Metering

Mixing

Enabling mono on a bus/Main will affect upstream meters

If you make a bus or main out mono by toggling its Mono/Stereo switch, any “upstream” meters—

that is, meters on any tracks or buses that are assigned to the mono bus/main out—from the bus/

main out will also display as mono.

Hiding and Showing Meters

Segmented and Non-segmented Meters

You can display meters as segmented (the default) or non-segmented meters. Non-segmented

meters have the advantage of taking up less room in a track strip.

A. segmented meter B. non-segmented meter

The Audio Meter Settings dialog (Options > Audio Meter Settings command) lets you choose

segmented or non-segmented meters for the Track and/or Console views.

Hold Peaks Choosing this option causes the meter to display a small vertical line (the

peak marker) that shows the peak level and then decays until a new peak is

reached.

Lock Peaks Choosing this option causes the meter to lock the peak marker at the

highest level, until a higher level occurs.

Note: This only affects the meter display, not any audio that is bounced or exported.
