At native sample rate, inter-sample peaks can exceed 0 dBFS on playback systems that reconstruct above the digital ceiling - creating clipping that the limiter never saw. High Quality mode runs the limiter at 2x the session sample rate using an IIR half-band polyphase filter. Every inter-sample peak is visible, caught, and held. The output is re-clamped after decimation to restore the brickwall guarantee.
LUFS Metering
Volume Dealer runs a full BS.1770 LUFS metering suite alongside the limiter. Integrated LUFS accumulates from the start of playback and feeds Set Level. Momentary LUFS gives you a short sliding-window read of loudness density. Short-term LUFS averages across three seconds for a calmer view of overall level. BS.1770-3 and BS.1770-4 are both available - the gating stage in BS.1770-4 excludes near-silence passages from the integrated average, which matters on tracks with dynamic intros or outros.
Controls and Metering
Dual analog-style VU meters with standard 300ms ballistics give you a visual read of post-limiter output level at all times. Edge Rounding controls the softness of the limiter knee - at zero it is a hard brick wall; dialing it up starts the gain reduction 6 dB below the ceiling for a less aggressive character on dense material. Dithering handles the bit-depth conversion at export so you do not have to think about it.
