  You can monitor indivisual track output meter, but those indivisual track 
gets added up and sent to a bus, so the bus input level would be different at 
the end.
  Bus input is sum of track outputs. Even if no track goes above 0db, the bus 
input can go above 0.

  That is not true with the buses though.  Frankly, you should just monitor the 
track inputs for whatever you are recording at the time.

    When your track is armed, it is the input meter.  When it is not, it is the 
playback meter.

      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
