3rd party meter
When using a 3rd party meter is it best to us it on a master fader on the mix buss or an aux track muted? I have been told to put it on forst plug in on a mix buss,, use a master fader and then recently someone said use an aux instead of a master fader to measure your peaks etc?

There's nothing wrong with Pro Tools meters, they have been recently expanded to cover a lot of standards. That way you have one on each channel and a different one on the Master without extra CPU load. It doesn't get any better than that.

Re: 3rd party meter
Right. And that should be the very last plug-in in the session.

Many of us use separate output, mix and print channels so the master track can be used for this type of meters as it always stands last in the chain.

Re: 3rd party meter
True. There are always several ways to do something, if you have time you can try all and decide what works for you, if you don't then you stick with whatever you hear works for someone else (preferably a teacher or a famous mixer) and use it as a starting point to develop your own way.
