Default What meters are you using?
I need to finally purchase some meters and wanted to know what you (post mixers) are using? The two choices (or vendors) that I've found are Dorrough and Logitek, or are there any others worth mentioning? I'm mostly going to mix independant film for dvd and some TV commercials, but will also be doing some dialogue and sfx editing for theatrical.
I'm looking for a pair (L/R) right now, but will add more to complete a surround setup in the near future.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Peace
Also, I would like to thank everyone here for contributing to this (post) forum, as I have learned a great deal just by reading and absorbing all the info here. I would like to say that all of you ROCK!!!!!! for lending your years of experience and knowledge so that others can benefit and grow to be better engineers and mixers.
I just wanted to say thanks!

It´s more a mastering product but may be worth to look at it Pinguin . You need an extra PC for it but with a KVM you can use the same screen. The software is expandable to surround and also has the Bob Katz scales, correlation meter and analyzer (stereo and surround).
It´s a tool I couldn´t work without.

Cheers Wolfgang

A company called RME makes an excellent metering hardware with a software display called Digicheck. The thing about these meters are you can make them exactly what you want them to be. I love them.
Peace,
Brandon

I am using SurroundControl 30900 from RTW for both surround monitoring and metering. I really like how the monitoring and metering act together.

I am now using the Elemental Audio XL Meters and they are great. Inexpensive, flexible and have a variety of meters including K metering. Multiple metering is also possible as it is a Plug-in. Check them out.
