Metering in Pro Tools
HI Guys,
i was working in Protols with a mate who uses Cakewalk, and he was complaining that the meters do not actualy show like a normal LED Meter, with increments, of what the DB is. He Said pro tools is crap, and i should us Cakewalk. But i love protools. Can protools have LED Meter, with increments Also when i start a new session, it has +12, or +6 db, what is the difference thansk for any help jimbob

Re: Metering in Pro Tools
12 dB gives you more monitoring headroom and is therefor easier to use if you have some tracks you really have to boost.
The amount of dB can always be found in numbers below your fader. Don't let that 'friend' influence you. The ppl who hate pro tools are often the ones who haven't worked with it very often; |

Well, anyone that says Cakewalk is better than ProTools shouldn't really be taken too seriously, so you've got little to fret about.
