Configuring the Console
The Console view can be reconÞgured in a variety of ways. You can:
¥ Choose the modules that you want to see
¥ Adjust the display of audio meters and clip indicators
¥ Change the number of aux busses
¥ Choose between balance or pan controls on aux busses and main
outputs
¥ Set control snap-to positions
¥ Insert new tracks
¥ Name tracks and aux busses
Meters are helpful in determining the relative volumes of your audio
tracks and in detecting and preventing overload. By default, the Console
view displays output level meters in Main output modules at all times,
and displays record level meters in individual tracks whenever they are
armed and have an audio input source. The display of meters, however,
can place a considerable load on your computer. Showing only the peak
indicators, or hiding the meters entirely, can reduce the load on your
computer. This may increase the number of audio tracks and real-time
effects you can play back at one time.
There are three options you can access from the Options-Audio
command that affect the layout and operation of the Console view. First,
Pro Audio lets you control the number of aux busses that appear in the
Console view. If you are not planning to make use of any aux busses, you
can reduce this number to zero to save space and make the Console view
more compact.
