feat: add professional gradient to level meters matching dB scale
Replaced solid color blocks with smooth gradient to match professional audio metering standards and dB scale mapping. The Problem: - Hard color transitions (green/yellow/red) looked jarring - Didn't match professional DAW aesthetics - Color didn't reflect actual dB values visually The Solution: - Implemented CSS linear gradient across meter bar - Gradient matches dB scale breakpoints: * Green: 0-70% (-60dB to -18dB) - Safe zone * Yellow: 70-90% (-18dB to -6dB) - Getting hot * Red: 90-100% (-6dB to 0dB) - Very loud/clipping Gradient Details: Horizontal: linear-gradient(to right, ...) Vertical: linear-gradient(to top, ...) Color stops: 0%: rgb(34, 197, 94) - Green start 70%: rgb(34, 197, 94) - Green hold 85%: rgb(234, 179, 8) - Yellow transition 100%: rgb(239, 68, 68) - Red peak Visual Behavior: - Smooth color transition as levels increase - Green dominates safe zone (-60dB to -18dB) - Yellow appears in warning zone (-18dB to -6dB) - Red shows critical/clipping zone (-6dB to 0dB) - Matches Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live style Benefits: ✅ Professional appearance matching industry DAWs ✅ Smooth visual feedback instead of jarring transitions ✅ Colors accurately represent dB ranges ✅ Better user experience for mixing/mastering ✅ Gradient visible even at low levels 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
