Where to get itIncluded with Logic Pro. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.apple.com

Level Meter is a metering plugin for Logic Pro that displays signal levels on a decibel scale with color-coded visual feedback. The plugin represents signal levels as blue bars for normal operation, yellow bars for signals approaching 0 dB, and red bars for levels exceeding 0 dB, with independent channels shown for stereo and surround configurations. It provides both graphical and numerical peak level display with customizable metering modes and target level monitoring.
