What does Waves Dorrough do?

The Waves Dorrough Meter Collection (Stereo) features models of Dorrough’s most popular loudness meters: 280D/240D, 380D/340D, and 40AES/EBU. Developed in association with Dorrough Electronics, these meters provide precision loudness monitoring for all stereo audio scenarios.

What are Dorrough Meters?

The Dorrough 40-A is a professional analog loudness meter, designed for modern stereo recording and broadcast requirements, and offering simultaneous average and peak program display, with separate ballistics and lightning-fast response.

What is VU meter in audio?

VU is an abbreviation for volume unit. Thus, a VU meter is a device for measuring the level of SOUND INTENSITY with audio equipment, such as AMPLIFIERs and TAPE RECORDERs. Although the measurements indicated on such a meter are in DECIBELs, the zero level should not be confused with 0 dB, the THRESHOLD OF HEARING.

What is a good phase correlation?

Correlation Meter: Displays the phase relationship of a stereo signal. A correlation of +1 (the far right position) means that the left and right channels correlate 100%—they are completely in phase.

Why is Doppler effect important?

The Doppler effect is important in astronomy because it enables the velocity of light-emitting objects in space, such as stars or galaxies, to be worked out.

Are VU meters accurate?

A VU meter shows the AVERAGE moment-to-moment volume of an instrument. This is the opposite of the FS meters in your DAWs. They show the EXACT moment-to-moment volume of an instrument. So technically, VU meters are less accurate than their newer FS cousins.

Are VU meters useful?

The VU meter is actually so useful that we have plugin emulations as well! You could argue that VU meters are technically less accurate than FS since they don’t show every single peak and drop in level. However, they represent signal in a more natural way and are powerful tools to reference when mixing.
