Creating A VU Meter
Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2022 3:03 pm
For a couple of the tracks I was putting on YT I decided to do a video containing all the main elements of Magic. I included a stereo EQ, stereo waves & a timer. I also made a VU meter of sorts. I created an image resembling a level meter and used scale & translate to have it react to the volume of the music. I then had it mask an image of a colour gradient. See for example:
My question is if there is any way of making sure that the meters are accurate? Sometimes it feels like tracks of the same volume are not getting the same reaction. I'm not very advanced when it comes to Magic and even coming up with what I've done so far was an effort. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
