Analog VU Meters Options

[onv]

What's more, I made myself a skin that can't be set properly, because it has two channels at ones. If I mark Left+Right it doubles like that.
Also tried splitting this image in two and put two instances og VU Meter side by side showing different channels. One for Left and second for Right. Unfortunately, both of them displayed the same one. When I change the setting in one, second VU Meter albo changed. I wish they were independent.

Any chances to have a solution for any of these issues/offers?

Rename left bin to bla-bla1.bin and right to bla-bla2.bin and put your both *.bin with the file foo_vis_vumeter.dll

Thanks a lot, that did the trick.

What about replay gain? Is it possible to implement getting value for preamp from music files?

It's a question for the developer to plugin, I can't help

AFAIK foobar2000 sends audio data to vis plugins after RG correction and DSP plugins.

Mine quickly shoots up and just stays on +3 most the time.

I don't get clipping so shouldn't it peak at 0 ?

What settings to people use for preamp and the mouse wheel dB ?

WSH panel using Analog Vu Meter last version as an ActiveX object

work in progress, for now, VU meter for one or 2 channel works, i have to add peak meter and better design

Remained an easy task - to teach WSH understand *.cdr files to scale without losing quality

Cool. Maybe full scale LED is excessive for the analog VU-meter, it is enough bandwidth (or single LED) for levels >=0dB in order not to disperse the attention between the arrow and LEDs

other peak style:

It's better in the sense that the eyes do not jump in different directions. Does it make sense to duplicate the angle of deflection with the color bar?
Looks nice, but informative tends to zero
As the original version has the right to life, clearly

i'll prepare a package (script + images) asap

[Falstaff]

script + images available in WSH Panel Mod discussion thread : http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=796858

[San_dr]

scripting, no images VU-meter and implements pikmetr rms VU meter in the same scale. Peak Meter on discrete LEDs of two colors, rms VU meter - a translucent solid fill, the color of which depends on the signal level

Why DUI only ?
Think, perhaps, there is a sense in the mid-hight between the channels to draw a text scale (-20 -15 ....) ?

information about the excess of 0 dB LED provides color and changing the dynamics of the mean color of the solid line. Sam engine plugin provides optimal curve luminous scales. I think the numbering of the scale away from 0 dB is unnecessary... decor

DUI...? it's my favorit

[Bob Brines]

The VU meters have stopped working. They display fine, but no needle movement. The meters were working, now they don't. the only change I made was upgrading to FB1.1.13, but have the same results with 1.1.10. Same result in DUI and CUI. I uninstalled the component andTreinstalled it with a fresh download. No help. The only DSP I am running is the SoX resampler set to 96K, but removing this made no difference.

Any hints?

I had the same problem. It appeared to happen after the computer went to sleep while fb2k was still open, although I'm not sure. In any case, I went to the <foobar2000>\Configuration folder and deleted the foo_vis_vumeter.dll.cfg file. Voila, the file was rebuilt when I started fb2k back up and the meters were working again.

Hi all,

I'm trying to get hold of these 2 VU Meter skins from here:




The download site that hosts them has been down for quite a while.

Anyone happen to have them?
Would be nice to get hold of them.

Cheers,

C.

I downloaded your .bin files into the foo_vis_vumeter folder, but only Model 702 (2).bin is displayed. I scrolled back through this thread to find some instructions as to how to change the skin, but those instructions don't work for me. I tried any number of click and key combinations, but no joy. Note that I am using a laptop with a touch pad.

Also, Foobar displays the version number as 2012-05-12. Is this the current version?

Thanks,

Sorry, that's touch PAD, not touch SCREEN. When I right click on the meters, I get the "Layout"pull-down menu. When I right click on any of the options, nothing happens. When I left click, the menu goes away. This could be a problem with my computer. I will have to load up and try it on a desktop.
