Surround Scope Plug-In
The Surround Scope plug-in provides a 360° me-
ter for metering multichannel paths during mix-
ing.

All 5.1-format meters (including those displayed
in the Surround Scope meter, on tracks, and in
Output windows and their Path Meter Views)

To use the Surround Scope Plug-In:
On a multichannel Master Fader, click an In-
sert button and select Multichannel TDM plug-in >

copied, and pasted from the Edit window.
