Hosi Metering Toolset is a professional and comprehensive audio monitoring (metering) system for the REAPER software. It allows you to monitor signal levels (RMS, Peak), detect clipping, and analyze audio from various tracks in your project, all centralized in one place.

This toolset is not just a single plugin but an ecosystem of multiple components working together to create an efficient workflow:

1. "Sender" Plugin (hmeterztx.jsfx): You insert this plugin on the tracks you need to monitor. It captures the signal information and sends it out.
2. "Controller" Plugin (hmeterz.jsfx): This is the heart of the system. You only need to insert it on a single monitor track. It receives data from all "senders" and provides a detailed display interface with a signal history graph and many advanced customizations.
3. Management Script (Manage hmeterzTX): Helps you automatically add, configure, or remove "sender" plugins in bulk, saving a significant amount of setup time.
4. "Meter Bridge" Script (Meter Bridge): Creates a window that displays meters for all channels from various groups, simulating professional mixing consoles. This gives you a comprehensive overview of your entire project.
5. "Problem Dashboard" Script (Problem Dashboard): Automatically scans and lists tracks that are experiencing issues (e.g., clipping), allowing you to quickly navigate to and address them.

Key Strengths of the Toolset:

• Centralized Monitoring: Instead of opening a plugin on each track, you can view all important signal levels in one or two windows.
• Efficiency and Automation: Automatically assign groups by track name and auto-detect issues, helping you focus on mixing rather than repetitive technical tasks.
• In-depth Analysis: Provides powerful tools like Dynamic Range (DR) monitoring, stereo balance analysis, and signal history review.
• Flexibility: You can use the entire system or just the original hmeterz plugin, depending on your needs.

In summary, Hosi Metering Toolset is a powerful metering solution that transforms REAPER into a more professional working environment, helping you control audio quality intuitively and effectively.
