how to set the meters?

[lamacchiacosta]

Hello,

I'm back using PT after I left for few years.
I would like to know how can I set and change the color level on the meters.
At the moment it seems it turns yellow in between -10 and -16 (-13?) but I would like to set this to turn at -20.
I haven't found anything in the Preferences.
Is there any other place I should look at to find it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Its not a preference unfortunately! look at some of the optional plugin meters like Waves loudness meter WLM or even the included Digirack phasescope has basic metering which can be adjusted.

How sad is that?

Not sad at all... I would hate to have sessions open with various meter levels changed from one recording to another. Talk about confusing an engineer... I guess If you were the only one working on it and every session was set the same I could see the benefit of having the option.

That's why we need the missing option.
