Recording software with "large" volume metres?!

[Phaser]

Need some software to record mixes when i'm on my decks.

Used to use Cool Edit/Sound Forge/Adobe Audition on Windows which all worked great, it had a large volume meter running the full width of the screen horizontally, so you could just glance over and check how loud everything was nice and clearly.

GarageBand is awful, the volume meters are absolutely tiny, no good for mixing anyway when the tracks are changing volume etc.

Anyone recommend anything? As long as it has reasonably large level meters, and can export to mp3 it's fine.

Cheers.

you checked out audacity?

Yeah it seems really jumpy/stuttery on my MacBook for some reason.

Did you download the for Intel version? and/or the beta?

I use audacity to record my mixes. When you say its stuttery do you mean the way the wave form updates? It does this on mine aswell but the actual audio is recorded perfectly.

I'm sure you can open the channel strips up to a larger size in Garageband

Ah right, I never actually listened to the audio after.

Any idea how?

You're better off learning to get the levels right in your mixes by ear anyway, rather than relying on a bar graph.

I've had huge level meters in Sountrack before though. No idea what version that was on.

I do but just because the levels on each individual channel/the earphones are right dosen't mean it's OK on the master output.
