K-meter for Ardour

Getting Stuff Done Hints and Tricks
#1

One of the features of the Mixbus product is a K-meter, based on the concept introduced by Bob Katz.

Out of curiosity, I did some googling to see if I could find a K-meter plugin to use with Ardour, and came up with this:

http://code.mzuther.de/kmeter/

It operates as a standalone Jack-enabled application, or a VST plugin. It’s free (ie no cost and GPL 3). Haven’t used it, but thought it might be of interest to some users?

Just search for “k-meter bob katz” if you are not familiar with the concept.

@PaulRH: this: http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/jkmeter-0.4.0.tar.bz2 would generally be considered the “canonical” K-meter on Linux (written by the great fons adriennsen).
