Hi,

as simple as that:
i want to make some A/B signal comparison tests. probably for videos.
edit: It`s about level matching for A/B (/C) purposes.

I need a volume/level meter. I have no clue how precise it should be. Probably a meter that has sort of a precision metering in mind.


Ideally something where we can sort of define a zoomed in view vs. a specific volume. So it would give a good and precise visual feedback -> around a certain (predefined) threshold level -> on the quick, while jaming along. No clue what`s out there.
( I`m on Mac )

it`s about live jam playing, and A/B signal recording at the same time.
So i just want to see in realtime the Volume of signal A/B (/C).....-> with precision !
I can load two or three instances. One instance per signal. No problem

i run no DAW for that. It has to be a plugin (AU / VST3). I run it in a node based live play host.

I don't use it exactly for that, but I like process audio Decibel for my metering needs. Very readable, nice graphics, can be assigned to any screen on the same network.

Thank you for the tip. This looks like a nice plugin, but made with a completly different usecase in mind. It does not look like it would add much to "my" Table. $75 is too steep for that.

So far the TDR limiter 6 GE is my best bet.
I might just ask the TDR guy if he`s not willing to vibecode something simple over the weekend, haha. / ;)
