2 Meterbridge is a compact view of all meters in a session. It is designed
3 to assist for large recording sessions, particularly live recording where

6 <kbd class="window">Recorder</kbd> window.

17 By default, the Meterbridge window displays a meter per each track with
18 the track's name at the bottom and allows resetting the meter's peak

25 to <kbd class="option">Peak (+6 dBFS)</kbd> and the master bus defaults
26 to <kbd class="option">K14 (RMS)</kbd>. It's also possible to set the same
27 meter type to all same-type tracks.
30 Additionally, it's possible to select the height of the track name panel
31 by right-clicking above it and selecting one of the options going from
32 Short to Venti (which is a coffee cup size reference).
36 Just like in the usual mixer channel view,

56 <li>Fader as a gain knob</li>
