ADPTR Audio Metric AB 1.1.0 for Mac is a referencing and analysis plug-in from ADPTR Audio, distributed through Plugin Alliance, that sits on your DAW's master channel. It lets you compare your mix against commercial reference tracks with a single A/B click, so you can judge balance, loudness and stereo width against records you trust instead of guessing.

It suits producers, mix engineers and mastering engineers who reference as part of their workflow. You can load up to 16 reference files in formats such as WAV, MP3, AIFF and FLAC, match their volume instantly and sync playback with your session. Metric AB is paid software, and Plugin Alliance offers a free demo through its installer, so you can test it in your own DAW before buying a licence.

Key Features

  • Instant A/B switching between your mix and up to 16 loaded reference tracks
  • Automatic volume matching so comparisons are not fooled by loudness differences
  • Analysis views for spectrum, correlation, stereo image and dynamics
  • Industry-standard LUFS loudness and dynamics metering
  • Cue and loop functions with DAW-synced reference playback; AU, VST and AAX formats

How to Download

  1. Download from the official site
  2. Create a Plugin Alliance account, then download the Installation Manager for Mac from Plugin Alliance.
  3. Install Metric AB through the manager, start the demo or activate your licence, and insert it on your master channel.

Is Metric AB free?
No. Metric AB is a paid plug-in. Plugin Alliance provides a free demo period through its Installation Manager, but continued use requires a purchased licence.

Which DAWs does it work with?
It runs as an Audio Unit, VST/VST3 and AAX plug-in, so it works in Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, Pro Tools and other major Mac DAWs.
