The Neutron visual mixer is fantastic, it allows you to quickly mix each track in the stereo field visually.  You can adjust the volume visually.  Lower "tracks" on the screen are lower in volume.  Higher tracks on the screen are higher in volume.  Mono placement is center, and right and left placement are panned respectively.  Each "track placement control" has a "width" adjuster.  This "visual mixer" would have to be placed on the master track right before the final metering plugin.  Some challenges come to mind, what do you do about busses?  What do you do about mid side processing, or side chaining going into the visual mixer? That would make the code tougher.  This would be a secondary mixer in an already mixed project, the visual mixer would have to place each track control in a location based on the LUFS or decibel readings coming from the main mix and then allow you to make adjustments to the entire mix visually.  Just a thought.    Also if y'all need a free meter, "You Lean" makes a great free meter.  Studio one could also compete with a better meter setup, (the mastering page is great) but I could use that mastering page on the master fader in the song arrangement window instead of the project window.  It would also be wonderful to have a printout of dynamics for the entire song like you get with "meter plugs dynameter".   I'd like that on the master fader as well, and a better final compresser / limiter.  A competitive linear phase multi-band crystal clear high cpu BMF as well. I also want 7 Lamborghini's, so please get on that... Lol...  :-)   Thanks and God Bless  -Josh

I didn't know this was being done elsewhere already. I'm new to this and have been mapping my panning locations on paper. I need this!
