What if you could monitor any signal from your DAW with physical analog VU-meters? Check this out!
This DIY project is a rack of 10 MIDI controlled VU-meters that can be controlled from anywhere in your DAW with the DP Meter Pro plug-in.
The rack was built with a Teensy microcontroller (MCU) that simply translates MIDI coming thru the USB port into analog signals to drive the vu meters and LEDs. Metering and ballistics are managed with the DP Meter Pro plug-in:
