Default Help! Metering issue....
FYI: my tech bumped my OX to 10.9.3 without asking... Seems fine, but...

My preamps and faders when tracking on PT were totally calibrated (without me having to do anything). If it clipped on the preamp, it redlined on the onscreen fader. Kosher.

Now, suddenly, the faders are reading a LOT hotter than the preamps. I'm redlining on the fader at much lower levels.

He didn't touch the hardware, and I can't seem to figure out why suddenly, the calibration is completely off. Is there some adjustment screen I'm missing somewhere that messes with the fader calibration?

No there is not. The closest thing would be right-clicking the area directly to the right of the meters and selecting different ballistics.

perhaps this is something to do with 'Pre Fader Metering' option being checked?
