Using the Channel Strip Level Meters

Each channel strip includes level meters to the left of its volume fader. You can use
the level meters to observe each channel strip’s level as the project plays. The level
meters range from –96 dB to +6 dB, moving from bottom to top as the level
increases. The segments of the level meters run from green through yellow to orange
as the level increases.

Note: For surround signals, the channel strip meters show the signals in this order: Ls,
L, C, R, Rs, LFE. This matches the surround order in the Meters tab. (See “

Setting the

Overall Project Volume Level

” on page 288 for more information.)
