Thanks for posting. I've been waiting for this. I work in post for broadcast and levels are very important to me. Was going to buy the hardware version of the Model 40, but at a grand it is pretty steep. These plugs are $500 at Waves online but will probably be a bit cheaper at other dealers. Works for me.

I just installed the package and played with it for a while. (Mercury users need to update their authorization to v6.0.3 before installing.)

I really like the ballistics of the meters and, of course, the fact that they feature proper level scaling — something that we’ll finally get with the arrival of PT8. The latter can be adjusted to three standard reference levels (-14, -18 and -20).

I also like the fact that size (small, medium and large) and orientation (vertical, horizontal) can be set by the user. I envision the larger sized meters to become really useful when viewing a screen from a distance.

The only criticism I can level at the package is that for some of the configurations there is a lot of valuable screen real-estate that gets wasted by an unnecessarily large bezel area, populated by large buttons. The choice of buttons strikes me as particularly odd, especially in light of the fact that the parameters for model, size, orientation and reference level are all set by use of brilliantly designed small buttons found at the top of the plug-ins display. Color me puzzled.

Anyway, a most welcome addition to our arsenals.

Talking Re: Waves Dorrough Meter Collection

Users of Waves Mercury covered by Waves Update Plan receive The Waves Dorrough Meter Collection at no additional charge

(just as it was for GTR3 Version 6, JJP Collection, API Collection, V-Series, etc...)

I love it!

Thank you Waves!

That kind of stuff as always puzzled me there's this big screen with a big plugin and they give us miniscule dot to aim for

Did notice that the price is the same for TDM and RTAS!!

And couldn't Digi let us get rid of their 3/4" menu bar above every single plug in? I'd love to just leave this instantiated on a mix bus in Small mode, for example, but the Digi bar is almost as big as the the plug in. Do we really need to have it on everything.... be great if we could de-select its presence and just use the plug itself.

TDM version on PPC: no crashes yet...
RTAS version on PPC: I don't use RTAS if I can use a TDM version, so I don't know
