The L.E.D.-displays or V.U.-meters of Virtual DJ do response by using the Gain to adjust the incoming-level. But they don't response on the outgoing-level by the faders.
Is it possible to set the L.E.D.-displays or V.U.-meters so that they do show the outgoing level and response on the faders ? By choice then the incoming or outgoing level could be selected or displayed.
(With a real mixer the PFL-fuction offer this possibility.)
(ps This question is already on another forum too, but I was adviced to also ask it on this forum)

/me thinks it's not possible yet.

This is so you know the "True" VU of the track. If it was affected by the slider, it would show nothing before you mix it in, meaning you could not match the VU to the track your currently playing.

Hi
By now I think it's not fair to compare the VU-meters of Virtual DJ with the one's of a real (professional) mixer (no matter what kind of VU-meter or skin is used with Virtual DJ).
I'll try to explain why I do think so, and will try to describe my question better by using an example.
Maybe it's easier to take a look first at what exacly is or can be shown by the VU-meter of a mixer.
Let's take, for example, a 4 mono-channel mixer, each channel with Gain, each channel with PFL, 1 (separated) Left-Right Master-output, and just 1 LED-meter (as usual, one LED for the left-channel and one LED for the right-channel.)
When the Master-output is set a 0 db, usually the LED-display will show what is done by the faders.
As long as all faders are closed and the Master-level is set at 0 db, normally nothing is displayed by the LED-display.
If, for example, a playing CD-player is connected to channel-1 of the mixer, then switching to the PFL-function of channel-1 can offer two features. Besides just checking the input without opening it's fader, at that same moment the LED-display actually also can show the input-level.
So when the input somehow is peaking too much it can be adjusted with the Gain. That will take care of it that the input is not overmodulated, as that would also affect the output (by faders).
Overmodulation(effects) of the signal itself will not be taken away, of course. So it's clear that the level of the input is very important for the quality of the output.
Things of course would work a little different if each channel of the mixer (used as the example) also has it's own VU-meter (things depends on the kind of mixer).
The "True " VU of an audio-signal itself usually is represented best by the VU-meters of the playback-device itself (if available). So the less the signal passes-by any other equipment or feature the better it will be represented.
Till now I have understand that the described possibilities are not yet available for Virtual DJ. But this conclusion might've been based on my earlier and more poorer description.
For now I hope I didn't get too technical, and that I made myself more clearer. And of course for if it's not correct what I wrote: please let me know and do correct me.
