Double VUWhen this button is lit, the peak meter switches to VU characteristics, thus enabling you to run 2 VU-meters withdifferent settings at the same time.Level MarkWhen this button is lit, a mark at your desired “nominal” level (set in the Scale Tab), will be displayed as a gray bar.When the input signal exceeds the mark level, the bar will become light green.Timing Tab SettingsThese parameters are accessed by clicking onto the Timing Tab at the right side of the settings pane (see also pictureabove).Peak integrationThis parameter adjusts the integration time of the peak meter for rising levels measured in milliseconds.VU integrationThis is the integration time of the VU meter for rising levels measured in milliseconds.Peak ReleaseThis is the speed at which the peak meter falls, when the level is decreasing, expressed in dB’s per second.VU ReleaseThis is the speed at which the VU meter falls, when the level is decreasing, expressed in dB’s per second.Dyn ReleaseThis is the fall time of the dynamics display. It is expressed in dB’s per second.Max Level Hold TimeThe highest segment reached will remain lit for a specified time after the level decreases, making it easy to seewhat the maximum level was. This parameter adjusts the length of time the segment remains illuminated.Alignment Tab SettingsThe alignment parameters affect the scale of the peak and VU meter. They are accessed by clicking the Align Tab.VU RefVu-Meter Controls Align TabEffects and Plug-Ins : Mastering Peak/Vu Meters 13 - 237
