Because vu meters only give you an idea of the average amplitude over a
fairly long time, and say nothing about peaks, so there no good for

possibly useful.
Hands up all those who record to multitrack analogue tape ;) I know a VU meter in a PCM system is about as
much use as an underwater
hairdryer
