Why not use a peak meter tile?

@d-healey Hi David, thank you for the reply. I am completely new to this and don't understand how to connect the Peak Meter to the L&R output etc or how to change the way it looks to be only the values without the meter? Thanks.

That's a good place to start :)

Set the peak meter's processor id (in the Data property) to the id of your simple gain (or any other module you want that has a peak meter).

Set the Channelndexes to [0,1]. So it looks something like this

Then go and learn about local look and feel so you can change the appearance.

Here's a guide, but instead of using Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel() use Content.createLocalLookAndFeel();

@Lindon Hi Lindon, thank you for the reply. If I click on 'Create generic script reference' in the group of the master FX section, I'm not able to paste it into my script. only each individual effect. Also, Where do I put the .getCurrentLevel after the simple gain?

const var SimpleGain1 = Synth.getEffect("Simple Gain1");

Sorry, I am completely new to this and don't know anything about scripting, only from what I've learnt watching videos about hise & reading forums.

Thanks.

@d-healey Hi David, I have done what you said & there is a peak meter showing the left & right output levels for the Simple Gain, but there is no value coming up and I don't know how to take the meter off. I have read through the link you sent and I just can't work out how to do it. I only need a little display saying the db peak levels, like at the bottom of the meter you showed. But with the db for the left peak out as one little rectangle & then the db for the right peak out as another little rectangle, which I can put above the left knob & right knob. Do you have any advice or videos on how to do that? Thanks.

Start by learning paint routines and look and feel - do this in a separate "playground" project where you can just try things out and see how it works.

I have a few videos on my channel about paint routines and look and feel. Just be sure to use local look and feel and not global look and feel - some of my older videos only use the latter because local wasn't available at the time.

@Delamere I had some time so I made this example for you.

@Chazrox Hi, thanks for this example, I appreciate you taking the time to make this. I'm finding it very helpful. Just trying to understand what everything means.

Thanks.

@d-healey Ok thanks David.

'cause I cant seem to make the peak meter work horizontally...

EDIT: oh the forum gods just struck - and now I can....

its a pity we cant set some warning and overs colours... so anything over -6 = orange anything over 0 = red...

@Lindon you can with laf
