Dudes this has been persistent in the last few builds, sorry I'm getting to it now :



1. Draw points
2. make a couple of RE adjustments
3. Undo, does not retain any of the intermediate undo points and skips directly to 2 steps before the creation of the initial RE.

This is on a ReaControlMIDI lane - seems to work fine on Track Volume lane.

Yesss, nice improvements, feels more balanced!

– better similarity between non/hi-dpi
– love the histogram drawing
– better solution without the Settings UTF icon(!)

ONLY thing I'd like to suggest, is to have the Auto-Mono indication in orange color (e.g. ff7f00) –for better coherence to the master in Default theme.

example:

Sorry for coming again with graphical details, but when measuring true peak the clips of both sample and true peak show under the "True" label.. while it can be understood it doesn't look very clear.



I think it would be better if instead of aligning the values to the right they were centered so that the "/" show one under the other and the numbers are written under the corresponding label.

Default Loudness Meter Peak/RMS/LUFS (Cockos)

Loudness Meter Peak/RMS/LUFS (Cockos)

With 'auto detect mono input' enabled the LUFS-I value is 3db higher,
then what other LUFS plugins show when media is a MONO WAV,
if stereo media then the value matches. Huh?

Is the automono indicator on (the boxed on the lower right of the plugin)? If not, that means there is some stereo characteristic to the signal and the calculation is done in stereo.

BTW just noticed the histogram drawing cuts off a few dB below the top, that will be fixed for the next build. You'd only notice if you had very loud media.

Do you mean 3dB *lower*? Because that's what I see in your project and that's as expected. With your sample media, the REAPER meter shows lufs-i of -23.4 with autodetect mono enabled, which is the correct mono calculation. Other plugin meters show -20.4 or so because they are doing a stereo loudness calculation.

Ya lower, OK, maybe I just keep it off so it works like what I'm used to. THANKS!

If you render a stereo file with 2 identical channels (so it sounds like mono) then your normal lufs meter is right. But if you render a true mono file with 1 channel then Reaper’s mono mode tells you the correct loudness. You can try to disable one pin of your meter plugin on sounds with identical information on L/R and it should give you the same number as Reaper’s mono calculation.

At least that is how it makes sense to me, not at the computer to back this statement up so please correct me if I am saying some BS.

Is there any specific reason for this change?
I prefered the option to have a regular peak meter while working and TP stats only on rendering.

And btw, thanks so much for the new loudness metering, the overall integration is absolutely fantastic!

Tbh I also preferred being able to set TP metering in the project and TP analysis during render indipendently.

Hey Devs,
have a few more niggles

When the loudness meter is brought to a certain size, the meter bars start a tap dance:




If the size of the loudness meter is changed so that only numbers are visible, LUFS-M and LUFS-S no longer display correct current values:





And another thing, thanks for the option to adjust the font size! Very helpful However on low res screens it still comes to display problems. Numbers or names are obscured and have to be reduced in size so much that they are no longer readable. Especially on tracks in MCP. Would it be possible to still make some adjustments here?




For example, if the resolution does not allow a clean representation of names, the names could be shortened further. We still have the colors of the meter bars that tell us if it is RMS or LUFS.

So maybe something like:

TPeak= TP
R-M= M
R-I= I
L-M= M
L-S= S
LRA= LR, or maybe just R
L-I= I

The numbers could be rounded up or down if a clean representation is not possible. It would be more important to me to get a number i can read even if it's less precise - e.g. neutered by the decimal place - than a number that I can't even read because it's too tiny or obscured by other objects.


Nevertheless, thanks for these great tools!

I love the new histogram display! Very helpful and intuitive to read. It'd be *amazing* if we could have histogram and LRA options in the Master meter, too!

I just wanna say it's really awesome watching these meters come together. It's already like night and day from last week.
