Greetings! We have been using vmix for a long time. For a long time, the low frequency of updating the sound levels has been slightly annoying. I noticed that this frequency is approximately equal to 12-16 FPS. Sometimes this frequency is not enough for full monitoring of clock noise and instant deviations of the level from the norm (very fast overload, very fast signal loss). I understand that vmix is not an audio software, but still I think that this is a very important point in the broadcast. Do you plan to increase this FPS at least 2 times faster? the point is that the low refresh rate misses some of the loudness measurements. so you can skip overdrive peaks or dips Click for GIF! 2021-11-06 21-36-23_1.gif (2,392kb) downloaded 11 time(s). audioLevel.png (3kb) downloaded 1 time(s).

I'm not sure that rate of update is what you're after. It could be that you want different metering ballistics. Instantaneous peak vs RMS weighted reading.

You could maybe use a 3rd party 64-bit VST3 meter plugin, like mvMeter2 from tb-software.com.Lots of options for meter scales & display size, and runs at the GUI/screen refresh rate. Only missing feature I can see is no Always-On-Top option for the window, so you would probably need to drag it onto a different display so it doesn't get covered when you click on the vMix GUI. mvMeter2-75.PNG (196kb) downloaded 2 time(s).

(BTW, I did ask him a while back if he'd consider adding NDI input as an option, but I don't think he's wanting to continue development and add anything new.)
