I normally don't run the spectrum analyzer unless it's a boring day and I want to entertain the clients:-).In my opinion Spectrum Analyzers are WAY overrated, and although not useless, not all that useful. I can tell just about everythinging I need to know by looking at a VU meter and using my ears (not necessarily in that order) playing a mix with a known peak level. One thing I've never found is a software VU meter that acts anything like the real thing. I've looked at what many that engineers have recommended and never found one.

With a real VU meter you can actually observe the different instruments and frequency ranges causing changes in the RMS level. Any suggestions on a good software meter bridge that reads like real VU meters? I still haven't found a decent software metering system. The most offensive problem with software metering IMHO is the jerkiness.

But then, you know my solution to that problem was to build my own portable VU meter box.Jerkiness is a problem but I've seen meters that don't have a lot of that. More of a problem is how the meters I've seen tend to read the peaks but not the valleys. (sluggish fall time). To get it to act like a VU meter you would need to specify the action of the spring loaded needle which I think would be a variable rise & release time.

So I have my own little meter box. Take Care Bob. Let us know how they compare to RME digicheck I know it's not really the same. But I am really getting a lot of info from the 4 bar meter in digicheck Will do. Yes, DIGICheck is great.

I use the 4 bar all the time too. Oversampled peak, Leq(b) filtered RMS aes17, and slow RMS marker. Checking the phase/width on the 'vector scope' every now and then and together with my mono switch that is all I ever really need. I do flip L/R sometimes if I need a fresh perspective. Don't really need any other metering, but sometimes it is nice to have a plug in your host, to tap into a specific point in the signal path. I never use the RME analyser, I do use the free Voxengo SPAN incidentally. Yes, DIGICheck is great.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll check it out BobI had trouble loading the demo into WaveLab as the site seemed to insist on putting it in my Pro Tools plugin files. I did see it in the stand alone version and I know it's not for me. A VU Meter, due to the (semi?) logarithmic sles gives you precise readings around '0 dB' - The way this is used (by me) is to have a precision attenuator to watch low-level passages meter movement precisely if there is a need for that. The idea of a scale having equal space between dB marks sort of defeats the purpose for me. So before I even see the meter reaction to music, I know this is not the meter for me. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. As for WAVES, I've tried their PAZ among other things.

I think they're pretty worthless for just about everything. And they charge way too much also. I wouldn't expect them to come up with a usable VU meter. In fact, of the dozens of WAVES plugs I've tried, the Linear Phase EQ, Renaissance compressor and reverb are the only ones that get my seal of approval.
