[Rwp] trying to understand osara and the meters function

[James Teh]

A few things to check:
1. Was the track armed? It needs to be armed for input to affect the meters.
2. In the Peak Watcher dialog, what did you set "Hold peaks" to? As 
noted in the documentation, if you set it to 0 (which is the default), 
it will hold peaks forever. So, if the level hits 0dB and you then turn 
the gain down, it will "hold" at 0dB. Note that if the level hits -3dB 
and then -2dB, it will go up to -2dB, since -2dB is the new peak. You 
can disable or shorten the time for this holding functionality in the 
Peak Watcher dialog.
