What are the "Best" Meter Settings for Audio Mastering and Reference? | PreSonus

The project page is a powerful section in Studio One for mastering or to simply get an overview of how songs compare to other songs of an album. Although it's always encouraged to use your ears, keeping an eye on meters is a great way to objectively measure certain aspects of your project.
So, what are the absolute BEST meter settings? Well, like most things with audio, there's no such thing as "best" meter settings for everyone. The best settings will always be what helps you achieve the result you're seeking. Lucky for you, Studio One has many options.
In this tutorial, PreSonus Product Specialist Joe Gilder discusses the different meter settings and shares which are his favorites.

great video! Can you do one explaining what levels we should be aiming for and how to get there with a limiter....or how hot(level) a mix should before bringing it into the project page. Thanks

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)

Fast Fourier transform

[@johnbevilacqua6751]

HI, as someone already pointed out, FFT stands for Fast Fourier Transform and using the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) converts the analog, time based audio into a frequency distribution curve that you see on the screen. Love yours and Gregors work - keep it up. Cheers, John from Down Under.

I’m ready to try this with my current project. I don’t know if I’ll understand everything it tells me, but next week I’m going to sit with the engineer who’s going to master my song, so it might be helpful to get a start on 5his. He’ll use Pro Tools and I use Studio One, so I’ll have that variable as well. It’s a learning process.

It's always good to see what you are hearing. I have used a third octave analyzer since the 1980's for live sound, and things go really quickly to dial things in, particularly with onstage monitors that feedback, so I can grab the CORRECT frequencies without guessing. Just like in the studio for sure. Thank you for your information. I hope that people will listen to your words of advice. 👀👩‍🦳

Thanks, Joe. another helpful tutorial!

Thanks Joe. I can use this 🙂

[@ELLIOT8209]

Why can't we have rms/peak meters on each channel like PT?

[@presonus]

If you right click on the meter in the mix window, you can select Peak/RMS!

[@VirginHolyFire]

I use the level meter plugin on every track in a mix to gain stage. Because your signal can be clipping and you wouldn’t know otherwise. It also has a tiny phase meter too and is super cpu friendly🙂👍

Hi PreSonus, is it possible you add % swing same as is in Cubase where you select audio events, then select timing and then can quickly quantize swing by 1% on the fly seeing results instantly and not only by 10% like we have now, because it's tedious. Please implement this feature in next update. Thank you.
