• If this option is activated, audio tracks show the metering signal from
the input bus to which they are routed as soon as the track is monitor-
enabled. Note that the tracks are mirroring the input bus signal, that is,
you will see the same signal in both places. When using mapped metering,
any functions, such as trimming, that you apply to the audio track are not
reflected in its meters.
• If this option is not activated, metering works as usual.
Meters’ Peak Hold Time
This allows you to specify for how long the peak levels are held in the meters. For
this to work, deactivate Meters - Hold Forever in the MixConsole.
Meters’ Fallback
This allows you to specify how quickly the meters in the MixConsole return to
lower values after signal peaks.
Metering - Appearance
On this page you can assign colors to level meter values to quickly identify what levels
are reached. You can adjust the colors for the channel meter or the master meter. For the
master meter you can only make changes for the Digital Scale scaling mode. Changes take
effect when you click Apply or OK.
To adjust the levels and colors, activate the channel meter or master meter option and
proceed as follows:
• To specify the level for a color change, double-click a handle to the right of the meter
scale and enter the level (dB) value. Note that for dB values less than 0, you must add
a minus sign before the entered number. You can also click a handle and drag it to a
specific level. Press Shift for more accurate positioning. Alternatively, you can nudge
with the Up Arrow/Down Arrow keys. Press Shift for faster positioning.
• To assign a color, click the upper or lower part of a handle, and use the color selector
pane to select a color. Selecting the same color for the upper and lower part of the
handle results in a meter that changes its colors gradually, while different colors
indicate level changes even more precisely.
• To add more color handles, click Add, or Alt-click at a level position to the right of the
meter scale. Each new handle is automatically associated with a default color.
• To remove a handle, select the handle and click Remove, or Ctrl/Cmd-click the handle.
