I have a strange question, I was wondering if anyone would see any value in offering an option (not replacement) for being able to show a decimal place value in the DSP meter in the Menu Bar.
I considered it. There’s just no value to it. Variations of < 1% are typical on all platforms, and make no practical difference unless you’re already so close to your system’s limit that chance dictates you will get load-induced xruns anyway. At that point, the value after the decimal is still useless.
Hey Paul, thank you for your reply.
I was debating to request, but figured I would ask here before I did, now that I know your answer I will not.
I was thinking of this maybe being an option to be added, where it could be choosen to display maybe in the DSP meters context menu.
Might not be something users would want to keep on all the time because not sure could be a little distracting if number updates constantly but guess it would be similar to the DSP meter without the decimal and how it updates.
I was trying to think of uses/reasons myself as well.
-Could give user an idea that high DSP moment is on its way down, if it is going slow enough not to go into the next whole number down.
-I was thinking similar to above item just mentioned a post I made in the past DSP percentage slow drop down when close plugin
similar concept where it can show user that the DSP is going down in this slow drop down moment after close plugins.
-Also post I made in past about being able to see DSP in percentages per plugin which was mentioned cannot really be done. This decimal could also be used for this if user was to open a plugin into an empty session to get ideas of percentage used.
Anyways, not to say you are going to change your mind regardless but just figured I would share some of the things I was trying to justify this with.
Thank you again for your reply.
If any other users can think of any other benefits I would be interested in hearing them.
Thank You
