How to change scale on the meters -- they seem locked to +3dB digital scale

Hi Magnus, I agree that it would have been nice if we could apply the different scale to the mixconsole but that does not seem to be a functionality in the current version of Cubase. But… you can redesign the +3db scale to match, e.g., K-20.

You can see in the metering appearance how I have done this: to account for both the K-20 and K-14 metering. In Control Room I selected the K-20 scale. In addition, I show the Waves VU and Dorrough meters. It all matches quite well.

If I send in -20db of pink noise then the Control Room meter peaks at about 0db with an RMS of about -10 corresponding to the VU readout. The Dourrough meter also peaks at -20db with RMS showing at about -30db. The mixconsol meter shows about -20db (innter scale) when setting the fader to 0. The only think I don’t understand is why the outer/inner scale of the mixconsol meters do not line up??

Perhaps better to leave out the K-14 in the redefinition of the +3db Scale.
