Variables in AUD.ini
Variable Type Default Value What it does
MeterFrameSizeMS=
<10-200>
Integer 40 Meters in SONAR show peak (or RMS) values at a
given instant in time. The actual peak value displayed
by a meter is the highest peak recorded in an interval of
time referred to as a “Meter Frame.” The default size for
a meter frame is 40 milliseconds, which is an accuracy
of 25 FPS. The MeterFrameSizeMS variable allows
you to change the size of this interval. It goes in the
[Wave] section. For example:
[Wave]
MeterFramSizeMS=40
Setting this value to a lower value will make the meters
record peak info for smaller time slices. However this
can also increase the metering CPU and memory cost.
Note: although SONAR doesn’t enforce a fixed value
range, the recommended range should be between 10
and 200 milliseconds.
PicCacheMB=<size in MB> Integer 20 This variable specifies the maximum size of the picture
cache. The picture cache is located in the directory
specified by the PictureDir=<path> variable
(defaults to <Cakewalk Folder>\Picture Cache).
PictureDir=<drive:path name> Path <Cakewalk
directory>\Picture
Cache
This line specifies where to store the picture cache.
