An Audio Tool That Should Be in Every DAW

VU Meter is a standalone analog audio tool that helps monitor recording levels. This resizable, alternative PPM style meter works on Windows 7/Vista. The tool helps you attain enough headroom, optimal levels and a much clearer mix in your DAW. It also helps address issues that lead to congested and muddled mixes. By averaging out several shorter peaks, the tool mimics the way your ears react to audio, thereby providing you a realistic representation of how the audio level alterations are perceived.
