Audio Test Generator / Analog VU Meter and other stuff

Postby Tape Splicer » Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:57 pm

While digitizing some analog material I thought that an analog VU meter would be helpful to me, so I went searching and came across this item. There are two meters take your pick... They are both zip files that are saved and extracted once the download is complete. The site also has a nice "VU Player". Try them out.

The other site has several items that are quite interesting, the page posted is for a "audio test generator" I've used it to set levels when I wish to make recordings from the PC to an analog recorder. The site also has other meters that might be useful.

Nice! Too bad it's only for Windoze though. :-(

CubbyCam: I made an assumption to my self that you are using a Mac so I went searching again and here is what I came up with. I typed "analog vu meter mac" and this item was on a "apple support communities" page. As I use a PC I can't try it out- hope it works for you, or any one who uses a Mac. (I think it may be freeware).

While doing a little more searching to see what is available for Mac osx I came across this little item....
A "LED Spectrum Analyzer plug-in for iTunes" Version 3.0.1 -NOTE: (Intel Only for iTunes 10.4 and later).
