Utility node
Audio Meter
A stereo level meter with separate left and right bars on a -60 to +3 dBFS scale. Each bar shows the average level (solid) inside the peaks (faint), with a peak-hold line and the loudest peak as a number on top that turns red at 0 dBFS. Audio passes through unchanged, and it measures whatever it is patched to even with its output unconnected, so it works as a tap on any cable.
What it does
Audio Meter is a utility node: it routes signals in and out of Infinite or sets up the canvas. It takes audio in and gives audio out.
Try it
Hang one off the master cable to watch your headroom as you mix.
