Big Man Labs Big Listen v1.1.1 [WiN]

BIG LISTEN | A/B Reference Plugin for Mixing and Mastering. Big Listen A/B reference plugin running at the end of a master chain, with reference slots, waveform and metering. Mix and master with context. Load up to six reference tracks, match their loudness to your own, and switch between the two on one button with LUFS, true peak and spectrum metering live on both. Your whole reference library is searchable inside the plugin, so you stop guessing whether your low end, your top, your width and your weight are really where they should be. Reference monitoring and metering features Everything Big Listen does when it is sitting at the end of your master chain. Reference Browser NEW Point Big Listen at the folders where your music lives and your whole library is one click away. Search by name or genre tag, star the records you keep coming back to, and drag straight onto a slot. Tag files with 28 built in genres or your own, and it all follows you into every session. The index handles up to 30,000 files. Six Reference Slots Drag and drop up to six tracks. Each slot keeps its own loop markers, trim, match state and nickname, and all of it saves with the project. Streamed from disk, so a full album does not land in RAM. WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3 and OGG everywhere, plus M4A on Windows and macOS. One Button A/B MIX passes your mix through untouched. REF replaces the output with the selected reference. Both sets of meters read from the same taps at the same time, so the numbers never jump when you flip. A 10 ms crossfade keeps the switch click free, and you can put it on a key. MATCH loudness matching Press it while your mix plays. Three seconds of measured short term LUFS and the reference is trimmed to sit at your loudness, so the louder record never wins the comparison by default. It trims the reference, never your mix, and it refines an existing trim rather than wiping it. Loop Markers, CUE, LATCH and SYNC Park on a chorus and cycle it. Drag the S and E tabs to set a region, needle drop anywhere in the waveform. CUE restarts the reference on every flip, LATCH keeps it running, and SYNC locks it to the host timeline so their chorus lands where yours does. Full Loudness Suite LUFS momentary, short term and integrated to BS.1770. True peak at 4x oversampling with hold. LRA, crest factor, PLR and PSR. Mix and reference side by side, always live. Stop the transport and every number holds so you can actually read the pass you just played. Analyzer and Stereo Field Real time spectrum with a dual overlay, so the reference curve keeps tracking while you audition your mix. Adjustable range, speed and detail, plus mouse zoom and pan. Goniometer and correlation meter underneath. Monitor Tools and Filters MONO, SIDE, DIFF and SWAP, all host automatable. A high pass and a low pass on the monitor path, applied to both programs, with the analyzer shading the region you are not hearing. Poser and Pro Modes Pro is not just a visual crop. With the analyzer and goniometer hidden, Big Listen stops doing that analysis altogether, so Pro costs meaningfully less CPU. All the metering stays fully live. Five Themes Classic, Hi-Vis, Mint, Airtime and Ghost. Each sets the mix and reference identity colors used everywhere in the window. Status colors stay fixed, so red always means trouble. Remembered globally. Runs in every major DAW VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP. Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Pro Tools, Reaper, Bitwig, Studio One, Ardour. Zero Latency No delay compensation required, 64-bit internal processing, 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz. It is a monitoring insert, so bypass or remove it before you bounce. Big Man Labs Big Listen v1.1.1 MOCHA
