Dorrough Surround

Mixing in surround sound opens up exciting creative possibilities, but it also makes level management far more demanding. Dorrough Surround is a metering plugin that brings the accuracy of classic Dorrough hardware meters into your DAW, letting you monitor both average and peak levels on a single, responsive display. It includes 5.0 and 5.1 surround meters alongside the full set of Dorrough stereo meters, with DTS, ITU/SMPTE, and Film/Dolby Digital modes for standards-compliant film and television work. Instant peak response, averaging of overall levels, and an Overs LED that latches when samples exceed 0 dBFS help you catch distortion before it reaches the listener. Adjustable meter sizes, peak hold options, and controls for order, sum and difference, phase correlation, and channel collapse make it easy to verify that every surround channel is behaving as intended. Ideal for post-production engineers and producers delivering multichannel mixes who need trustworthy visual feedback.
