Plugin Boutique has announced a sale on Signum Audio’s smart, integrated and responsive loudness metering and audio limiting toolkit.

BUTE Loudness Suite 2 delivers the tools studios, media and broadcasting producers need to mix and master professional audio within loudness specifications.

Many producers are moving towards mixing and mastering within loudness specs set internally or by major streaming and broadcasting platforms for quality assurance. By providing metering and limiting functions in the same plugin with smart workflow features to maintain creative flow, BUTE helps optimise the quality of mixes and masters, while avoiding potential distortions downstream.
