AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You can monitor the input levels of audio tracks, that is, you can map the input bus metering
to monitor-enabled audio tracks and watch the input levels of your audio tracks when
working in the Project window.
Select File> Preferences> Metering and activate Map Input Bus Metering to Audio
Track (in Direct Monitoring).
As the tracks are mirroring the input bus signal you will see the same signal in both
places. When using mapped metering, any functions that you apply to the audio track
are not reflected in its meters.
NOTE
When using Steinberg hardware (MR816 series) in combination with ASIO Direct Monitoring,
monitoring will be virtually latency-free. If you are using RME Audio Hammerfall DSP audio
hardware, make sure that the pan law is set to -3
dB in the card’s preferences.
