Hi all,

I wish Audition had a nice set of VU meters like that offered by
vb-audio...one with real VU balistics. I would purchase the one from
vb-audio, but I'm not sure I want to open a Direct-X plug-in every
time I want to VU-meter my work.

Why do you want metering that displays the signal +6/-20 dB? - that is
about as good as VU meters are! - they can be useful, but only if you
know how they will mis-display what type of signal.

For instance, if I'm applying a limiter in the editor window, and
previewing it, I want to meter it as well to see the affects on the
VU.

As I read you what you really seem to require is a gain reduction
indication?

I may just need to buy it anyway. Open limiter, apply it, meter it,
un-do limiter, re-do limiter with different settings, meter it, etc...
Very inefficient.

Does anyone know of another solution? Non-hardware....

Listening for whether the sound of the limiting is appropiate or not?
