you can always bypass the effects bin when checking it.

  It's not going to work when there's a limiter on the bus which makes the 
output level below 0 always.

    just an idea, set the bus output to 0 and read the  output meter, that 
should be the same as the input as long as you didn't make any change to the 
signal.
    i believe sonar  does not show metering for the bus input though i may be 
wrong.

      Thanks Phil,

      That'd be quite a work switching back and forth and turning on and off 
the limiter.
      Can you ask david to implement ways to read both peak and RMS meters for 
input and output? Those are essential in audio production! I'd really 
appreciate it.
      Also, we should have a way to read output meter even if the track is 
armed.

      Chi

        In which case, turn the limiter off.  That will give you a clearer idea 
of how hard your driving the metres on a bus.  Alternatively, look at 
alternative scripts which give you access to Sonar's VU metres.  That way you 
may get an idea of how hard your driving the metres E.G, the RMS level that 
your hitting the bus at.  Finally, if the compressor that your using has 
metering fully implemented, read off the various metres such as the gain 
reduction metre in the compressor.  The Sonitus compressor has full metering 
implemented.

          CT reports bus output meter, but is there way to read bus input meter 
to see how hard I'm driving the bus? If there's a limiter on a bus, I won't 
know if I'm clipping the bus or not since the output meter will be always below 
0.
          Thanks,

          Chi
