Minimeters App Review and Update: The Ultimate Customizable Audio Visualizer for Bitwig and Other DAWs

[00:00:00] Yo folks, welcome back. I want to give you a small heads up on this Saturday for
[00:00:04] Minimeters and you can see this here at the top. It's some kind of application to visualize what's going on in your audio
[00:00:11] and if you see
[00:00:13] Videos or reels on tiktok Instagram and so on a lot of people use this and the most asked question under these videos is probably
[00:00:21] What kind of application is this and the answer is of course?
[00:00:25] It's mini meters and you can download this here from this web page called mini meters app
[00:00:30] It costs you 20 bucks if you don't own this if you already own the beta you can
[00:00:37] Just download this for free
[00:00:39] But 20 bucks is actually not that much. It's a nice application. So like I said, it's a visualizer
[00:00:45] you can more more or less grab the audio from your output device on
[00:00:51] Windows at least I use on Windows the
[00:00:55] Loop back device so I can just grab the audio from my door
[00:00:59] which is nice and
[00:01:02] then you can customize how it looks what kind of
[00:01:06] Modules you want to have what kind of visual modules you want to have I have here basically everything
[00:01:11] So if you're a spectrogram, I have wave phone display. I have your stereo meter. I have
[00:01:16] Love's loudness meter after view meter. I have an oscilloscope and also here
[00:01:22] Spectrum analyzer
[00:01:24] You can also resize this and can put this in all kinds of places on your screen
[00:01:28] Very customizable
[00:01:31] Here on the web page. It gives you also the information what you have
[00:01:35] Or at least what's new in the application. We have your view meter
[00:01:39] The waveform has some new features here loop disable scrolling so you can loop. I haven't tried this yet
[00:01:46] spectrogram also here now with
[00:01:50] A tilt setting adjust the balance between the low and the high frequency quantits
[00:01:54] We can basically say oh, I want to have more like an pink noise leveled
[00:01:58] Visualizer or you want to more go like for 4.5 DB product or something like this
[00:02:04] There's also a new sharper mode now improve timing and frequency detail so you can see exactly what's going on in your
[00:02:13] spectrum very nice a
[00:02:16] Spectrum analyzer is also in there also here new the melt scaling
[00:02:20] It basically kind of distributes here the frequencies a bit differently so you can maybe
[00:02:26] Visualize certain parts better
[00:02:30] Target curve we have a target curve now so we can load in here wave files something you want your music to compare to maybe
[00:02:40] You know a reference track or something like this and then you have an overlay
[00:02:45] Of the frequency so you can orient orient yourself where you are with your frequency content
[00:02:52] So we have a target curve nice to have the stereo meter is also now in there loudness
[00:02:57] It was in before but we can measure here and love so I am as if you're more like more old school or still a scope
[00:03:04] New save what you hear so that's also now a recorder in there
[00:03:08] So we can record stuff on the fly just hit record and you have a way file or I can just drag out
[00:03:15] The way file into your door and just mangle with it mess it up or whatever
[00:03:20] There's also here clip the previous 10 16 seconds of audio millimeter saves the previous 10 seconds of audio
[00:03:28] Receive for immediate capture track directly into your audio tool of choice
[00:03:34] So it's really nice to have and you can see on the background
[00:03:37] It's bitwig right and that's something I noticed lately that a lot of developers
[00:03:43] Use bitwig for some reasons every time I try to download a new plug-in or I want to watch what's going on with the plug-in
[00:03:50] I watch a demo video and
[00:03:52] the developer uses bitwig for some reasons so bitwig is everywhere at least for me what I see online
[00:04:00] And we have also your mini meters now as a plug-in so you can load in
[00:04:07] VST or clap plug-in into your door if you don't want to use it as a standalone application
[00:04:13] So this is also possible
[00:04:15] but for me I use your the standalone app it works great just grabbing to
[00:04:20] the loopback device of my audio of my bitwig connect it works very well
[00:04:28] This is also a nice the stick mode. I show you this here in a minute. This is basically game changer for me
[00:04:36] Because I had always trouble with the positioning of this thing here
[00:04:40] So we can say you're the top position at top and stick so let's remove this here for a moment and you can see
[00:04:46] This is still at the top, but bitwig is below
[00:04:51] Below the application so you can't see the top of bitwig, right? We can move this here around
[00:04:57] We can maybe
[00:04:59] Can I resize this yeah, we can resize this right something like this, but there was never a real place on my screen where I could
[00:05:08] Put this and still use bitwig easily after a third screen a small little screen where I can put this
[00:05:16] But then you don't see it on my recording right?
