Greetings: All my life in the Sound Recording business, analog only, retired 20 years, I've just started to learn digital sound..
So far I've been able to copy disks, tapes and LP's to files, then burn CD's but it's been empirical as far as "setting" the proper volume or recording gain..
Using Slackware 9.1, bare.i, kernel 2.4.22, all CLI; play; rec; rexima, as the mixer, it's been trial and error, with the final product satisfactory.. However, I miss the former familiar VI, VU, Nixie, Oscilloscope, Dot/Bar Display, LED, LCD, etc volume indicators..
I fetched the only sound package that mentions a VU meter, SLab, but it's GUI and requires a Tcl/Tk package version I don't have yet.. It, also, seems to be more powerful than I require..
I thought I'd query the list for some pointers for further learning or, possibly, some valid suggestions... Is it possible the dynamic range of digital is so wide that a "speedometer" is not needed?? From the sound levels heard on present TV that might be the case. <grin>
Have you looked at audacity? It will do many things which might give you the result you want.
