Loudness Meter always on as a panel

I would find it incredibly useful to have a Loudness Meter always visible as a dockable panel. When I have it in my plug-in chain in the Audio Mixer, I can open its settings window and target it so it's always visible, but that's not ideal. It floats and I really have no place to put it. Plus, as a floating window, I can't customize it in a workspace.

Right now, I use an iPad via Sidecar to hold the Lumetri Scopes so that I have always-on scopes. It's perfect for the video side, but being able to do the same with the Loudness Meter would make the audio side perfect as well. Imagine all your levels on one side screen, freeing up your monitor for all the working bits.

I do a lot of broadcast work, and having this feature would be an valuable timesaver. Thanks!

This is a great idea and one I highly support! For brodcast professionals (but also for people delivering to streaming platforms - like me) its a must have.

If past experience is anything to go by, the development team should feel motivated by the fact, that DaVinci Resolve has this

 

I need to ALLWAYS see the Loudness meeter and only having it as a plugin on the master mix-bus harms my workflow. Its as important as video scopes.

 

Alternativly, making the audio meters show integrated LUFS values would be good enough IMHO.
