yep, that's what I did. Ctrl+f2 or double ctrl+f2 then left click to show meter 
option. It works.

  Hey Chee!
  Does the "Control F2" key combo work for you?
  Here it brings me to dialog that says "click something behaveour".

    I missed the tutorial message that says left clicking after ctrl+f2 will 
show meter option.
      Basically, I guess I can read how hard I'm driving the bus by setting the 
bus meter to pre fader.

        Ah, I think I found the answer from the  article called "Sonar: 
Metering options explained" from Sound on Sound. It says:
        In the case of the Buss meters, there's an additional option, as they 
can read the pre-fader/pre-effects signal, the pre-fader/post-effects signal, 
or the post-fader signal (which, as mentioned, reflects whatever the effects 
are doing). Why is this level of detail provided? Because busses often include 
'send' effects such as reverb. As multiple signals may feed a buss, if an 
overload is occurring you need to know if it is due to excessive signal levels 
hitting the buss or simply a problem with an effect. (You can't simply monitor 
post-fader, because busses with send effects can sometimes have a fairly low 
output and you wouldn't 'see' any distortion.)

        Meter option seems to be on the toolbar, how can I access with ct?
