I just discovered this well-executed free VU meter plugin with “exquisite ballistics” (to quote the dev). It’s available in VST3 and CLAP formats for Windows and AU, VST3 and CLAP for Mac. Clean UI. Very responsive. Note that the Windows version requires OpenGL.
For Reaper users, it gets even better. Here’s the Kenny Gioia video that introduced me to reVUe. It shows up at 3:40, but for Reaper users, it’s definitely worth watching the entire video.
