Monitoring audio levels
While you’re recording, a responsive meter is provided in the track header to monitor the incoming signal level of the selected
recording device. It is important that you record with the highest signal possible without clipping.
A reading of 0 dB is the maximum for a digital signal. Clipping occurs when the incoming signal is too high to be represented as a
digital value. The result is distortion in the recording. A clipped signal will be indicated by a red Clip warning at the end of the
meters.
Right-click the meters and choose a command from the shortcut menu to adjust the display of the meters.
