      Hello,
      before writing this topic, I searched everywhere on the forum to try to understand a chosen thing.
      I can't create a vu meter using a strip film.
      I designated the saw meter myself and when I meet it on my project in the form of a button assigned to a gain reduction of the compressor. nothing is happening.
      I know there is quite a response already on this subject, but no one has detailed the simplest manipulation ...
      thank you 🙂

        It looks like you're trying to hook up a gain reduction meter to a dynamics module.
        here ya go! in 13 easy steps ☺
        I'm using "right click" auto complete as much as possible.

        #1 - Add Dynamics module

        #2 - Create a reference to the module

        2 - create reference.gif

        #3 - Create a slider and add reference

        3 - add slider and create reference.gif

        #4 - create a timer

        4 - create timer.gif

        #5 - Create function for timer

        5 - create timer function.gif

        #6 - create variable to hold a reference of gain reduction

        6 - get reference to compressor reduction.gif

        #7 - convert reduction to dB

        7 - convert value to dB.gif

        #8 - set value of slider to gain reduction

        8 - set knob value to reduciton.gif

        #9 - set slider mode to decibel

        10 - set knob mode to decibel.gif

        #10 - Start Timer

        9 - start timer.gif

        #11 - test that reduction meter is working

        11 - test that gr meter is working.gif

        #12 - set slider image to your strip

        12 - set image to strip.gif

        #13 - test that strip is working

        13 - test meter.gif

            @dustbro hello, your explanations on very well functioned on the compressor, I would now like to do it but in view of the master commenter can do? I can't find anything on this subject which explains well as you did 😉

                Excellent, trying this.

                Questions

                1. How can I tweak ballistics ?
                2. How can I make a meter from input and output ?

                thanks !!

                  How can I tweak ballistics ?

                  try tweaking the "middle position" setting

                    I am testing this again , just using a simple gray strip .
                    I am rendering the strip at double size , and using 0.5 scale factor , it always works when I am changing the scale factor but as soon as I compile in HISE it goes back to the "Default" or rather the setting in the property editor and the filmstrip does not show ?

                            @dustbro This is fantastic, Thank you for posting this. Ive been following along with this but i seem to have an issue with the VU filmstrip displaying properly. I wondered if there is a setting i have missed and should be using. VU.GIF

                                @Glyn make sure to set the slider to dB.

                                  @lalalandsynth Hi Thanks for the advice. I have checked that it is set to decibels but nothing changed. So I thought ide give another film strip i had a go and found that it displayed properly although it seems to work back to front. When no signal is passing through it reads flat out in the red. Thanks for your help though. Its very much appreciated.

                                    @Glyn Then the filmstrip is reversed I would assume ?
