Live's lousy in/out metering
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 6:42 pm
So this is becoming more of a problem for me now that I am creating mixes in live rather than DP5. The meters for track outputs and inputs sux-I'm supposed to monitor my inputs/outputs clipping on these tiny meters on the right side of the tracks (in arrangement view)? I suppose I could switch over to session view, but those meters aren't much bigger, and I would like to see the arrangement & its associated automation whilst recording playback.
Is there a way to make the audio meters bigger? For clarity's sake, here's my setup:
For my "songs", I usually have 8-10 stereo audio tracks. I mix "outside the box", so I usually have 5 stereo tracks out to my mixer and sum whatever needs to be summed in order to get these 8-10 stereo tracks to 4-5 outputs. That being said, I usually monitor the outputs of each track to make sure they're not clipping, as well as the input from the mixer to make sure my stereo mix isn't clipping. Trying to monitor 8-10 outputs plus my master input just sux on these tiny meters.
Any ideas?
