Hello, one thing I think is missing is a professional metering plugin!

What kind of meters would you like to see added?

I think something like brainworx bx meter would be perfect. Something that stays neatly on the right side of your session. Elegant and not intrusive. You don't need to open and close like you would with plugins. And I would expect it be done the Ableton way: just right.

Bump! I read an extensive thread where Tarekith and another discussed loudness and I think it was mostly about the noise floor and getting clean recordings etc... and I learned a lot about metering from there.

I think it's obvious that Live could have some major improvements to what the levels are telling you, both in the individual tracks and on the master. Right now it's just "red means bad"
