further to my other posts, I'd find it very useful to have the LEQ SPL visible on the RTA display alongside the short term SPL, so I can monitor my current loudness, my overall loudness, and my current frequency spectrum at all times on a single display. it's great that we have a configurable LEQ meter (most apps only give you LEQ since you pressed "start" and not LEQ over a rolling time frame - being able to set LEQ 15 minutes was the selling point for this app for me!) but slightly annoying that I have to bring up the menu and switch pages to see it

Hi James,

Thanks for these useful suggestions.

1) The peak frequency detection setting should indeed persist in the user's settings between runs: I'll make that change for the next release.
2) For the A weighting, if enabled this is done at a very early stage of the sample processing, and affects everything else following. Switching between A and flat is just a couple of button taps. But I can see if it's possible to always provide an A weighted SPL in parallel with whatever weighting the user has selected.
3) The realtime Leq is shown in the Mic display (in magenta, lower left corner) as well as the SPL (in white, middle screen). Is that not what you're looking for?

After some poking around, I realised where this magenta Leq is - it's in the input display. I turned off this display as I find it quite distracting, and would prefer to keep it turned off. Doing this moves the SPL to the main display, but not the LEQ, so it would be nice to move the LEQ up there as well

I appreciate it's only a couple of buttons to switch displays/weightings/etc but ideally I like to keep the buttons and the input display turned off and just have the mic display with the SPL readings on it, full screen, and never have to touch it once it's set up
