Summary	0006781: dual master bus metering
Description	it would be nice to have an opportunity to see 0dBFS and K20/RMS (or others of your choice) meter at the same time in ardour mixer master bus this second meter could replace master fader, which i think is almost never used in case of using two master meters, master fader could be represented as output trim knob near bottom of the channel strip

chickensk 2016-02-21 21:31 reporter ~0017988	I checked your post, as well as a note related to https://github.com/x42/meters.lv2. I tried all of them, and every one of those has different and somewhat fancy GUI. I am more referring to an option like "I don't use master fader, give me another meter in the same space" Hence the picture I attached. Menu setting like you described is cool, but it should include default setting in preferences as well. (like other mixer meter settings) Where else would you find useful to have another meter, other than on master bus? And why would you use more than two meters? I am curious. Thanks. Do you (or anybody else) actually use master fader in mixer or automate it?
