the nice big meter that can be detached from optimaster...can we have it without optimaster loaded?
or are there any other solutions.......within scope, or plugins that give nice and easy to see meters.

sometimes it is really impossible to see if you are 2. 3 meters away from lcd screens, therefore big and shiny meters are necessary!

I find this meter doesn't open in Scope 5.0.

OK, Mr A. How strange. I've just tried it and it opens for me and works OK when used as a mixer insert or dragged into the project area. I'm on the latest v5.0 beta release, whatever that is.

PROBLEM..... it causes glitches and. there must be a PROBLEMATIC GRAPHICS issue.

scopes graphics issues i guess. for instance when i move the stm mixer...many glitches are heard.
there should be a setting to make scope windows disappear during movement... anyway...
i was talking about the big meters glitches.

these are audible whaen i hear through the daw.

once i had read a post here in Z about setting lower scopes priority..... well......... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

yes, it seems influenced by the the wxwidgets GUI library and can even be increased if you run another program that uses the same lib. If I remember correctly I observed this with Engergy XT once.
The wxWidgets library is very common, you may have it (hidden) in some plugin...
Moving animated items into offscreen area stopped the crackling.

Here's s few you might want to check out.
I have zero troubles with Shroomz excellent GIANT BASTARD.
On my gigs I never have the rack near me or use a worthless mouse/QWERTY.
i must control everything from 15-25 feet away. I also have everything snaked,
and the actual rig/stand must look cleaner than a lean dick dog with hidden cabling.
Shroomz' meters allow a Master send and 8 Busses to be viewed.
Usually the FOH gets 4 ( stereo ) and the Monitor man also gets 4 ( stereo ).

the MM master meter is useful to me and does not cause glitches. :)

The Shroomz hightimes meter is excellent, thanks!
I grabbed it from here the other day and have been using it on my master channel when needed.

Bob Katz K system metering is a nice touch, very handy

Not tried those others Jimmy posted yet but it looks a nice selection :)
