My meters changed
Hello all,
I'm using Pro tools 12.5 and it used to be that my track meters showed the output level of that track. Now, they're showing the input level or something and I can't see how much I'm pushing out. I've right clicked on the tracks to try the different meters and nothing works. Can someone help? Thanks, Mike |

Re: My meters changed
Try Options>Turn OFF Pre-Fader Metering.

Re: My meters changed
Just keep a few things in mind:
1-if you are NOT metering pre-fade, then you don't know what your actual recording levels are(so you might be clipping the converter going in, but not see it). 2-balancing things by ear is better in most cases. The only time I meter post-fader is; if I am mixing many tracks that are very similar sounds(like all vocals, or all strings). YMMV and I have nothing to gain either way, but in 14 years of Pro Tools, I have used post-fade monitoring maybe 3-4 times(though others may work the exact opposite of my methods)

Re: My meters changed
Another thing to remember is that plug-ins on audio tracks are PRE-fader, so any Volume Automation you do will not be reflected in the signal going through the plug-ins. (Clip Gain and AudioSuite Gain do affect the signal going through the plug-ins.) Standard practice is to bus the audio to an Aux track and put your plug-ins there. Also a good way to use common plug-ins and their same settings on multiple tracks.
