<p>Hi Autery</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It sounds like you have cracked the system, but just in case you
missed the importance of the shift-alt-p command. You need to use
that to select the track you want to monitor. Having done that, I
then use alt-f8 to reset peaks, play the segment I want to check
and then use alt-f9 and alt-f10 to check peaks on the track. You
are right, you won't get a true reading without playing the audio
(smile).</p>

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