I won't list all of the "new" features as you can all read the official list. Once again there is some 3rd party addon that going on past history will be lucky to last 2 full upgrades so these plugins are just distractions to make us think that it is a full upgrade.
The loudness meter - yes is good but for a small amount of money you can buy VST loudness meters that you can use in all VST hosts. Google ""vst loudness meter"" with quotes and you will find over 500 results many for free. There are actually more but they are usually included in master plugins. Some of the more expensive versions like WLM Plus Loudness Meter have more information available for the user.
It seems to me that V13 should not be a major upgrade but an update. It is time to try the Adobe video experience as I already have an Adobe subscription. I realize that both platforms have bugs and I'm not interested in starting a flame war over which is better. However, I look with envy at the After Effects 3rd party plugins and find very few have none or part support only for Vegas. I will try my next project in Adobe while sticking with V12 as I climb the learning curve for Adobe.
