If i understand you correctly, i think youre overthinking it. Just put a grid as a matte above each bar graph blocking out the discrete units.  I dont see why you couldnt do this with audio to keyframe data. Or trapcode soundkeys

I need to create a VU style meter with 6 discrete levels. 
I looked at the Audio Spectrum and Audio Waveform effects, but neither of those come close.
I searched Goole and found a few examples that use the Audio Amplitude assistant, but that just wiggles the matte which creates thin slivers of meter instead of discrete chunks. 
Is there a way to posterise to absolute values the scale/volume or whatever property would be needed to control the visibility of the matted layer?
