Dave, Studio Recorder has a built-in VU meter. I have that software but have not had time to work with it. It appears to do what Goldwave does and more. Much of it has to do with recording talkingbooks, but if I understand it right, it can create "tracks" for cd's.
Studio Recorder can be downloaded in demo mode from aph.org If necessary, it could be good to chat about this off list.
