Supervision’s VU meter actually does behave differently in its default configuration than other VU meters I use (e.g. VUMT). This is a -18dBFS 1KHz test tone through VUMT and Supervision:
The default scale in Supervision is “VU dB”. Tbh, I am not sure what that even is, I mean, “dB” what? What reference level? The supervision manual just states “the scale allows you to select a scale according to different broadcast standards”., no more explanation. Maybe someone knows that the “VU db” scale in broadcast standards is.,
Switch the scale to “VU dBFS”, et voilà, same behavior as VUMT:
