If you market a product as being able to do loudness monitoring, then those values should be seen lest the function is useless.
If you modify your product to show more information at the expense of the above then the above is void whenever that condition is in effect. It’s thus either or.
The original poster is right in his criticism (if factually correct), and I am correct in that the design is flawed for that reason. It’s a very simple choice to make regarding the design of the feature; vertical or horizontal, and what are the effects of either.
The basic problem is that the redesign of the CR GUI was dumb. Rather than enhance Cubendo capability by adding the CR “pane” to the traditional mixer view they got rid of the latter at the expense of the former, which to my knowledge not a single user has asked for. They left a traditional, intuitive, internally consistent view of a mixer (which is what the CR is) in favour of this. Not a single person has been able to explain exactly what was gained by that, assuming for a second that less flexibility for viewing and more clicking is not a benefit to the user.
