Learn how to use metering in your DAW for mixing and mastering at three different experience levels using iZotope Insight and iZotope Tonal Balance Control. In the first level, learn what metering is and how it can tell you how loud your track is before you distribute it. In level two, learn how to use metering to determine how tonally balanced your mix is across the frequency spectrum. In level three, use metering to visualize and fix frequency masking using a spectrogram.
