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.

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
