The dropdown menus give you the following display options:
Menu option... What it does...
Peak Choosing this option causes the meter to display the highest
amplitude in the signal that occurs in a complete cycle of a
frequency.
RMS Choosing this option causes the meter to display more of an
average of the amplitudes that occur in a complete cycle of a
frequency. RMS, or Root-Mean-Square, is a little over seventy per
cent of peak level.
Peak + RMS Choosing this option causes the meter to display both the RMS
and peak levels. The RMS level is displayed by the solid bar on
the left side of the meter, and the peak level is displayed as a
small line that follows the RMS level just to the right of it.
Pre Fader/Post Fader (This
option is for playback and
bus meters only)
Choose Pre Fader or Post Fader to measure the playback level
either before or after the track’s or bus’ volume fader.
Pre Fader/Post FX (This
option is for the buses only)
Choose Pre Fader/Post FX to measure the bus volume before the
fader, but after any real-time effects.
-12 dB....-90 dB Choosing one of these numbers sets the scale of the meter to a
certain range of dB. For example, choosing -90 dB sets the range
of measurement of that meter to 90 dB.
Note: You can also change the scale of a meter by right-clicking
the meter to display a popup menu and choosing a new dB range.
Show Labels Clicking this option hides or shows the dB markings on the meter.
Hiding the markings shrinks the meter significantly, saving space.
Hold Peaks Choosing this option causes the meter to display a small vertical
line (the peak marker) that shows the peak level and then decays
until a new peak is reached.
Lock Peaks Choosing this option causes the meter to lock the peak marker at
the highest level, until a higher level occurs.
