Hey folks, I’d be all over 4 of those FDs if they sported a green, yellow, red meter display like Cubase (and most digital mixers). I’m wondering how many feel the same way?

#2

you forgot option 3 “don’t care”

#3

Added the option :slight_smile:

But based on your other email about not really liking the FD, you should vote assuming the FD did what you wanted and what color should the meters be?

#4

lol, well based on my opinion (based on never using an FD, so it is a suspect opinion to be sure) the color of the flashy lights is the least of the problems. Heck, I don’t see that they are even be calibrated, so as far as I can tell they are just activity lights. Even if you had multiple colors, the information would still be meaningless.

#5

Ok, well… for the purposes of this poll, please assume that the data is meaningful:

  1. The meters actually map to the meters in Cubase precisely
  2. The clipping zone means clip
  3. They are close enough to realtime to be useful

Also: the poll lets you change your vote.
