Chapter 6 Working in the Mixer 133

Using the Channel Strip Level Meters

Each channel strip includes stereo level meters to the right of its volume fader. You can

use the level meters to observe each channel strip’s level as the project plays. The level

meters range from –96 dB to 0 dB, moving from bottom to top as the level increases.

The segments of the level meters run from green through yellow to orange as the level

increases.

At the top of each set of level meters is a peak indicator. As the project plays, the value

in decibels of the highest level reached appears in the peak indicator. If the level rises

above 0 dB, the peak indicator becomes red and shows the value 0 (zero). The values

shown in each peak indicator remain until you play the project again, close the project,

or reset the peak indicator.

To reset a peak indicator:

m Click the peak indicator.

To reset all peak indicators, do one of the following:

m Option-click the peak indicator in any channel.

m Click the Reset button in the Meters tab of the Utility window.

The peak indicators can help identify where clipping occurs in the project. For

information about removing clipping, see “Setting the Overall Project Volume Level” on

page 138.
