There are 17 metering standards and types built in displayed in a higher resolution and 30 taller. There's a gain reduction meter in channel for total dynamics processing feedback (HD only) and Master Tracks can display separate meter type than other tracks. Greater visual feedback means you can deliver the best mixes with an extended selection of built in metering standards. Mini dynamics metering, mini sends view and expanded sends view are all amongst the new features (HD only).
