For audio channels, the volume fader controls the volume of the channel before it is routed
to an output bus, directly or via a group channel. For output channels the volume fader
controls the master output level of all audio channels that are routed to an output bus. For
MIDI channels the volume fader controls the volume changes in the MixConsole by sending
out MIDI volume messages to the connected instruments that are set to respond to MIDI
messages.
Global Meter Setting
You can change the meter characteristics for audio channels using the context menu of the
channel meter.
Right-click the channel meter and select one of the following options from the Global Meter
Settings menu:
Meter Peak Options - Hold Peaks
The highest registered levels are held and shown as static horizontal lines in the
meter.
Meter Peak Options - Hold Forever
If this option is activated, the peak levels are shown until you reset the meters.
If this option is deactivated, you can use the Meters’ Peak Hold Time parameter
(File> Preferences> Metering) to specify for how long the peak levels are held.
The peak hold time can be between 500 and 30000
ms.
Meter Position - Input
If this option is activated, the meters show input levels for all audio channels and
input/output channels. The input meters are post input gain.
Meter Position - Post-Fader
If this option is activated, the meters show post-fader levels.
Meter Position - Post-Panner
If this option is activated, the meters show post-fader levels and also reflect pan
settings.
Reset Meters
Resets the meters.
Level Meters
The channel meters show the level when you play back audio or MIDI. The Meter Peak Level
indicator shows the highest registered level.
•
To reset the peak level, click the Meter Peak Level value.
NOTE
Input and output channels have clipping indicators. When they light up, lower the gain or the
levels until the indicator is no longer lit.
