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. Gord ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean A.

When it is not, it is the playback meter. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chi Kim To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 6:19 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Reading Bus Input 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
