The Meters tab lets you control many of Alloy's meters.

Input/Output |
|
|
Enable meter |
Turns on or off the level meters |
|
Show peak hold |
Turns on or off the peak hold display for the level meters |
|
Type |
Allows you to set the type of metering used for Alloy's I/O meters. Options include RMS, Peak and RMS+Peak. |
|
Scale |
For RMS, Peak, and RMS+Peak you can choose between dB (linear) and dB (non-linear). |
|
Peak hold time |
If peak hold is on, clicking this button allows you to cycle through different peak hold times. The choices are 5 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 1000 ms, 5000 ms, and infinite. If set to infinite, the peak value will be held until you double click on the meter. |
|
Integration time |
This setting only applies if the level meter is set to RMS. It lets you specify the integration time for the RMS calculation. In most RMS meters, the integration time is set to around 300 msec. |
|
Readout |
Allows you to control what is displayed by the numeric display on top of the meters: peak or actual (real time). If set to "Max Peak", the display will reflect the meter's highest peak value encountered during processing. If set to "Current", the display will reflect the meter's current value of the level. If there are two levels displayed (Peak+RMS), we read the RMS value. |

Global |
|
|
Gain reduction meter |
Turns on or off the gain reduction meter. |
|
Dynamics |
|
|
Curve level meter |
Allows you to turn on or off the dynamics curve level meter, displaying the compression and gating/expansion curve of your dynamics module. |
|
Source |
Sets whether the dynamics curve meter will display the input level as its going into the Gate/Expander or the input level as its going into the Compressor. By default, these two processes are processed one after the other, and as such, depending on your settings for either, the input levels will be different. |
|
Maximizer |
|
|
Enable histogram |
Turns on or off the level histogram meter. |
