VU meters

Grimm · 11-July-03, 10:42 AM

I am here to state without doubt that I hate digital VU meters. I have virtual VU meters even more. With that said, does anyone know of a way that I can construct an analogue VU meter bridge that can be connected to my soundcard (audigy platinum)?

Any ideas would be helpful.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but Take a look at this hot lil number http://svc.com/comamusi.html

Not quite what I had in mind. What I am looking for is two separate VU meters (Left and Right Channel) that can be connected either in line with the PC speakers or by some other means (USB perhaps).

Ideally, the unit should be external from the PC so it can be placed under a monitor perhaps.

buy the VU meters that Mcintosh sells. they are so

but cost alot.

Carbon, what are you talking about?

Are they just meters or are they a meter bridge with circuitry and all? Also, who is Mcintosh? Do you mean a Mac?

A very surreal and cryptic reply........

TRANSLATION: Buy the McIntosh VU meters (Blue) they are PIMPING however they are expensive.
