Antelope The Judge

Runs natively in your DAW on macOS or Windows.

All your metering tools, unified in one pro-grade interface.

The Judge is Antelope Audio’s advanced metering and analysis plugin – built for engineers, producers, and broadcast professionals who need reliable, real-time feedback across every critical domain. With five integrated modules covering loudness, levels, spectrum, stereo field, and dynamics, The Judge delivers total mix clarity and compliance in a single window.

All-in-One Metering Environment

Combines Peak, RMS, Crest Factor, LUFS, True Peak, Spectrum, Stereo Field, and PSR metering in a single, intuitive interface. Say goodbye to plugin stacking and second-guessing your numbers.

Broadcast-Ready Loudness Monitoring

Compliant with EBU R128 and ITU-R BS.1770 standards. Track Momentary, Short-Term, Integrated Loudness and True Peak in real-time, with history graphs and target indicators for platform-safe delivery.

Dynamic & Frequency Insight

Spot EQ issues and monitor dynamics at a glance with a fast, responsive spectrum analyzer and clear crest factor and PSR (Peak-to-Short-term Loudness Ratio) displays—ideal for mastering, parallel chains, and limiter tuning.

Advanced Stereo Field Visualization

A detailed goniometer and L/R/M/S indicators reveal width, balance, and phase coherence, helping you refine stereo imaging and avoid mono compatibility issues.

Flexible, Lightweight Workflow Integration

Designed for fast decision-making and low CPU impact, The Judge fits seamlessly into any mix or master session—insert pre- or post-compression to track dynamic shifts, compare limiter stages, or monitor entire signal chains.

The Judge is part of the Antelope Cosmos plugin collection.
