VUMT meter does have a little led indicator that tells You that the peak is going above -6 dBFS(it's set to -6 dBFS by default but You can change this on the settings) and the right numeric reading is Your peak. Hope this helps.

[@andyboi8283]

So true! If only there was a VU meter with a DBFS meter as well

[@akg.69]

I also faced this same problem while 1st time using VU meter.

[@teddyleary5752]

Put a gain plugin before other plugins and after and this problem is solved.

[@gilbertsevdays]

vu meter don't work on drums i think, cuz the percussive dynamic

[@BR_READDY225]

It works on everything when you “ know what the hell you’re doing”

[@HeroesCinema9503]

​@@BR_READDY225 Why are u always telling youtubers and viewers they doing it wrong all the time but u don't show them how it is done? u like you know everything on mixing and mastering but u don't prove it? i see u commenting trash on all videos i watched on youtube😒

[@harmony198]

Question my 808 is super quiet at 0 vu what happened?

[@realhomestudioofficial]

Aim for around peaks -10dbfs on your daw meters 👍

[@TheRTM]

what does DBFS stand for?

[@realhomestudioofficial]

Decibels full scale 👍

[@AL1RAZAA]

What DAW Is This

[@realhomestudioofficial]

Presonus studio one

[@EdwinDekker71]

Or you know...learn to use it properly

[@clocks8137]

cant even hear the kick with all that washed out nonsense use your ears stop worrying about the meters

[@mgtv-michaelgeetv7464]

Dude thanks so much, I thought my ears were deceiving me. I knew that my drums were leveled & if I hit the 0 on the VU they were way to loud. VU is still a game changer, but you have to trust your ears.

[@hinky7729]

Applies for not saturated source material with high crest factor. If the peaks are under control, the VU Meter is a excellent tool.

[@RC_Cola2020]

Virtually useless meter

[@mdemartial2670]

Routing Yamaha tf1

[@erkansamc2045]

should we use that metod for only kick drum?

[@realhomestudioofficial]

Use those dbfs meters for anything but especially material with fast transients

[@erkansamc2045]

@@realhomestudioofficial thanks

[@CarloCabiling-r6r]

finally! i've been looking for answer for this. thank you!

[@andresb1640]

Yeah percussion will do this. And sharp vocal yelps too

[@BR_READDY225]

I’ve never had that problem before

[@erkansamc2045]

That has been very useful video for me. Thanks alot,🙏

[@shari_8410]

ok so back in the Days … how the Mixing Engineers did gain the Kick , Snare or Toms in the Analog World ? without a later come dBFs Meter ? would be interesting to know :)

[@realhomestudioofficial]

They just got to know how vu meters respond. Vu meters did get the name 'virtually useless meters' though 🤣

[@realhomestudioofficial]

Great question btw
