Default Big HUGE fat (wide) meters
Hey,

Best trick I've even gotten is making the meters in PT nice and fat (or phat for the hip hoppers).

Simply use the CLAW (hold all 3 buttons left of the space bar) and click any meter in the mixer window and BOOM they fill the whole channel!

Love it, so much easier to use!

I forgot about this trick, thanks! It should really be a toggle in the menu or prefs, not a hidden feature

Hopefully has implemented skins or at least allow more control over color. Getting tired of looking at Grey or dark grey all the time. I am talking total color change...

But you're aware of track colors?

The fat meters trick will also work from the edit window as well. I love it!
