Meterbridge is a compact view of all meters in a session. It is designed
|
||
|
|
to assist for large recording sessions, particularly live recording where
|
||
|
|
the amount of mics is too large to get a good overview of the entire session
|
||
|
|
in either the <kbd class="window">Mixer</kbd> or the
|
||
|
|
<kbd class="window">Recorder</kbd> window.

By default, the Meterbridge window displays a meter per each track with
|
||
|
|
the track's name at the bottom and allows resetting the meter's peak
|
||
|
|
as well as arm a track for recording.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Each meter has a right-click menu to select the type of the meter.
|
||
|
|
Just like in the mixer channel view, tracks and regular audio busses default
|
||
|
|
to <kbd class="option">Peak (+6 dBFS)</kbd> and the master bus defaults
|
||
|
|
to <kbd class="option">K14 (RMS)</kbd>. It's also possible to set the same
|
||
|
|
meter type to all same-type tracks.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Additionally, it's possible to select the height of the track name panel
|
||
|
|
by right-clicking above it and selecting one of the options going from
|
||
|
|
Short to Venti (which is a coffee cup size reference).
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Just like in the usual mixer channel view,
|
||
|
|
the <kbd class="button">Arm for Recording</kbd> button has a right-click
|
||
|
|
menu to enable rec-safe mode to avoid accidental recording to a track
|
||
|
|
of choice.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The set of readily available controls can be customized per each session
|
||
|
|
on the <kbd class="window">Meterbridge</kbd> page of the
|
||
|
|
<kbd class="window">Session Properties</kbd> dialog.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Additional controls include:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Mute button</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Solo button</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Monitor buttons</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fader as a gain knob</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
It's also possible to toggle visibility of MIDI tracks, busses,
|
||
|
|
and the master bus.
