I will add the trim setting very soon. I don't really recommend this, but at the moment you can sort of hack your way to doing that by opening the settings file at "~/Library/Preferences/MiniMeters/settings.json" and adding or changing the line that says "trim": 0 to the decibel value you'd like to gain the signal by. The modified audio section should look like this:

"audio": {
         "buffer_size": 4096,
         "channel_left": 0,
         "channel_right": 1,
         "device": "Desktop Audio",
         "trim": 0
     },

I might play around with that when I have some downtime, thanks!

If I make a copy of the unaltered .json file, and put that back before updating to the new version (when released) it should technically revert the settings to default, without potentially messing something up in the future install, right?

Yeah you can back up the settings file! Also, unfortunately, I just updated my development machine to 14.2 and am seeing the issue only when using an external audio device. If it's not too much trouble, could you let me know what audio interface you're using on your primary machine? I am going to have to make a report for this to submit to Apple.

Of course. I’m using an Apogee Symphony Desktop on my primary machine

Thank you! I am reporting this to Apple with some others experiences. I am implementing a Trim adjustment in the settings to address this in the next update (0.8.16). You can expect this within the next few days.

Really appreciate all the effort and bringing these fixes so quickly!

Regarding the not really recommended editing of the settings file: I had some time and wanted to mess around with it a bit, sadly no luck over here. Any changes resulted in Minimeters immediately crashing upon opening, I see why it wasn't recommended haha. No worries though, I can hold out till the update arrives. Also replacing the settings file with the original backup and then restarting solved the crashing.

My assumption is you have a trailing comma, but no worries. If you can wait a couple days I will have that update out.