[00:05:19] Or on my OBS recording so here what you can do now is we can say instead of moving this around and putting in this in
[00:05:27] some kind of regular places or
[00:05:29] Crazy places we can use your reposition and say position at the top and then we can say stick
[00:05:37] so now we can see
[00:05:39] Bitwig is basically below
[00:05:41] Which means also when you make the window smaller here, right?
[00:05:45] Go into window mode and
[00:05:48] Then we say we want to maximize this window right and it maximizes below
[00:05:55] Yeah, the mini meters application so it thinks this is actually the full screen
[00:05:59] I don't know what kind of magic they use there to code this
[00:06:03] Maybe this is exclusive to windows
[00:06:06] But it works really well. So also you're when I open up the browser right now make makes it maximized here the browser
[00:06:13] You can see it's still below the application. So it's like you have like
[00:06:17] Two screens in one screen more less and bitwig things or windows things. This is here actually the full screen
[00:06:25] Really dope to have
[00:06:27] So, yeah, this is the stick mode for me at least a very good game changer
[00:06:33] I will probably use this application a lot more just because of this. There are also your presets
[00:06:40] for
[00:06:42] customizations, so you
[00:06:44] Can customize this in any shape or form and then you just save it as a preset. So yeah, there's a default preset called default quad and
[00:06:54] I just saved this here and now it looks like here
[00:06:57] What's the name vision X from Noisia?
[00:07:01] This kind of tool that are also used a lot and here. It's the same configurations. We have a spectrum here
[00:07:08] We have a waveform display here a
[00:07:10] spectrum analyzer here and
[00:07:12] Stereometer so also notes here. Look at this. So it's very nice
[00:07:19] all around
[00:07:22] Kind of visualizer that you can use in any shape or form has also full screen here nice
[00:07:27] Everything is there settings. We can define or customize basically everything
[00:07:34] From how it looks like how long the fall time of certain of these things are
[00:07:40] different color maps here
[00:07:42] So you can really customize everything. It's a very nice
[00:07:49] customizable plug-in for very small price. I actually want just want to give you more or less here an update to this
[00:07:55] Let me switch here to the
[00:07:57] Horizontal layout back to this. Yeah, this is much better
[00:08:01] So here this is the recording right because we can just record stuff
[00:08:06] For a moment
[00:08:09] With this, but I have no idea how to drag it out. Actually, I haven't I haven't tried this yet
[00:08:15] Maybe you have to look in the hub. I just download this. I have no idea how to capture
[00:08:19] Show show 60 second clip button
[00:08:24] Clip to 60 seconds. Oh
[00:08:28] You can just drag this out. Okay, this is how it works. Nice. So we have the last 60 seconds here as a wife form
[00:08:36] Super dope
[00:08:38] So with this I probably don't even need to
[00:08:42] Use what's the name rolling sampler quick sampler from birds, which is also a nice plug-in
[00:08:48] But here I have it's everything in just one plug-in more or less
[00:08:52] Show
[00:08:57] Copy last 60 second clip copy last 10 second clip. Let's do this. I can go here hit control and be
[00:09:04] Nice. So this also works very neatly
[00:09:07] So yeah, this is the update for
[00:09:12] Minimeters I think it's a really great, but again, maybe try out a demo version. There is actually no I look or anything like this
[00:09:19] There's no luck in you just paid 20 bucks and then you have it
[00:09:22] Maybe try out a demo beforehand
[00:09:25] but
[00:09:26] Yeah, I
[00:09:28] Think it's a great great update
[00:09:30] Is there anything else I want to talk about probably not that's probably it so
[00:09:37] link is in the description below if you want to try it out and
[00:09:41] Leave a like
[00:09:43] Leave maybe a comment. Let me know what you think about it. Do you use it? Actually, do you use it already?
[00:09:48] How do you like the update and also subscribe to the channel? Thanks for watching. See you next time and bye
[00:09:55] I look you can even resize it nice
[00:10:09] But we still thinks this is the full screen, right? Yeah dope
[00:10:13] Maybe you have to reconfigure this here, can I actually
[00:10:24] Spectrograms we can move this to the left
[00:10:31] I
[00:10:33] Can't resize these two here seems like
[00:10:54] Yeah, really dope. I really like it. I love it actually
[00:11:22] Thanks for watching. See you in the next video. Bye.
