Peak markers
Buses and audio tracks have a feature called Peak Markers. A Peak Marker in each audio track or
bus moves along in the Clips pane just behind the Now Time cursor displaying the highest peak
found during playback. Peak Markers appear in two different colors: one color if the peak is below 0
dB, and a different color if the peak is above 0dB. By default, peaks below 0dB will be green, and
peaks above 0dB will be red. Colors for both Peak Markers and their text fields are configurable in
Edit > Preferences > Customization - Colors.
