Reading Gain Reduction parameter from hosted VST3 plugin

Audio Plugins
1

Hi guys, I am currently looking for a way to read out the Gain Reduction parameter from a hosted VST3 plugin for my custom plugin host. I want to get a functionality similar to Reaper, where you can select Gain Reduction under Meters and then it shows in the track view. Is this possible with JUCE 9?

P.S.: I already tried without success

  • looking for hidden parameters, even inside the VST3Client
  • querying the PreSonus Extensions for PreSonus::IGainReductionInfo
  • looking for hidden function pointers inside the VST3Client Steinberg::Vst::IParameterFunctionName

I´m out of ideas. Would be very happy about any more ideas you guys have, or also even an info that it is currently impossible

For anyone reading this in the future, I had success following the infos from this page:

https://support.solidstatelogic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/26329849372317-SSL-360-Link-How-3rd-Party-Plug-ins-can-send-Gain-Reduction-Metering-Data-to-UC1#ssl-360-link-how-3rd-party-plug-ins-can-send-gain-reduction-metering-data-to-uc1-0-0

Apparently, the header I used for the Presonus Extensions before was incorrect, but on the SSL page there is a link to the correct one.
