<p>It's worth bearing in mind that control k and control shift k are
prefade and pre-fx because they deal with item rather than take or
track volume so may not give you accurate readings of what's being
output to your master. <br>

<p>Hope this helps, <br>

<p>Hi Autery</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Having been wrestling with levels for the past few days, I am
not an expert and others may add to and/or correct what follows.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My understanding is that when you press j or k you get the
level at exactly the point when you hit the key. You only need
to be a few milliseconds off to be well below the peak. On the
other hand, pressing alt-f9 and alt-f10 for channel 1 and
channel 2 respectively of the track selected with shift-alt-p
will give you the peak since resetting with alt-f8. You can
choose to have peaks held for less time if you wish.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Justin's response came in while I was writing this and doing
some testing to check that I wasn't writing complete rubbish.
Yes, shift-j and shift-k give the master level, but if I am
correct it is still reading the level as you hit the key.
Especially for the soundscape stuff that I like doing, finding
the peak for the track is most important. To that end, the SWS
facility ctrl-k takes you to the peak for the current item,
which is great. The other SWS facility I find useful is
shift-ctrl-k for getting stats on maximum db and RMS levels.</p>

<p>It sounds like you should be trusting your ears (smile).</p>
