Hi Fiore, I've had a chance to take a look at the plug-in and I think it's a useful tool, to be sure. I personally don't find the continuous "sonification" (as you put it) mode to be particularly handy but it's nice to have an option. Speaking of the mode, I found a peculiar aspect to the

Hi Fiore, Having spent a little more time with the meter plug-in, one thing now stands out to me as something that I feel is incorrect about the threshold parameter. Given that we're dealing primarily with full scale metering, most of us think of the meters as being 0 dB FS, thus, with the

Hi Brian, Well, that depends on how you'd use the plug-in. For example, If you're checking out a master fader and want to be aware of approaching a certain threshold, you can take the dry (or input) signal down and pay more attention to the wet (or meter tone) sound. I'm not sure that the
