Can anyone suggest an AU VU meter plugin?

Vintage Meter isn't on Intel, and I can't justify paying $100 for a whole suite when I only want a VU.

I have a VU in Logic, but I need something simple for my FCP system at work.

Thoughts?

OK - Found one - Doesn't work in FCP - but I can maybe route through Garage Band...

PSP Audio has a free VU meter.

The PSP Vintage Meter is meant to be very good, unfortunately it was never released in an AU version for Intel.

In the VST and RTAS versions it is apparently very good.

VST-AU wrapper.

Otherwise get the real thing.

Thought about the wrapper option, but seems overkill for just an AU meter.

Could do the real thing, but then it becomes a case of where do I put it, etc etc.

I treid the PSP one a few times but could never get it to install, just makes my system hang.

Under your computer monitor, before your monitor level control :)

Checked these out?

No bouncy needles but both have peak/rms/correlation meters and both free.
