Yes, this would be most helpful, in addition to a numeric peak hold readout.
We'll consider this. Can you give an example where it is essential to see the output level precisely?
Cheers,
It's not absolutely necessary, but it would be very very nice to have. If my 78' Pinto can drive, then it's not necessary to have a Mercedes, but it would be much much nicer to drive. Same thing here. I can't see the output level of the EQ at a glance at all. I don't even know what the output is unless it's clipping. If I use the EQ for some extreme sound shaping it will probably clip the level, and I'd like to know how hot the signal is coming out of the EQ so I can adjust the output level accordingly. I want to see if the level is at -3 or -6, etc..., not just a little red dot when I'm in trouble. At least, that's what makes sense to me. In the end, it's about intuitiveness and usability, which your plug-ins shine at. If I'm adjusting the level of the output, I have to guess at it a couple of times until I get it low enough. I shouldn't have to do this, IMO. Check the level, adjust, move on.
have you tried checking the level in your DAW?...
OK, we'll consider it for a future update!
Cheers,
