Reset All Meters If a track clips, its meter shows a red clipping indicator.
Click this button to reset the clipping indicator to its non-
clipping state.
Peak Choosing this option causes the meter to display the
highest amplitude in the signal that occurs in a complete
cycle of a frequency.
RMS Choosing this option causes the meter to display more of
an average of the amplitudes that occur in a complete
cycle of a frequency. RMS, or Root-Mean-Square, is a little
over seventy percent of peak level.
Peak + RMS Choosing this option causes the meter to display both the
RMS and peak levels. The RMS level is displayed by the
solid bar on the left side of the meter, and the peak level is
displayed as a small line that follows the RMS level just to
the right of it.
