[ddots-l] Re: Found Solution To Reading Bus Input Meter

Hmm, what happens if you press ctrl+f2 once or twice?

  Well, it doesn't work here!
  That plus the triple s, triple a and triple m which don't work either!!!
  I have notified Dancing dots about 3 months ago but haven't heard anything 
yet.

    yep, that's what I did. Ctrl+f2 or double ctrl+f2 then left click to show 
meter option. It works.

      Hey Chee!
      Does the "Control F2" key combo work for you?
      Here it brings me to dialog that says "click something behaveour".

        I missed the tutorial message that says left clicking after ctrl+f2 
will show meter option.
          Basically, I guess I can read how hard I'm driving the bus by setting 
the bus meter to pre fader.

            Ah, I think I found the answer from the  article called "Sonar: 
Metering options explained" from Sound on Sound. It says:
            In the case of the Buss meters, there's an additional option, as 
they can read the pre-fader/pre-effects signal, the pre-fader/post-effects 
signal, or the post-fader signal (which, as mentioned, reflects whatever the 
effects are doing). Why is this level of detail provided? Because busses often 
include 'send' effects such as reverb. As multiple signals may feed a buss, if 
an overload is occurring you need to know if it is due to excessive signal 
levels hitting the buss or simply a problem with an effect. (You can't simply 
monitor post-fader, because busses with send effects can sometimes have a 
fairly low output and you wouldn't 'see' any distortion.)

            Meter option seems to be on the toolbar, how can I access with ct?
