I really can't comment much on 'no luck' - if it doesn't compile or install there will be error messages. > ok, README file got this examples: > > jkmeter -type k14 : K14 scale instead of K20 > jkmeter -A : Ambisonic (4ch) mode > jkmeter -C : Add a stereo correlation meter > > so I can run it, but the readme says: "Added options:" > > are ther other options? jkmeter -h > also: is there a way to calibrate (do I need to calibrate this meter?) Not the meter. But normally you'd use this meter with a calibrated monitor gain, at least for mixdown or mastering. You use pink noise at -20dB RMS (recent versions of jnoise and japa will provide exactly that level, it indicates 0dB on the k20 meter and -6 on the k14)) and adjust the volume for 83 dB(C) from each speaker, then never touch it again. Some people have reported that this is quite a high level. You can use a lower one, the important part is to keep the monitor gain fixed. You will then over time learn to correlate the meter and what your ears tell you. > can i have vertical meter? -V -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia Be quiet, Master Land; and you, Professor, will you be so good as to listen to me ? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
