MLoudnessAnalyzer, why are there 2 bars for the crest factor?

[KateWalker]

Hi, I hope the question is not dumb because I neither read about it in the manual nor here in the forum. It looks like it's something so obvious that I just overlook it, haha. Anyway, could anyone please explain to me why there are 2 bars under "crest"? What's the difference between them? In my mixes, they are often totally different from each other and I don't know which one is the "right" one to rely on. Thanks in advance

Looks like Left and Right channels to me.

I thought that too. But when then I tried and put a mono-maker before the LoudnessAnalyzer and nothing changed. So if it was left/right it should show the exactly same values when mono'ed.

might be broken since my second bar does nothing. Stays at -100 w11, reaper 6.70, melda 16.01

do you mean it does not work at all or just when you add a mono maker before the plugin?

It works now. For some reason, with my setup, melda plugins will get weird if I have reaper running for awhile. I use a few project tabs and run pink noise 24/7. Either it's that or just my computer is possessed. For example, one time I tried to use a HPF in MADEQ and it did nothing. I think I had to reload a preset to 'wake it up'. Who knows. I can't say it's only melda since melda is what I'm almost always using. In my uneducated opinion, I'd say it's a reaper issue.
