Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Reference 94
Input Meter
The input meter displays the signal level of the channel after UAD
plug-in processing in the inserts. Depending on the state of the
METERING option in the Display panel within the Console Settings
window, (either pre-fader or post-fader), this meter will display the
level going into the monitor mix bus (post-fader/post-inserts), or the
level at the channel’s hardware input (pre-fader/post inserts).
Tip: When recording into a DAW, it’s typically best to keep
metering set to pre-fader so they accurately represent the signal
level at the DAW inputs.
Input Level Scale
The numerical labels represent digital signal levels. “0” represents 0 dBFS (digital full
scale, the maximum level before undesirable A/D clipping). If the level at the Apollo
input exceeds 0 dBFS, the meter’s clip indicator illuminates. If clipping occurs, reduce
the preamp gain, the output level of the device feeding the input, or the output gain(s) of
UAD plug-in processing in the inserts.
Peak Hold
The input meters also have a peak hold feature, which holds signal peak values for a
specified period of time. The clip and peak hold times can be adjusted in the Display
panel within the Console Settings window.
