Changed level meter display to show professional dB values instead
of percentages, and replaced volume icon with gauge icon.
Display Changes:
- Show dB values (-60 to 0) instead of percentage (0-100%)
- Use monospace font for consistent digit alignment
- Show "-∞" for silence (level = 0) instead of "-60"
- Rounded to nearest integer dB (no decimals for cleaner display)
Icon Updates:
- Replaced Volume2 icon with Gauge icon for playback levels
- Kept Mic icon for recording input levels
- Gauge better represents metering/measurement vs audio control
dB Conversion:
- Formula: dB = (normalized * 60) - 60
- Reverse of: normalized = (dB + 60) / 60
- Range: -60dB (silence) to 0dB (full scale)
Display Examples:
0.00 (0%) = -∞ (silence)
0.17 (17%) = -50dB (very quiet)
0.50 (50%) = -30dB (moderate)
0.83 (83%) = -10dB (loud)
1.00 (100%) = 0dB (full scale)
Benefits:
✅ Professional dB notation matching industry standards
✅ Clearer for audio engineers and musicians
✅ Easier to identify levels relative to 0dBFS
✅ Gauge icon better conveys "measurement"
✅ Monospace font prevents number jumping
Now meters show "-18" instead of "70%" making it immediately
clear where you are in the dynamic range.
