Add a compression meter

It’s simple, but very useful in order to visually adjust the amount of compression you want compressors to apply.

Add a real time indication of the compression applied to the signal. Some simple meter would work.

Thank you! Keep the great work, NDSP!

I’m sure this option will help many people achieve better tone and better understand how a compressor works.

Description:
The Nano Cortex currently lacks any visual feedback for Gain Reduction (GR) on its compressor blocks (1176, Opto Comp, Solid State, and OCA Comp).

Setting up precise compression for bass or studio chains is nearly impossible without knowing how many dBs are being reduced. I suggest:

  1. In the Cortex Cloud App: A real-time Gain Reduction meter in the compression edit screen.

  2. On the Device: Using the LED ring or the main LED strip to show compression activity when a compressor block is active.

I already posted this request some time ago. You add a helpful idea, though. I like using the LEDs in the unit for this purpose.
