RTM Audio Stage 2.0.8 takes the guesswork out of gain staging. Play the loudest part of a track once, Stage measures it, and then it suggests a trim that puts the level where you want it for the next plugin in the chain. You can measure by peak, RMS, VU or integrated loudness, with target presets for vocals, drums, bass or a master bus. Its second tool, EVEN, loudness matches the sound before and after a plugin chain, so you compare tone rather than volume, even in a blind test. Updated Aug 22, 2026.

FAQs

Why measure levels instead of using my ears?

Ears judge tone well but drift on level. A measured trim gives every plugin the input it was designed for.

What does EVEN actually prove?

It matches loudness before and after a chain, so a remaining tone difference came from the chain itself.

Does Stage alter audio while measuring?

No. Measuring only reads the signal, and your audio passes through unchanged until you apply a trim.
