Setting up Meter Colors

Setting up meter colors can help you to keep an overview of what levels are being reached.

1. In the Preferences dialog, select Metering > Appearance.

   

2. Do one of the following:

   • Click Channel Meter to make settings for the channel meter.

   • Click Master Meter to make settings for the master meter.

3. Do one of the following to set the level position for a color change:

   • Double-click a level position to the right of the meter scale and enter the level (dB) value. To enter dB values smaller than zero, add a minus sign before the entered number.

   • Click a level position and drag it to a specific level, and press Shift for more accurate positioning.

   • Click a level position and nudge it up or down with the Up Arrow/Down Arrow keys, and press Shift for faster positioning.

4. Click the upper or lower part of a color handle so that a frame is shown, and in the color picker, select a color.

   Selecting the same color for the upper and lower part of the handle results in a meter that changes its colors gradually. Different colors indicate level changes even more precisely.

   Note

   • To add more color handles, click Add, or Alt-click at a level position to the right of the meter scale. Each new handle is automatically associated with a default color.

   • To remove a handle, select the handle and click Remove, or Ctrl/Cmd-click the handle.

5. Click OK.
