Show Peak Hold
Turns on or off the peak hold display for the level meters
Type
Allows you to set the type of metering used for Nectar 's I/O
meters. Options include RMS, Peak and RMS+Peak.
Scale
For RMS, Peak, and RMS+Peak you can choose between
dB (linear) and dB (non-linear).
Peak Hold Time
(ms)
If peak hold is on, this allows you to cycle through different
peak hold times. The choices are 5 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms,
1000 ms, 5000 ms, and infinite. If set to infinite, the peak
value(s) will be held until you single click on the peak value
readout.
Integration Time
This setting only applies if the level meter is set to RMS. It
lets you specify the integration time for the RMS calculation.
In most RMS meters, the integration time is set to around 300
msec.
Readout
Allows you to control what is displayed by the numeric dis-
play on top of the meters: peak or actual (real time). If set to
"Max Peak", the display will reflect the meter's highest peak
value encountered during processing. If set to "Current", the
display will reflect the meter's current value of the level. If
there are two levels displayed (Peak+RMS), we read the
RMS value.
Gain When
Bypassed
When Nectar is on there are many modules such as the multi-
band dynamics and limiter that can affect the overall or per-
ceived level of the mix. This makes it very hard to compare
"Nectar on" to "Nectar bypassed".
"Gain when bypassed" solves this problem. You can bypass
Alloy and set this gain so that when you A/B Nectar on and
off the apparent volume is the same. This is the only pro-
cessing that is applied when Nectar is bypassed, and it is of
course only applied when Nectar is bypassed.
