Cameron,
Wow! that's very cool, had no idea such things existed. Do they actually work?
Been using my ears on all my anolog gear to set things, but no matter how I
try, when my wife and kids check the analog meters for me, frustratingly, the
input/out put meters are always on the lowside.
BTW, great tip regarding recording levels/headroom in 24 gbit. Pushing things
to close to zero is a comman mistake that many of the old-school sighted and
ex-sighted dudes like me have made when switching to digital... now know better
for sure.

Hi. you could use a light probe or a color detector perhaps? It'd depend on
the type of level meter; how it gives people a sighted representation of the
levels being hit when you put something through it.
Keep in mind though that if you're working at 24 bit, you don't need to track
really hot. You should track with less input gain so you won't risk digital
clipping.
Even if you are using a tube channel strip, you can get the tube saturation
you want on that, and then bring down the level of the output before it goes
into your daw.

Hello folks,
I am thinking about purchasing a channel strip, is there a way using jaws to
read the meters on the channel strip? I can see the way of doing this in
sonar, but I am not sure it would work. How do people like us read the meters
when setting levels on annalog preamps... anyone who does this for a living
have any thoughts or suggestions? Yhanks,
Brian
