The utility monitors dynamic changes over time without altering the incoming signal in any way, making it an essential monitoring addition for your 2026 signal chain. Producers can grab the installer directly from the Tonecraft Tokyo website at zero cost.
Visual Dynamics and Loudness Tracking

Key features of SCOPE2 include:
- Real-time history graph tracking level changes over time
- Integrated, momentary, and short-term LUFS loudness measurement
- True peak detection for preventing inter-sample clipping on streaming exports
- 100% passive signal path with zero latency and zero phase coloring
- Resizable user interface with high-contrast visual indicators
System Compatibility and Workflow
SCOPE2 functions strictly as a diagnostic tool, ensuring complete transparency across your master bus or submixes. It accommodates current broadcast and streaming delivery targets, helping producers prepare masters according to platform specifications without relying on expensive commercial meters.
You can download SCOPE2 directly from Tonecraft Tokyo as a free download without complex authorization routines or mandatory subscriptions.
