This is all really helpful info. Thanks.

A few have mentioned that the meters are not acurate in software. As far as getting a high quality meter, and calibrating it. I'm afraid I'm a little in the dark about how to do that.

Are we talking about a dual channel meter?
Where would it go in the chain for someone who mixes entirely ITB?
How would you calibrate it?
What would a good one cost? (not the high end, but one that would be acurate still)

Thanks!
