System information
To choose an output device, click the Output button and choose a bus or hardware output from the menu.
When you route busses to hardware outputs, the outputs from those busses will not be included in the
mix when you render your project.
Monitoring bus levels with VU/PPM meters
When the VU Meters control region is visible, you can display volume unit (VU) and peak program (PPM)
meters to help you determine the perceived loudness of your audio signal (peak program meters provide
faster response times to volume increases than VU meters).
To show or hide the VU Meters control region, click the VU Meters button in the View Controls pane.
Right-click the meter and choose a setting from the shortcut menu (or hover over the meter and roll your
mouse wheel) to change the resolution and display options. For more information, see "Monitor track levels
with VU/PPM meters" on page 358.
Monitoring bus levels with peak meters
When the Meters control region is visible, each bus displays meters you can use to monitor output levels.
To show or hide the Meters control region, click the Meters button in the View Controls pane.
