I have checked with an "apollo solo", there is no direct signal from the card to the minimeters, it only comes from the desktop and it is not the real signal, about 9db less, I have to route the signal to +9 but in the end it is still not exact I use it to have references and it bothers me that I can't have the exact relationship.
Hey! Sorry you’re running into this. In 14.2 Apple broke the audio capture with external interfaces. I added the trim slider to help compensate. I opened a ticket with Apple and am hoping for a fix in a future macOS update. For now I would recommend using the trim slider until a fix is available… alternatively, there are third party options that may help: https://minimeters.app/help/audio-macos/
This looks so great, but I'm concerned that it won't work on my system because the system requirements say it doesn't work with ASIO. Does this mean if I'm using Ableton Live with the ASIO Audio Driver Type on Windows 11, it will not work? Please let me know!
Unfortunately due to the nature of ASIO it does not allow intercepting the audio of the device for applications like monitoring or recording.
However, MiniMeters will still work with the MiniMetersServer plugin. You can simply select "MiniMeters Plugin" in the audio device section of MiniMeters and add the plugin to your master channel in Ableton! Definitely give the demo a try to see if it works well with your setup.
Yeah this totally works! I just put the MiniMetersServer plugin at the end of my master chain and it reads the signal into MiniMeters with no problem. Best $10 plugin purchase I've made in a while! As some advice, I feel that you shouldn't even say that it doesn't work with ASIO because you've developed a workaround with the plugin, so it does indeed work with ASIO if you use the plugin
Hey! Sorry you're running into this! Is the screen fully black or are you able to open the Settings pane? If you can open the settings then I would recommend checking out the Help section's Audio Routing articles.
Alternatively, if you have the ability to reach out over Discord I can help you better there for sure. If it's a more serious bug I will gladly work with you to get it working for you and others.
Thanks for the reply. The modules are all in line with one another horizontally. what would be a good idea would be to have them Vertical as this can work better depending on people displaying monitors or room on their screens
the other thing that I tend to be doing is "pinning and un-pinning" the plugin GUI as things get lost behind or Im running out of screen space.
is there a way to create a hotkey or shortcut to toggle on/off "pin & un-pin" or to minimise and re-open the GUI
Ahh gotcha. I will definitely be supporting vertical and horizontal layouts, as well as a custom layout mode in v1.0. At the moment it's just horizontal and popped out modes.
and while i'm at it :D another amazing feature would be to add reference curve overlays for the spectrum, like for a example a pink noise curve... vision4x has this and it is awesome... Don't get me wrong, i don't want to appear greedy, just want to give suggestions to make this even better! and would definitely pay again for an upgrade including those two features
would you consider to add one more meter to your already amazing tool? I'm specifically looking for a stereo metering tool like this one, because is so great to read and very helpful, and other than the ADPTR tool (wich isn't customisable like yours is), i couldn't find any. i guess a lot of people are looking for this... thanks in advance! all the best and keep up the great work!

Glad it works. I can find a way to word it better as well.
Thanks again. Looking forward to any future updates or other programs from you
So I purchased Minimeters recently and its super buggy. The screen just stays black and doesn't work. Do you know what might be causing this issue?

Loving the plugin I wish I bought it sooner. be cool if you could stack the windows on top of each other as a drag & drop
Hey thanks for picking it up... Could you elaborate on what you mean? I'm not 100% sure I understand.

Awesome program, looking forward to 1.0!
hello! When that 1.0 will be released? I’m very looking for that full screen working because I’m on laptop and every pixel count 😅
I am actively working on it every day, but I do not have a release date at the moment.
and while i'm at it :D
