You can adjust the volume of several busses simultaneously by selecting the busses and adjusting any of their
faders. If you select an assignable effect along with the busses, the output fader of the assignable effect moves
along with the bus volume faders.
Changing bus meter resolution
You can select a meter resolution at which a bus displays the signal levels that are being mixed. When you
change the meter resolution on this control, the other meters (assignable effects and preview) automatically
change to match.
To change bus meter resolution, right-click a meter and choose a meter resolution from the shortcut menu.
Adjusting a bus for clipping
If the volume level is set too high, it may cause clipping. The clipping displays in red at the top of the meter
with the clipping value displayed in decibels (dB). Adjust the fader and click the red clipping value to reset
the meter. Continue to adjust the fader and reset the meter until you eliminate the clipping.
You can set the meter to remember and display the highest and lowest levels by right-clicking and selecting
Hold Peaks and Hold Valleys.
