Cubase metering
In Cubase, for the meters in the mixer view, there are two numbers
with each meter. The one at the bottom I know it is the fader setting, but the top one I'm not too sure if it is average or peak (or something else?). Another related question - I realize I can reset it to -infinity by changing the fader, but is there another way to reset it? Seems like even for the newer Cubase 4 / Studio doesn't have any numeric marking besides the meters (other than the master). I find this really useful (I think cakewalk has) and I don't understand why they don't put it in as an option. Maybe you guys can explain to me 'why I do not need the numeric marking'? Ernest |

Well, why do you? How would numbers help? |

Click on the clip light or change the gain to reset it. peace dawg |

Well, why do you? How would numbers help? I use it as a visual cue to help me remember roughly what level a track is at (average/peak) and with the number in mind, compare with another track. Isn't it the purpose of the meter? Without the numeric markings, I basically have to remember the relative position of the markings. |

No, the purpose of a meter (at least those meters) is to tell you that you're recording at the proper level. For that, they're very important. After that, you could turn them off. Your ears are supposed to tell you what level it is compared to another track. But who am I to suggest that you change your way of working. If "visual" mixing works for you, good enough. |
