Sorry you’re running into this. I just fixed a similar issue in this build for someone else who confirmed it was fixed so I’m surprised it’s still happening. Could you please send an email to support@minimeters.app with the current preset you’re using and a last_run_log.txt which can be found in %AppData%\MiniMeters on Windows and /Users/[your name]/Library/Preferences/MiniMeters on macOS?
I think you’re misunderstanding how the math works. To compute the Mid signal it’s (left+right)/2 and the Side is (left-right)/2. Because of this, all sound that is out of phase disappears when computing the Mid, and conversely, all in-phase sound is removed when computing the side.
I believe an LRmax would probably do what you expect! And I got that implemented today, I’m going to test and make sure it’s useful before shipping it.
I looked into how some other meters define "Mid" and they seem to be consistent with my definition. It sounds like you want the max of left and right channels. I will look into adding that in the future.
Hey! Do you happen to have Time Code enabled in the Waveform settings? That adds some vertical padding to the Waveform. If not, it sounds like the volume going into MiniMeters might be a bit low.
Sorry you're running into this. MM is supposed to return the windows to the position they were when waking from sleep / disconnecting and reconnecting monitors. Would you be able to reproduce the issue then send the "last_run_log.txt" file to support@minimeters.app? That would be super helpful.
Would it be possible you could send an email with the crash report from Ableton to support@minimeters.app? They have an article about how to collect it: Ableton: Where to find Crash Reports
Sorry you're running into issues. Thank you for your patience waiting for a reply as I took the day off yesterday. MiniMeters is definitely supported on Win11 so I am sure we can figure out what is going on.
To double check, please reboot your PC if you haven't already. Some of the more common issues on Windows include using ASIO audio drivers which prevent MiniMeters from receiving audio when using Default Output Capture or one of the Output devices in the audio device menu. I would also suggest inserting the "MiniMeters - Audio Server" plug-in on your master channel in your DAW and selecting Audio Server from the audio source menu in MiniMeters.
I got your email as well and am sending a response there too. If you'd like to send screenshots of your setup or additional info that may be helpful.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. I would recommend switching from “Sharper” to “Sharp” mode which is closer to v0.8 and playing around with the Color Map editor to create a map that matches your taste.
Hey! Sorry you're running into this, but thank you for the video. I tried to replicate here, and while I am experiencing some glitchiness which I will fix, I am not seeing the same behavior. Would you mind saving a preset by going to the Preset menu, clicking Save As, and sending that over to contact@minimeters.app. That would be a huge help.
A small followup. I got your email which mentioned this is G Data. I have submitted a request for them to analyze it so it stops showing up as a false positive. Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.
Hey! I can ensure that there is no trojan in MiniMeters. That is a false positive. MiniMeters's installer and contents are codesigned and you can check the certificate by right clicking on the installer, going to Properties, and checking under Digital Signatures . If I was distributing a virus then I would be risking losing my ability to release software on Windows forever.
If you let me know which AV software you're using I can send a copy to them to check.
Hey, it indeed looks like you're hitting the size limit. You can still download v0.8.25 from the Legacy Versions.zip file available the list of downloads here on itch. I will see if I can make the size limit slightly smaller in future versions.
Hey! In previous versions I included MiniMeters (Standalone) and the Server plug-in, but since v1.0 I include those two plug-ins as well as plug-ins for each module which increases the size of the download and install. As well as on macOS I have to support x86_64 and arm64 for M1+ Macs which also increases the size.
If you're just using the standalone you can deselect the plug-ins in the installer.
Hey! It is definitely possible that your graphics card doesn't support the version of DirectX that MiniMeters needs. I'm curious if it is indeed that or something on my end. If you could get your dxdiag and send it to contact@minimeters.app that might help me understand what is happening.
In the meantime, you can switch to OpenGL by holding Shift while launching MiniMeters and selecting OpenGL. Let me know if that helps.
Sorry you're running into this. I fixed a situation that could cause this on Windows a few patches back so if you're not on the latest update I would recommend updating.
If it is not too much trouble I would like to ask for some details: What triggers the window moving back to another monitor? Such as closing and reopening MiniMeters, the PC going to sleep, or something else?
And if you can consistently trigger the issue, could you please perform a Save As on the preset you're using and name it "Before" and then trigger the issue and do another Save As with the name "After". Then, quit MiniMeters, go to the "%AppData%\MiniMeters" directory on Windows or "/Users/[your name]/Library/Preferences/MiniMeters" directory on macOS and send me the "last_run_log.txt" and the two presets you saved to contact@minimeters.app?
Hey! Thanks for waiting patiently for a reply here. I was away for a few days. You absolutely can turn off the save prompt, as you discovered. I hope to get the “over eager” save prompt fixed this week.
Hey! Thank you for your patience as I took a few days off from work. Would you be able to send a screenshot of what you see to contact@minimeters.app? I will absolutely get whatever is going on fixed for you.
I am constantly looking at performance improvements as it is the most enjoyable part of programming to me. And looking at options to use less CPU while MiniMeters is idle is definitely something I can do more of. At the moment, 20%-25% on one core is acceptable to me. On my M1 Max, MiniMeters is almost always on an efficiency cores and 25% CPU on a Mac with 10 cores is 2.5% of the total CPU, but I expect more improvements there as time goes on.
Hey! Could you double check that it is installed to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\MiniMeters" on Windows or "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/MiniMeters" on macOS? If it is not there please try reinstalling, or reach out to contact@minimeters.app and I can provide more troubleshooting steps!
