Loudness Penalty Studio 1.5
VICTORIA, BC: January 2026 - MeterPlugs, developers of audio metering and analysis tools, today announced the release of Loudness Penalty Studio 1.5, an update to its standalone application for visualizing and previewing the effects of loudness normalization used by popular streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
Version 1.5 introduces a new Loudness Penalty report, allowing users to generate a clear summary of loudness measurements and predicted streaming penalties. The update also adds new matching modes, Loudness Range (LRA) to the table view, and a short-term loudness graph in the block view, providing additional context when evaluating loudness over time.
Performance improvements in Loudness Penalty Studio 1.5 reduce loading and processing times, particularly when working with longer files, albums, or playlists.
“Loudness Penalty Studio 1.5 focuses on making loudness analysis easier to interpret and faster to work with,” says Ian Kerr of MeterPlugs. “The new reporting and visualization tools are designed to help users better understand how their audio will be treated by streaming platforms, without adding unnecessary complexity.”
Loudness Penalty Studio builds on the LoudnessPenalty.com website and the Loudness Penalty plugin, offering the ability to loudness-match albums and playlists, preview streaming normalization, and compare material against reference tracks with loudness matching enabled.

Loudness Penalty Studio 1.5 is available now for macOS and Windows from the MeterPlugs website. To mark the release, MeterPlugs is offering a 30% discount, applied automatically at checkout for a limited time. A 60-day money-back guarantee is included.
