Greetings: Is there a software "VU" meter for a Sound Blaster sound card?

In other words: If I connect a mike or any other input device to the mic jack or line in jack - how do I know what level to send?

I have the *limits* and can control the level with AUMIX, but WHAT is the proper level?

Worked my entire life in Sound Recording - analog of course - but this digital stuff seems *different*.. <grin>

TIA,

What would be most helpful is to know what XWindows package you're using (Gnome, KDE, etc) and what distro you're using.

In reply to Hal MacArgle

Greetings: Sorry for lack of details but I was hoping, tongue in cheek, that there may be a curses version not requiring a GUI.. (aumix and workbone run CLI of course.)

Anyway am using Slackware 7.1 and moving toward Slackware 8.0, with fvwm2 window manager in both cases if absolutely needed.. I was brought up with CLI and my eyes prefer it. <grin>

Thanks - appreciate..
Hal
