Easily Configure Meters For Dante Channels
The Massive Meter Bridge's Audio Device Settings allow setting up multiple meters to meter any available Dante channel. This provides the ability to set up different types including overlapping channels to provide precise control of your meters.
New Features
The Massive Meter Bridge and Massive Meter have several new features to improve workflows and expand capabilities.
Pop Up Warning For Peak and Clip
The Massive Meter Bridge has a pop-up warning that displays the name of a meter that is over a peak threshold or if it clips. This allows for quickly identifying which meters are peaking or clipping when there are many meters displayed in the Massive Meter Bridge.
Set the peak threshold to the value you are most interested in being notified when the threshold is passed. The peak and clip pop-up follow the peak and clip hold times.
Maximum Meter Bar Width
The Massive Meter Bridge supports setting a maximum meter bar width such as 200 pixels wide. This provides a more consistent meter layout when changing the number of meters displayed and the size of the Massive Meter Bridge window.
Meter Spacing Control
You can now control the spacing between meters by selecting narrow, standard, and wide. This new preference allows for better visualization and distinction between meters and maximizing the available screen size.
Additional Colour Options For Meters
Additional colours have been added to provide more flexibility for colour coding meters.
Quickly Rename and Change Colours In the Massive Meter Plugin
The Massive Meter and Massive Meter Pro plugin now can quickly change the meter name and meter colour by clicking on the meter name. This reveals buttons for changing the meter name and meter colour.
