Pro L2 - Metering in bypass (zero latency)
It would be very useful if the Pro L2 meters could still be used while the plugin bypass is enabled. I often use the meters (e.g. LUFS, K-system) but find the latency annoying when recording or playing synths etc.

Hi Oliver,
At the moment Pro-L 2 will always introduce some latency. The transparent algorithm introduces the least amount of latency (about 476 samples) which amounts to +/- 11 ms. I think this will be on the edge of annoying while playing a synth.
We might do a dedicated metering plug-in in the future. However, we have many projects work working on and at the moment its not very high on our priority list.
