The feed meters can now see the signal you actually have — and they tell you when it isn't loud enough to count.

What was wrong with 0.1.13's meter

It borrowed the mic meter's −48…0 dBFS scale. That's the wrong range for a line input: a meeting mic sits near the top of it, a feed off an interface routinely does not. A real source arriving at −57 dBFS lit zero segments — the instrument built to answer "is signal arriving?" answered "no" while signal was arriving.

Rescaled to −60…0 dBFS over 12 segments, lit so that anything above digital silence lights at least one. Presence is the question this meter answers; it must never round presence to zero.

The gate is now on the scale

SignalGate holds the duck at −50 dBFS. Audio below that is still silence to the system — it won't duck the room, and the lamp reads "latched · silent" even with the feed on air. That threshold lands exactly on the 2/12 boundary, so the first two segments are the sub-gate zone: tick-marked, lit in a muted colour.

One dim segment means: present, but the system doesn't count it as signal yet. If that's what you see, ride the gain up until you're clear of the tick.

level reads
−57 dBFS 1/12, sub-gate
−50 dBFS 2/12, on the line
−34 dBFS 6/12
−11 dBFS 10/12
