Topic: Metering controls

To All,

I've got a project where I have several limiters.  I have a main page and I would like to show one pair of GR meters, and have them switch between the GR levels of the other limiters.

Sort of a "You're limiting" indicator.

Whatever I do with the metering seems to show the 'main' meter control as read only.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Greg

Re: Metering controls

I haven't tried this on a real system, but you might give it a try:

Grab a copy of all the meters you want to monitor.
Give them a master wiring node.
Grab a control router(Control->Tools) with as many inputs as you need.
Wire the meters' master nodes to the router inputs.
Create a generic control of type level and copy the source meter's control style to it.
Make sure the generic control has a suitable range to display gain reduction; min of -100, max of 0 should work.
Give the generic control a slave node and wire the control router's output to it.
Make selections on the control router as needed.
