Those who do their mastering works inside SFP would benefit a lot from simple, but accurate RMS level meter. There are plenty of peak level meters, but they are useless when needing to know how much the audio is squashed or how much is needed to get into commercial level. (if asking my opinion, the commercial RMS level is way too much, but I guess there is no other choice than go with the flow)
Thanks

I agree with u mate.
I must use Wavelab for test the RMS power of my songs!
There's a lot of peak meters for SFP but nothing RMS.
Nobody knows that RMS is very important for a commercial production?
See ya.

I would like to have it in SFP too.
I also would like Samplitude to be able to do it for an entire track - it only does it realtime - and not very nicely IMHO.
RMS meters (with needles) for SFP would be nice.

i've built the rms calculation part for a compressor but it requires around two chips for dsp right now. the math is a little fuzzy also because of how the squareroot is calculated.
does anyone have a real time rms meter to test a beta version against.

I've made a RMS meter plugin myself (VST .dll) that I'd like to see in SFP environment. Or something similar. Tell me if you would like to test that. I've found it accurate by comparing it to soundforge's offline statistics.

Could you not use the RMS metering in Vinco?
