Metering

Metering is a critical part of the production process. Studio One’s meters visually display audio levels according to your

choice of metering style, and you can meter these levels at various stages in the signal path. Peak meters can be found on

every Channel in the Console except the Output Channels, which appropriately feature a more informative Peak/RMS

meter with K-System Metering options.

Peak Meters

Peak meters measure the instantaneous audio level from moment to moment at a very fast resolution and display the

highest output level at any instant. These meters help ascertain the relationship between a given audio level and other

audio levels in the mix. Many effects plug-ins feature peak meters at the input and output so that any level attenuation the

effect imparts on the audio signal can be seen.

[Right]/[Ctrl]-click on a peak meter to adjust its VU Hold and Hold Length settings.

The peak meters in Studio One automatically display in mono or stereo depending on the audio source.

Peak/RMS Meters

The Main Out and Sub Out Channels feature Peak/RMS meters, which simultaneously show both peak and RMS levels.

Whereas a peak meter shows the highest output level at any instant, an RMS meter shows an average of the peaks and

troughs of an audio signal over time. An RMS meter is intended to indicate the perceived loudness of the audio being

measured by functioning in a way similar to the human ear and is therefore often used as a true measure of perceived

loudness.

Main Out Clip Counter

The Main Out Channel features a Clip Counter above its Peak/RMS meter.
