GAH... I totally forgot about that. I just looked at my RNC and
you're right :-P It has an LED meter like so:
+----- gain reduction ------+
20 16 12 8 6 4 2 0
* * * * * * * *
I could swear I remember seeing an old tube compressor that
had a gain reduction meter with "more" to the right, so it
moved in opposition to the corresponding VU meter.
No idea what model it was, and this was about 6 years ago
so I could be mistaken.
I wonder how consistent this is in the world of hardware?
maybe I'll pop a question on rec.audio.pro.

Heh, non-controversial you say ;)
One convention is that reduction meters got right to left (and presumably
top to bottom, though I dont think I've never seen a vertical one). Last Tuesday 24 August 2004 20:10, Lee Revell was

Here's one that I suppose is non-controversial:
Meters and Data Plots
Vertical meters should be oriented such that upward movement represents
increase in the metered value and down represents decrease.
