Variables in Aud.ini
Variable Type Default Value What it does
MeterFrameSizeMS=
<10-200>
Integer 40 Meters in SONAR show peak (or RMS) values at a
given instant in time. The actual peak value
displayed by a meter is the highest peak recorded
in an interval of time referred to as a "Meter
Frame." The default size for a meter frame is 40
milliseconds, which is an accuracy of 25 FPS. The
MeterFrameSizeMS variable allows you to
change the size of this interval. It goes in the
[Wave] section. For example:
[Wave]
MeterFramSizeMS=40
Setting this value to a lower value will make the
meters record peak info for smaller time slices.
However this can also increase the metering CPU
and memory cost.
Note: although SONAR doesn’t enforce a fixed
value range, the recommended range should be
between 10 and 200 milliseconds.
PicCacheMB=<size in MB> Integer 20 This variable specifies the maximum size of the
picture cache. The picture cache is located in the
directory specified by the PictureDir=<path>
variable (defaults to <Cakewalk
Folder>\Picture Cache).
PictureDir=<drive:path name> Path <Cakewalk
directory>\Picture
Cache
This line specifies where to store the picture
cache.
