What the Meters Measure
The following table summarizes what each kind of meter measures:
Hiding and Showing Meters
The display and configuration of the meters in the Track view is independent of
the meters in the Console view, and vice versa. Buttons in the Track view and
Console view toolbars hide or show all the meters of each kind in each view. To
show or hide meters on individual tracks or buses, use the right-click popup menu
that’s available from the title bar of each track or bus.
Note: If you want to conserve the maximum amount of your CPU’s resources, turn
off all metering in both the Track and Console views.
To Show or Hide all Record Meters
• In the Console view, click the Show Meters button. This button hides or shows
all the meters in the Console view.
• In the Track view, click the arrow to the right of the Show/Hide Meters button
and select Record Meters from the menu that appears.
