Since N-11 changing the metering appearance doesnt work anymore. Every update I hope it does but still no green light there. The problem seems to have appeared since we can select different presets. Since my system is connected to a large analogue console switching my meters to K-12 or k-14 levels would work verey nice with the nominal gain settings on my console. It is not a big issue but it would be helpfull if this problem was solved. Anyone out there with the same issue or, even better, a solution?
What you mean with this?
There is a settings page with just the meters… you can give them the colors you like…
The channel meters are not able to use K metering.
Metering appearance is to be found in: Edit/Preferences/Metering/Appearance
What I mean is that changing to a default (or adding a self made appearance) and saving it does not work. I am able to change the appearrance into any preset ore user config I want but clicking at apply (or okay) does not change the way my meters look. This used to be working in N-10. It is fairly straight forwatd. There is not su much you can or cannot do… So I suggest that it is a bug but since it is never solved in any update I start to doubt a little. Still I can’t think of anything else but a bug. everything works like a charm and all other options in the preference menu as well as all color cheme options fully work.
I am running Nuendo proffesionally from off version 4…
That’s very strange…
I can change the different views within the master fader itself. Since I work with 48 outputs I use the master fader only when mastering or when I mix stuff ‘in the box’. It was possible to change the view of the channel faders up unitll N-10. Even then…why would you want to change the view in preferences when you can simply change that inside the master fader itself? Up until N-10 the preferences allways changed all the channel faders. It makes perfect sense to be able to change this. particularly when working with lots off tracks preserving headroom or when your tracks are connected to analogue gear…
Since your welcome reply (all of this settings apply to the master meter first
(only the setting for the “+3dB Digital” affects the channel meter) I was able to change the meter view myself and safe it. I never guessed that this was only possible in the +3 digital… It still doesnt make much sense to me (happy though I am that I was at least able again to change te view). It would be very much appriciated if I could simply use the presets for all channel faders and I still don’t get why they are to be found in preferences, but okay…thanks anyway!
It seems indeed that discussing this subject amongst meter friends does not much… I would not know how to report it in such a way that it gets picked up by the Steinberg team.
Love the program (mostly), work with it off from V4 already, tried to suggest a few things before but no reply, no changes, no thank you. I’m working with it professionaly and would expect a bit more but unfortunately no response…
They keep coming up with bells and whisstles but tend to forget the basics. These days the internet is full off topics on headroom, k-scales, analogue preferred output and so on. Simply changing a meter setting can make a huge difference, specially amongst the less experienced producers.
I changed the view myself however and stopt bothering.
ha, you are right, the scaling within the level meter is still there - i just looked. But even when decreasing resolution on a macbook pro 16" to half it is still TINY and unreadable. Maybe it’s an issue with high res displays? Compared to the rest of the interface, those numbers are mini! Am I doing it wrong?
and as for the metering options: all the options are only affecting the master meter. for the channel meters, there is only 1 option: “+3dB Digital”.
