NUGEN Audio has launched VisLM 3, the newest generation of its award-winning loudness metering solution, ahead of AES Show 2026. Building on the trusted foundation that made VisLM the global industry‑standard loudness reference tool, the new version introduces a significantly expanded feature set designed for today’s increasingly complex production and compliance workflows.

Designed for professionals across broadcast, post-production, podcasting, music, and immersive audio, VisLM 3 combines accurate loudness measurement with enhanced analysis and workflow tools. New stem monitoring enables loudness readings, history traces, and distributions from multiple stems within a single instance, while timestamped notes allow engineers to add comments directly within their sessions. A redesigned interface further improves clarity, flexibility, and ease of use.

Keeping pace with evolving loudness standards, VisLM 3 introduces LDR (Loudness to Dialog Ratio) measurement, updated compliance presets, and Loudness QC Report export for streamlined documentation. Expanded support for up to 9.1.6 immersive audio workflows makes it a powerful solution for next-generation production environments.

“VisLM 3 reinforces our core message: paying attention to changes in loudness standards, so users don’t have to,” says Freddy Vinehill‑Cliffe, Product Specialist at NUGEN Audio. “The software is built for professionals who need more than a simple loudness meter. It’s a comprehensive loudness environment that gives users a holistic understanding of loudness and helps them to manage increasingly complex mixes and adapt as the industry evolves.”
