Once corrected, bypass the plugin. Does the volume jump scare you? Yes—because off is quiet and on is "loudness matched." Render your file with LM Correct active.

While NuGen offers a suite of tools—including the comprehensive VisLM (Visual Loudness Meter) and the corrective ISL (True Peak Limiter)—LM Correct sits in a unique sweet spot. It is the "fix-it" tool. It combines analysis with a look-ahead gain adjustment algorithm, allowing engineers to hit the target loudness number without manually riding the faders for hours.

Simply turning up the volume to meet a loudness target can introduce digital clipping. Peaks that were previously safe might suddenly breach 0 dBTP (Decibels True Peak). NuGen has integrated its renowned limiting technology into LM Correct.
One of the unique aspects of LM Correct is the integrated . When you use standard gain to hit -14 LUFS, you often clip your True Peak (inter-sample peaks). LM Correct allows you to set a True Peak ceiling (usually -1 dBTP for streaming) while adjusting loudness. This ensures that when the streamer converts your file to lossy (AAC/MP3), you don't get ugly digital distortion.
When the plugin applies the necessary gain to reach the target loudness, a built-in True Peak Limiter protects the signal. This ensures
