Why another metering plugin?

The UDP Audio Meter is a Plug-in + App system that offloads CPU-intensive meter rendering from the DAW host as well as screen real estate to a remote device. For example a tablet or a separate computer.

This architecture enables high-quality real-time metering while minimizing processing load on the audio workstation.

Our goal is to have an accurate real time visual reference of your mix and at the same time off load the CPU intensive task of proper meter calculations and drawing from the DAW System to a remote host using minimum network bandwidth.
