I see. Thank you for doing that investigation work. Roughly a year ago another user has essentially the same issue also when using two identical monitors. We found a way to disambiguate using the location reported by Windows in the registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY\[YOUR DISPLAY ID]. I ended up taking the location reported, hashing it (converting it to that number you see), then using that to find the display when opening MiniMeters. It seems in your case it's reporting the same ID, which was presumed to not happen.

Would you be able to check that section of your registry to see if the path inside your display's ID is unique to each? Additionally, could you please check to see if the EDID in "Device Parameters" is also unique to each individual display?

Hey!

1. I am working on a way to allow for conveniently switching the inputs. It should land in v1.1.

2. This should already be happening. What OS are you using?

Hey! At the moment, MiniMeters just shows up to the nyquist of whatever sample rate your audio device is set to. If there isn't a need to use such a high SR, lowering it will reduce the maximum frequency.

Hey! I will look into a time synced grid option. As for reorienting, that is not currently supported but may come in the future.

Hey! Sorry for missing this. I don’t have plans to implement selectable Left, Right, Mid, Side, but I did identify the issue causing audio panned to the right from not showing. This will be fixed in 1.0.29.

Hey! I’m not sure exactly what you mean by limiting a track to a certain level of LUFS? Could you please elaborate?

What issue are you running into? If you click the Pin To Top button MiniMeters will stay above every window (except for full-screen windows).

Hey sorry about the issue with your card being declined. You already reached out to support@itch.io? I don't have direct access to their payment system to help you unfortunately.

Hey pists. I don’t have any plans to do sales!

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.

Hey! Unfortunately, the font cannot currently be swapped out.

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.

Does adjusting the Trim option which is found in the Audio Source panel address the issue for you?

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.

Hey! 

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. 

You can find the log file by following the instructions here: https://minimeters.app/help/manually-send-crash-report/

Hey Kay,

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

I'm sure I can get this fixed for you.

Hey. Unfortunately that is a limitation in Windows. I would recommend disabling Stick mode by going to the Reposition menu and unchecking "Stick".

Hey Jeremy,

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.

I got your email, but I am still working out the issue. Thank you for your patience.

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.

Just wanted to respond here to say that Amadeus reached out over discord and the issue they pointed out will be fixed in the next patch 1.0.19.

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.

I'll see what I can do, but that seems like something the team at Ableton should fix since most other DAWs appear to handle that correctly.

I see what you mean. I'll test against other VU meters and see what they do.

Hey! You do not. You can get updates by following the steps here: https://minimeters.app/help/find-updates/

On the standalone app, yes! Just select the Preset menu and either select one of the presets or create a new preset with your chosen layout.

Hey! If you select Mid in the settings for the VU Meter that will be a sum of the left and right channels.

Hey! I've never sold MiniMeters on gumroad. If you're aware of someone selling this on gumroad please reach out to me at contact@minimeters.app. 

Alternatively, you can try the steps listed here. If that doesn't help feel free to reach out to me via email and I can look into it. https://minimeters.app/help/find-updates/

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. While I totally understand the desire for this type of feature it's not on the radar the moment.

Hey! Thank you for your patience. Please reach out to support@itch.io as unfortunately this is not something I can fix on my end.

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! Thanks for the suggestion. I am looking into how I want to make this work in a future update.

Hey! I would recommend trying the steps here and if you still need help send an email to contact@minimeters.app

https://minimeters.app/help/find-updates/

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.

Hey marodilp, 

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? 

Thanks,
Joe

Hey! I definitely want to add keyboard shortcuts and those will be added in the future.
