Display/Colors
Set the grid/foreground and background colors here, as well as RMS, peak colors, and
limit value colors.
Bold: Makes lines that appear in the "Oscilloscope" mode appear thicker.
Various color presets are also available for selection.
Reset (all)
This function resets all displays of open visualizations.
Device
If several audio devices are available, this option lets you determine which device should be
visualized. If, for example, you are mixing 4 submix busses, which are each routed to a
different device, you can visualize each bus individually.
Open new visualization
This function opens a new visualization window. In every window you can make individual
settings.
Hint: An additional visualization window for the input signal will open when the recording
dialog is opened. This window can be configured just like any other visualization windows.
Load/save setup:
If custom presets have been saved in the available "fx-presets" directory, then these will be
available under "Load setup / Save settings". Various presets are also provided, for
example the k-metering settings K-12, K-14, and K-20.
K-metering
In the visualization area, there are a number of presets for the K-metering system. The
presets supplied use the new options in order to implement metering according to K-12,
K-14 and K-20 norms. Uniform reference volumes on different media can be achieved
especially when mastering under normalized listening conditions. The peakhold display
continues to show signal peaks and can be used to avoid clipping.
The "k-system" refers to the metering system developed by Bob Katz which has become
the standard for monitoring audio signals when mastering. K-system metering enables
uniform calibration and monitoring. You can use it to easily exchange audio material
between different studios and have matching monitoring results. With regard to k-system
metering, it's not so much the loudness, but rather the musical dynamics that take center
stage. Setting the level to 0 dB sets the reference volume which no longer matches the
maximum level, as often used to be the case.
