soens, I really like your proposal. The only comment is that substituting Mains (shorter) for Hardware Outputs might be confusing but I like it.

Along with this I would like to see better use of the space above the Audio interface outs.
Like perhaps a phase or correlation meter's, longer mains or other metering choice, K weighting, true dBFS etc.

Wookiee, I like that idea too. I'm always looking for metering plugin options mainly for the Master Output, but I've started using a dead end bus to provide easy setup of metering options for the schOPE and other metering. Having metering on the hardware outputs would be nice, and placing the metering in that blank space on the hardware outputs would be handy, though maybe a little awkward since the outputs are set up in the hardware interface control panel. I leave my Monitor Station metering set to +18 dBu because my audio interfaces have outputs that exceed the next lower option of +10 dBu.
 
Along those same lines, it would be nice if offsets could be entered to display dBu and dB spl. The offsets would be somewhat arbitrary, but I try to use my Monitor Station metering and Radio Shack spl meter to keep all this in perspective, but being able to setup metering with the correct scales and with scale factors based on actual measurements would be helpful, I think.

I just noticed my "Consolidated Meter Options" post has been removed from the forums. I found a link to it from another thread but it goes to a 404 Not Found page. Anyone know why? Should I repost it?
 
It had a lot of positive feedback from users who liked the idea so just wondering.
 
 

Thanks Kev. I agree, notification should be protocol. Craig is looking into this though I can see why Cake would do so. They are very similar ideas even though his seems to cover all menus while mine is Meters specific.
 
Post title is different which may confuse people. Along with that, it throws the voting numbers off.
 
At least it wasn't deleted as I 1st thought.

Same here, but Cake must read these posts as this is now the official feature request venue. The old request submit page is gone.

No use now, since no one will ever know this thread is about meters.

Thread title changed.

Additionally I would like to be able to change meters RMS / Peak mode on the fly with a swipe or simple one click toggle on the channel strip.....(if it doesn't take up too much space)

Monthly BUMP.

Good Day,
 
It would be nice if when selecting "options" in track and console views, particularly meter options in this case, that the menu doesn't totally close menu after selecting one certain option, perhaps reverting to menu item above and/or having a OK/close/save selection once done choosing various selected options, i.e., meter range, peak RMS, hold, lock, etc., and/or possibly a global setting for each meter type in preferences? Also a choice that meter type option choices could or not be synched between track and consoles views?
 
Kind Regards

My notation was about the post immediately above it which covers the same ground as he OP. The handbook provides recommendations for handling duplicate requests http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3096121.
 

If/and/when a feature becomes reality it would be cool for the OP to post it here in case someone misses the update.
