APU Software APU Loudness Compressor is a Windows dynamics effect for producers who want to shape audio levels with measurements that reflect perceived loudness. It supports LUFS and True Peak rather than relying solely on the RMS or peak readings commonly used by conventional compressors. Its loudness-based processing is designed to deliver transparent level control while accounting for how listeners hear changes in volume.

Instead of centering the workflow on threshold and ratio settings, the plugin lets you define source and target loudness ranges. It then compresses or expands the signal as needed to move between those ranges. This offers an alternative way to approach dynamics, particularly if you prefer working toward a loudness range rather than setting a traditional compression ratio.

Learn mode can automatically set either the source or target range from the incoming material, giving you an initial configuration to refine by ear. APU Loudness Compressor suits hobby producers and mixing enthusiasts looking to explore LUFS-based compression and expansion in a Windows production setup.
