Hi Robin,
Please do you have a link for the ProTools with Speech tutorials you
mentioned in your message?
Best,
Peter

Hi Slau,
thanks a lot for your great response!
You were absolutely right, my clip and peak hold settings were set to
„infinite“.
I made the adjustments you suggested and now everything appears to be working
as expected, so many thanks for that!
I don’t recall explicitly changing those settings myself, but there’s a chance
that I may have done this while following the Pro Tools with Speech tutorials a
while back. Anyways everything seems to be great now, many thanks!
Best regards,
Robin

Hi Robin,
If I'm understanding this correctly, you're saying that the level changes
periodically but essentially reaches a peak of -15. Now, if your preferences
are set to have an infinite peak hold, that all makes sense. In other words,
the value would change, in this case, getting incrementally higher until the
highest peak is reached. I personally keep the peak hold at 3 seconds and only
use the peak display to keep track of highest attained peaks. In the Peak
section of the Metering tab of the Preferences dialog, the clip and peak
indicator radio buttons are in two columns. I don't recall which is on the left
and which is on the right but, at any rate, make sure clip is infinite and I'd
suggest peak to be set at 3 seconds.
With that setting, your level meter will eventually go down to nothing or a
very low value when there's no signal passing through the track.
Hope that helps,
Slau

Hi all,
I haven’t touched PT in a while due to lack of time, but now I want to get back
on track with it and improve my skills and overall knowledge of PT.
So, I downloaded and installed PT 12.4 on my Mac, everything seems to work just
fine. However, I’ve noticed an odd issue in the Mix window when it comes to
reading level meters.
I first noticed this when I was recording input from a mic. I armed the mic and
checked the level meter, the DB value was changing just as expected. At some
point I blew into the microphone in an attempt to make it clip on purpose. I
then noticed that the value changed to -15, that’s where it then actually
stayed. Even with absolutely no noise on that channel the level stayed at -15.
At this point, I decided to press VO space on the level value, at which point
it started changing again, up until it stopped once again at around -5DB. I’ve
also observed this issue in a PT session, where the level of the master fader
would be updated during playback but stop at some point (this doesn’t always
happen at the same spot in the recording but at different times). Pressing VO
space on it gets it going again for a while, but that would never last longer
than a minute or 2.
Has anybody else discovered this issue? I was browsing the list archives and
discovered that another person had a similar issue, which was caused by a
floating window being in the way. However, I made sure to check that there are
no floating windows in the way, the „Hide all floating windows“ in the PT menu
bar is actually dimmed. So, are there any other known solutions to fix this
problem?
Many thanks for any help!
Best regards,
Robin
