first version (fixed to display master) is implemented in 3.3-42-ge469ce0 |

Just tested this out and it's looking good. I understand it's just a first version but thought I'd report something I noticed. When the master bus peaks and turns red, and after the toolbar meter has fallen off to zero, the bottom half of the meter is grey/not coloured. I also noticed when this happens, the issue also appears in the meterbridge. This does not appear to affect the master bus in the mixer window. Screenshot it attached. Also, would it be possible to reset the metering after it peaks by clicking on the toolbar meter itself? |

Thanks for the heads-up. The background issue is fixed in 3.3-62-g069fd15 |

clicking on the level meter resets the peak-hold indicator (the small bar in the meter). The red-background is linked to the all-time-peak (the numerical button in the mixer-window, and the gray/red button in the meterbridge). Since the meters in the editor-window don't have that button, one possible solution would be to make "double-click on meter" act as "reset all time-max". Personally I like having a dedicated button to reset that. Double-click would be too easy.. |

Double-click would be too easy? I think it wouldn't be very obvious :) I do think though that a dedicated button would be the best option, both for being more obvious and also being consistent with how the other meters reset themselves. |

The problem with a dedicated button is screen-space in the editor-window. The meters in the track-header as well as the toolbar are already quite short. taking 12-16 px height for the button away would make them even shorter. A button next to the meters may be an option.. |

I've added a mock up of a button/bar beside the toolbar meter. When you said a button beside the meter I initially thought of a small button similar in size to the meterbridge reset button. Not sure what you had in mind but I was just thinking if a vertical button/bar alongside the meter would work, if that's not what you already had in mind :) First of all, because it's a short meter and only an indication of where your level is, in the upper limits, it's not always perfectly clear if it has peaked (while the meter is still active) as the gradient in the background is darker at the top. If you are looking straight at it you would notice but there should be a strong indication that you have peaked, something that you can't miss. A vertical bar down the side, that turns the same shade of red as the peak read out box on the channel strips would be a strong visual that you have peaked. Something like this would also be big enough to press on to reset. |

Indeed, I had a button above the meters in mind. button on the side - as per mockup - was added in 3.3-143-gc06a3a6 |
