Where do I look at those settings?  I didn't change any priority settings, so whatever Foobar2000's default settings are, that's what it's set to. 

 My foobar2000 encoder settings are:- %d -F18000 -HF2 -V85 -X2

I have lossy selected, multi threading is enabled, 24 bit is selected.

I also agree, but 2 years have passed away without any changes in SMP. I feel SMP x64 is a long way from being done. 

I feel that this is a bit offtopic, but I'll bite :)
As you can see here, there are quite a few "changes": https://github.com/TheQwertiest/foo_spider_monkey_panel/compare/master...feature/v2

Not much in the way of new releases though, that's true.

Since we now have the ability to see "RMS" as text maybe it would be useful to also see "Peaks" as text. And to go further also "Peaks - RMS" - but what would that value be "equivalent" (sort of) of: momentary/short term DR (from the infamous plugin), momentary/short term PLR/PSR, momentary/short term LUFS, momentary/short term LRA or something else?
Isn't that already available in the modern Loudness Peakmeter plugin?

I thought that it should be easy to also display the text version of Peak inside the graph (let's say beside the text RMS values)
I'm not a fan of that because it will cause too much text to be drawn over the gauge. The current position of the text was decided by my laziness to write the code to give it it's own client area.

Sorry @case but I'm not going to take your word for it. Removing the division causes all the test files from SOS to have a dBFS reading that is 3dB higher than their expected result. Even the tone://997 reference is wrong.
It's not my word, that's the very definition of RMS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square#Definition.
You calculate the sum of values squared, divide by the number of values and take square root of that.
And removing the last division does not increase the result, I don't understand why you claim that. It causes the file labeled -20 dB to show -23 dB RMS, or -20 dB with the +3 mode enabled. And tone:// test is -3.0 dB / 0.0 dB.
Again, I'm not an expert but isn't the confusion centered around dB and dbFS? Also, the mathematical RMS definition seems to get obfuscated by the audio world understanding of RMS.

If tone://997 is a pure 997Hz sine wave that is used as reference point of dBFS (the zero point), then shouldn't that show up with a 0 *dBFS* reading?

If a test file is published as -20dbFS, shouldn't that be rendered at -20dBFS?

If you want a *dB* reading and rendering, activate the RMS+3 toggle.

I'm having trouble making any progress with this. 'in.flac' does not play in foobar with the following error message:
Code: [Select]
Unrecoverable playback error: Unsupported stream format: 11025 Hz / 24-bit / 1 channels (0x4)
Yet, if I look at the Properties in foobar, it specifies 16 bit! I can encode the flac file with any of the oggenc2 variants (Windows 10 Pro x64) and the same situation exists - same error message, but properties appear correct. Decoding the flac to wav doesn't help either. Any ideas, anyone?

@Wombat  - I appreciate you sharing your compile with the forum, but alas, your version, like John's version, slows my system down to a crawl, and the system hangs and becomes very slow to respond to input.  CPU utilization registers about 50% or less.

When I try @Case version he kindly uploaded for me, it encodes at about 1,000x real time, where as your version encodes about 250x and slower (with the system slow down and hangs).

I tried both the regular x64 version and the fast math x64 version, same results...
I'm really not sure what the issue is.

It is there but Peak Meter (from vis...plugin) comsumes less power and is smaller on the screen and does not require the whole drawing of those readings.
Istead what we already have is graphic Peak (which I started to use instead of a built-in one), graphic RMS (which is VU meter if I understood your earlier discussion properly), text RMS (inside the graphic RMS) so I thought that it should be easy to also display the text version of Peak inside the graph (let's say beside the text RMS values). And if we have those two it should be easy to display the difference between them (but because I am not an expert I am not shure what value would it represent (LUFS/PLR (or rather PSR)/LRS/DR or something different). Just a suggestion - we would not have to use two components but one.

@pqyt - as for specs and documentation - I am sorry but someone with more knowledge that I have should help here. All Iknow comes from Wiki and other such places.
