I am starting to look at the VU's quite differently now. Rather than
look at max level. It is interesting to look at the min level and how
much the needle moves around. Being virtual meters they are not
constrained by their own inertia and can really move.

The VU meter on the SB is just gimmick, really useless if you ask me. It
doesnt even follow any accepted standard for 0 dB. A digital peak-meter
