These two parameters adjust the level of the A and B points.
Scale parameters
These alignment parameters affect the rulers of the peak and the VU meter and also the dB range of
the display. They are accessed by clicking the Scale Tab.
Rulers Max
This sets the maximum level of the range displayed by the peak meter. Usually you would set this to 0
dBFs, such that a digital full scale level would reach exactly the top of the scale. But since Pyramix uses
Floating Point arithmetic, you might theoretically have signal levels above 0 dBFs, so it may be useful to
be able to display them (of course, at the output of the mixer, such a signal has to be converted back to
an integer number, and would cause digital clipping, so care should be taken with signals at these lev-
els).
Rulers Min
This sets the minimum level of the range displayed by the peak meter, and thus influences the accuracy
and the resolution of the peak and VU meter. Signals lower than the minimum are not visible on the
meter.
Height
This modifies the height (in pixels) of the VU meter plug-in window as it is displayed on the screen.
DSD Filtering options
In the specific case of a DSD session the VU meter offers three filtering options which allow you to
make sure that your DSD signal is compatible to the AES recommendations concerning the high fre-
quency dither noise content. These radio buttons let you choose one of three possible filters which will
be applied to the DSD signal before it is measured by the level meter.
The 20k option applies a 20 kHz low pass filter to the signal, thus only the audible audio content is mea-
sured.
