VU meter not working?

[d.healey]

@Jay it only works on channels 0 and 1

[Jay]

@d-healey yes my fx are in channel 0 and 1 (1 and 2)

[Lindon]

OK now I cant get the VU meters to work on stand alone compiles...

They work fine in HISE but do nothing in the deployed app.

yes I have ENABLE_ALL_PEAKS_METERS=1

[Lindon]

Compiled a VST too - also not working.

Any clues?

[Lindon]

OK - so I built a simple test bed - using no graphics and a sine wave generator - snippet here:

This does not work when you compile it and run it as a stand-alone (it probably doesn't work as a VST or AU either but I haven't tested that).

Can someone please load this and try it out? Just so i know its not my environment thats messed up somehow.

[ulrik]

@Lindon confirmed here, stand-alone not working :(
running latest script node code (2019-10-07)

[Lindon]

@ulrik thanks ------ @Christoph-Hart !!!?

[Christoph Hart]

Ooopsies, it turns out that the simple gain module has a special treatment and the ENABLE_ALL_PEAKS_METERS flag actually doesn't affect the simple gain modules.

In order to make peak detection work with simple gain modules, you'll need the

ENABLE_PEAK_METERS_FOR_GAIN_EFFECT

preprocessor macro. The rationale behind this is that in 90% of all cases you will use a simple gain module for peak detection anyway (at least I did) but still don't want to waste CPU performance for the other hundreds of modules.

However this flag only appeared directly in the simple gain module and thus set to 0 by default, which I've changed in a recent commit. So either:

• update to the latest scriptnode version or
• define ENABLE_PEAK_METERS_FOR_GAIN_EFFECT=1 in your project

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart great thanks!

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart - well partly successful...

using ENABLE_PEAK_METERS_FOR_GAIN_EFFECT=1

it will now show master VU meters correctly, but for any VU meters on a sub-process (like each individual voice in a dual voice rompler) it wont show any thing.
