Downloads, Setup & Installation

The Meter Bridge and Meter Bridge Pro Configuration saves the Massive Meter unique identifier for each system that is connected. This allows the Massive Meter Bridge to monitor the network and find previously connected Massive Meters in a Pro Tools system. All Mini Meter, Massive Meter, and Massive Meter Pro plugins are automatically found and displayed as part of the Configuration.

The Meter Bridge Pro Template is a file format that saves the information about which Massive Meter or Massive Meter Pro host (Pro Tools or other DAW) as well as the specific plugins to display. The Template saves various information such as Linked and Grouped plugins such that it is easy to save and restore settings for the specific system. When using a Template, the name of the system in the Template must match the name of the Pro Tools system in the Massive Meter settings — capitalization and spaces included. Plugin names and channel formats need to match between the Template and Pro Tools Session too, so the Meter Bridge Pro can automatically find and connect the meters.

In Massive Meter settings (click the gear icon in the top right), you can name your Pro Tools or DAW system. This setting is stored in a settings file in the macOS user Preferences folder.

Yes, by clicking on the meter name in the plugin to reveal a popup to change the name, or in the settings under the Plugin tab.

A separate application that communicates with Pro Tools to get information such as record, solo, and mute information and plugin order. It launches automatically when a Massive Meter plugin is instantiated.
