Levels Section
This indicator let you track input, output, and
gain reduction levels, as well as work with phase
invert and the threshold setting.
Input and Output Meters
The Input and Output meters show peak signal
levels before and after dynamics processing:
Green Indicates nominal levels.
Yellow Indicates pre-clipping levels, starting at
–6 dB below full scale.
Red Indicates full scale levels (clipping).
The clip indicators at the top of the Output
meters indicate clipping at the input or output
stage of the plug-in. Clip indicators can be
cleared by clicking the indicator.
Toggling Multichannel Input and Output Meters
With multichannel track types LCRS and
higher, both Input Level and Output Level
meters cannot be shown at the same time. Click
either the Input or Output Meter button to dis-
play the appropriate level meter. The Input/Out-
put level meters display is toggled to Output by
default.
