As a reminder of our conversation on Discord:

For dynamics processors, it would be great to have a gain reduction meter.
A gain change meter, that can go up as well as down, would be even better.
This is since upward compressors and expanders dynamically add gain instead of reducing it.

I imagine it will be a line at 0dB, and an area when it goes above or below that.
Does that make sense?

Thanks again for this wonderful library!

• Visualizers
• Utils

Currently, "*Graph" and "*Meter" views are planned for:

• Peak volume
• Loudness
• Gain reduction

...and more may come in the future. The issue is that implementing these as seperate views will lead to a lot of code duplication as the logic behind different types of meters and graphs is largely identical - aside from the scaling of values.

So, maybe an abstract solution that is a bit more flexible would be better. Something like a universal Graph and Meter that can display peak volume, gain reduction, and anything else you throw at it, depending on the context. In the same vein, the scaling (linear/dB/freq/etc) should probably be handled using some ubiquitous scaling Enum that all visualizers can go on to use.

It's worth thinking about this as soon as possible as it would involve a major breaking change, especially as more views get added.

Modifiers should be used in place of those parameters that are often left untouched or frequently set to a default. For example:

• ValueScaling
• Inversion (f.e. of peak graph, etc)
• Orientation
