Monitoring recording with TBProAudio mvMeter2 (VU meter)

[waxcylinder]

but I can’t figure out how to make it work while I record.

Does Audacity support plugins whilst recording?
I don’t think so.

Ahhhh - that’s a very good point

Also does anyone know how to resize it - it’s a bit big?

Never been able to resize any plugin on Audacity.

The online videos I’ve seen of this plug-in have a size percentage in the top left corner of the meters - I don’t see that on the version I downloaded today

I see you are on Win 10.
Also, be aware of the other problem I wrote about here:
Updated drivers in Audacity 3.x ?

I suspect it will affect that plugin as well, so the readings you get whilst playing, will be too high.

I think you are probably right - working with one of my QA test-piece songs the VU maters show the audio to be too hot - but Audacity’s meters (and my ears) tell me that this is not the case.

Thanks,
Peter.
