Peak and Overload Hold TimeSets the amount of time in seconds that the peak segment or overload segment (topmost red segment) of thelevel meter remains illuminated.Permanent OverloadWhen the box is checked, the red Overload LED above a track will remain lit, even after playback is stopped. Toclear the LED, double-click it. When not checked, the Overload LED will automatically clear itself after a few secondsand remain off until the next overload occurrence.Note: The overload LED will go on after one sample with the maximum level.Permanent PeakThis parameter works in conjunction with the Peak Level Display. When this is on (checked), the Peak Level pop-updisplay will show the value and location of the highest level reached on a track up to the time when the mousewas clicked on the meter. The level display will not be updated until the next time playback is stopped and restarted.If it is not on (unchecked), the Peak Level Popup Display will show the highest level reached in that trackfrom the last time the Popup Display is activated (while playback continues). For example, clicking a channel’smeter while playing back will display the Peak Level Popup, which will show the peak level (and its location)reached so far. Click away from the Popup, and it will disappear. Click on that meter again, and the Popup willappear again, this time showing the peak level/location reached since the last time the Popup was displayed.Decay integration timeThis parameter sets the rate at which the level meter display decays after the level falls below the most recentpeak. The slope of the decay is given in terms of milliseconds per decibel (ms/dB).Peak level indicatorShow AfterWhen the box is checked, the Fader/Input Level displays located above the faders on each mixer strip display thepeak level of the signal running through the corresponding mixer strip. The value are updated at the interval setby the slider below the check box. If the check box Show After is off, the Fader/Input Level displays always showthe setting of their corresponding fader.DSD Peak FilterFor DSD projects this drop-down list offers the choice between two filtering options which will be applied to theDSD signal before it is measured by the level meter.This will help enable you to ensure that the DSD signal is compatible with the AES recommendations concerningthe high frequency dither noise content.20kApplies a 20 kHz low pass filter to the signal, thus only the audible audio content is measured.40k-100kApplies a band pass filter with a frequency range of 40 kHz to 100kHz to the signal. According to the AES recommendationthe signal level in this frequency range should not exceed -20 dB.Settings : Mixer 27 - 514
