right on man! i hope we do to! if things like this had ben fixt i would have probably upgraded to 5 myself. but with the same old problems plus not beeing able to scrub i'm glad i stuck it out with 4. some of this stuff is just crazy not beeing able to scrub? man, come on! but then i will probably not ever upgrade to 6 either. with all the hassle jaws givs you with the internet lysonsing and so on its just not worth it. its hard to get some one on the phone over there who knows what the hell you are talking about! things didnt allways bee like this. i mean come on, i'm running a computer strickly for audio, i have custamers who expect there files to bee there whin they come back to record and for my p c to work like it should! so no freadom scientiffic i wont put this sucker online. oh..well.. i'm just one person so what does it matter in this case. it just seems like the audio guy gets screwed by sonar, and the blind person gets the same from freadom scientiffic. all i can sey is either there is some magic words to make the audio meaders work that i dont know, or they just plane suck! i'm guessing that its the latter. folks who can play there own instraments are the ones who loos here. but what can ya do? just work with midi i guess.

Sometimes I can't decide which. Let us know if they are reading correctly for you? Do they make sense, I've almost given up on meters because sometimes they don't give me levels that are incongruent to what I'm hearing. Examples, a vocal that is loud should not be at minus 80. I don't know much, but minus 80 should be barely audible. Now to make things more confusing, that same minus 80, on the next day will give me a range between minus 10 and minus 2, which is more in line with what I hear. Hopefully we'll get better meter reading in Sonar 6.

The lock peak was not clicked. Thanks very much, everything works properly now. Guess it pays to read the manual once in a while!

Go through Section 26 in the CT manual. It'll help. You might have to do some of the procedures a couple of times. But mostly you have to make sure that four things are checked in each meter submenu.

Has anybody had success in reliably reading the peak audio meters in CT 5? Just installed version 5.1 and thought that this would fix the problem, but it didn't! Sometimes it works, but most of the time I get a message to the effect that no audio has been recorded! Is this only happening to me? Jean Please visit my Web site at: www.studiomontebello.com
