Like most of the reviewers have said, this plug-in is one of the most needed, and now, most used. I was reluctant to use references because of the hassle of getting levels right and getting a fast and true AB comparison. This beast makes it easy and fun. And most of all, makes my mixes much better. Most of us don't take breaks and re-calibrate like we should. This plug-in tells you immediately where your ears have dulled out. Love it!

Reference tracks can be a necessary pain in the ass, at least for me. This plug-in made it so simple. Must have! ADTPR and PA really thought this through completely.
MetricAB ROCKS!!!

This has got to be the Rolls Royce of A/B testing plugins, worth every cent even at full price. It will save you time, but more importantly allow you to level match your reference songs (and lots of them) so you can get a very good snapshot of many references... I LOVE it!

If you wonder how this compares to isotope, this one doesn't have all the smarts of the frequency analysis BUT I do prefer it. One really simple and killer feature is the fact that you can set your reference tracks in loop mode and compare frequency ranges with basically one click. With this feature, I was able to really easily nail the master and especially the eq of the low frequencies. Another thing I really like about it is that it has been designed for both mastering and also mixing on the master bus. The frequency visualisation is also simple and IMO better than what I have seen in other plugins. Anyway - you can't go wrong with this one...
Fast, elegant and comprehensive

Generally, I have been working with a setup within Logic that contains a Mix and Bypass bus for tasks such as easy referencing. I also have a few different meters placed on it so I can measure, observe and compare differences from time to time. I must say, though, having these tools built into a single plugin that will straight up show you the differences between your mix and a reference can be a really bloody handy. MetricAB is comprehensive and makes referencing both easy and informative. No complicated templates required. It’s not that we should be trying to imitate any specific mix sound, it just provides us with a fast and elegant method where we might be going wrong in a mix. Now that’s worth the price of admission.

I have been using this plugin for a week and it has helped improve my mixes and see where I have issues in the stereo field, dynamics, and frequency spectrum. The analyzers are first class and the plugin is very CPU friendly. Love how easy this plugin is on the eyes and its now permanently on my master channel. This plugin is easy to use and just works as intended.

Metric AB is one of those one stop "need to have "plugins that i would recommend for Engineers and Muso's from novice to pro level . One of the most important parts of our job in writing compositions for TV , Film and games is to check how your mix stands up to other mixes in the same field. Also when working in different studios or mixing on headphones in foreign environments , this plugin becomes invaluable to check your bass levels , make sure your'e not too bright and your mix has enough dynamics and loudness is all in check . Metric AB is well thought out and comes packed with a ton of really helpfull features , my favourite being able to overlay frequencies of your mastered mix over any other mix your'e trying to reference .
