3.5. The lower toolbar
When you are changing a parameter, you will see a readout showing the value or state
of whatever control you are modifying at the left-hand side of the lower toolbar. It will
also display the current value of a parameter when you place the mouse pointer over that
parameter control in the control panel. This is handy, because you don’t need to touch the
parameter control to read the current value.
At the right-hand side of the lower toolbar are several small windows and buttons. These
are very important features, so let’s take a closer look at them.
3.5.1. VU Calibration
The 1973-Pre has two VU meters (one when in Single Channel mode) at the top-right of the
control panel. By clicking this button, we can access a menu where we can calibrate their
response. By default, they are calibrated for -18dBFs but we can change this to -14dBFs or
-8dBFs.
3.5.2. Bypass
This one is obvious. Activating the bypass option will disable 1973-Pre processing.
3.5.3. CPU meter
The CPU meter is used to monitor how much of your computer’s CPU is being used by the
plug-in. If you stress your computer too much, the global performance of your system and
the audio may suffer.
