      @Natanr
      i just exported the code from @Lunacy-Audio , it works in VST but not in FX plugin. there must be something breaking. i tried with an old version of hise (i don't know which one) and it works . I advise you to find an older version to export your plugin with the vu meter

      Mate

      Did You Exported The FX Plugin With An Old Scriptnode Version?
      Can You Investigate And Find When You Downloaded The Zip File?

        I'll take a look, but it might indeed be possible that the signal chain in the FX processing mode does not pick up the levels of the master container properly.

        @Christoph-Hart Thanks Christoph, So Is There Any Workaround, Like Connecting The VU Meter To A Simple Gain MOdule, Or Something Like That?!

        I Need This Really Bad To Get My FX Plugin Done :(

          @Natanr Try this...I send you a small test project with a filmstrip (107 frames) connected to a Simple Gain Module LevelMeterTest.zip

          Then you can replace the filmstrip image with your's and adjust the code and number of frames according to your filmstrip image ☺

                  @DimitrisSP Testing this , what is that levelMeterLock ?

                  Also , any thoughts on how to change this to a mono meter , that is , see both channels on one meter ?

                    take the input values , sum them and divide by 2....

                      Since This Made By Sliders, You Need To Place An Empty / Transparent PNG Over The VU Sliders To Avoid Mouse Click / Drags.

                        @lalalandsynth Sorry for been late to answer...I just now entered in the forum!
                        In order to have a mono functionality use only one LevelMeter...
                        Delete ''LevelMeterR'' and rename "LevelMeterL" to "LevelMeter"
                        Very correctly as @Lindon said ...sum the Left and Right values and divide them by 2...

                        Use this snippet

                        And as @Natanr said very correctly if you will not use an invisible image like "levelMeterLock" on top of the LevelMeter you will have problems with Mouse Click / Drags.πŸ‘

                          Its all in the algorithm....maybe a few guys here could help you out.

                            Thanks a lot @DimitrisSP for the vu-meter. I modified it a bit to make whole integers from your png of 107 strips and set it to -100 to +6 dbFS. Also added peak values in labels for both L, R and highest of the two.

                            Here is that project (scriptnode 2020-08-20): LevelMeterTest--andioak-peak-values.zip

                            @Christoph-Hart Is there a pan-law compensation built into the Simple Gain module/plugin? To compensate for the increased value from the other channel? The values I get are steep when I pan towards one way, but it might be my programming here. (and my gain is +1, but at Left 40:ish i get around 5-6 db over the center peak, thatΒ΄s about what pan law should compensate for...) (and the gif below is 7fps :) )

                            Here it is:
                            levelmetertest-andioak-mod-peak-vals.gif

                            });
                            
                            t.startTimer(30);
                            

                            UPDATE: this code does what itΒ΄s supposed to, but using labels to be updated by a timer seems to crash hise and the output plugins/standalone exported instruments. Read here about it.

                              @andioak Apparently there's a 3db compensation law but not sure...

                              
                              float BalanceCalculator::getGainFactorForBalance(float balanceValue, bool calculateLeftChannel)
                              {
                              	if (balanceValue == 0.0f) return 1.0f;
                              
                              	const float balance = jlimit(-1.0f, 1.0f, balanceValue / 100.0f);
                              
                              	float panValue = (float_Pi * (balance + 1.0f)) * 0.25f;
                              
                              	return 1.41421356237309504880f * (calculateLeftChannel ? cosf(panValue) : sinf(panValue));
                              }
                              
                              void BalanceCalculator::processBuffer(AudioSampleBuffer &stereoBuffer, float *panValues, int startSample, int numSamples)
                              {
                              	FloatVectorOperations::multiply(panValues + startSample, float_Pi * 0.5f, numSamples);
                              
                              	stereoBuffer.applyGain(1.4142f); // +3dB for equal power...
                              
                              	float *l = stereoBuffer.getWritePointer(0, startSample);
                              	float *r = stereoBuffer.getWritePointer(1, startSample);
                              
                              	while (--numSamples >= 0)
                              	{
                              		*l++ *= cosf(*panValues) * 1.4142f;
                              		*r++ *= sinf(*panValues);
                              
                              		panValues++;
                              	}
                              }
                              

                              Can't help pressing F5 in the forum...

                                @ustk thanks. whoah.. math is beyond my scope atm, but pan law I thought would remove the 3db. Not add it as suggested there. I got that wrong though, as pan law is the opposite.
